Instead of just putting up with it did you ever think of fighting back?
The way to stop a bully is to stand up to him. They can't be social engineered out of existence, any more than can greed or lust, or loyalty or friendship, or any other human trait good or bad.

IMO Schools should confine themselves to teaching regular subjects like reading, writing and mathematics. I see way too many high school graduates unable to do these things on the most basic levels. Leave the social engineering tasks to the parents where it belongs.
