Im getting bullied , how can i stop this?

I think there is a time to ignore people, like at the sports stuff and a time to say something, like if someone is right in your face at school you should call them on it, tell them they are pathetic if they have to make themselves feel better by picking on you, it doesn't make them cool it makes them look like an a** and the only reason anyone else laughs is because they don't want to be the target. Bullies thrive on intimidation, let them know that you aren't afraid of their crap and they only have friends because those people are scared of them, no one really likes those people trust me. Anyway don't worry too much about it, bullies tend to lead miserable lives, you'd probably pity them if you knew what was going on (then again maybe not haha).
