Use a club, attack them from behind when they aren't looking, hurt them, they will think twice next time.

How very Machiavellian of you.

I was in 7th grade, 12 years old and a 16 year old in my class (he drove to school in 7th grade) bullied me, he was fully grown. Tried to fight back but just couldn't.

I don't know from Machiavellian but I do know that the only way to stop a bully is to make it hard on them any way you can.
There is no such thing as a fair fight. One side always has the advantage of weight, Height, age, Bullies do not pick on those who are capable of fighting back. Make yourself capable.

A big problem that is in schools these days (far from the days of most posters on this forum) is that it is no longer a 1 on 1 scenario. Usually, these bullies run in packs. It is not considered cowardice any more to have 5 of your friends beat up on a weaker kid.

They are pack animals and should be treated as such. Animals don't understand, nor care about consequences until they're on the receiving end. It's time to bring back reform schools. If the vast majority of offenders are of a certain persuasion, it's a warning sign, not prejudice. They've earned their position through their own actions and should be held accountable. If you aren't held responsible and punished for your antisocial deeds, where is the deterrent?
