I second this, definitive action is the key... if you make it un-fun for the bully then they are less likely to do it. The victims can't stop it, if they do 'fight back' then the bully has their ego damaged and gets even more aggressive in their pestering (unless you totally obliterate them, but then you have to do something about the former bully who is now physically or mentally screwed up).
