Kids are jerks. Bottom line. I've seen the dorks do the bullying as well. So many injured egos running around trying to make themselves feel better. I think most of us on this site can relate and there are no easy solutions. Every bully is different. The sad part is that the solution/problem is probably somewhere at home. Either they're being picked on themselves or are being encouraged by the bullying behavior of a parent, uncle, role model that they respect.

My advice....tell them to hunker down and get through high school. Most bullies don't continue their education and if they do they quickly realize that it won't get them any friends in college. Fighting with a bully whether physically or verbally usually won't get them anywhere; the bully has much more practice and natural skill in this department.
