If you are being bullied,you should immediately tell a teacher or your parents what you are going through. You should also ignore the bully to make him/her feel powerless against you. Another thing that you could do is to just agree to anything that the bully says, that'll frustrate him and he'll go away. You could also stick up for yourself or call your friend to make a larger group against the bully.
