I gave my kid the same advice, it worked.

my oldest kid was short, wore glasses and an appliance for his teeth, so he was prime bait. Big kid picked on him every day on the bus and I found out about it.
Told son, the minute he puts a finger on you or your bookbag (which was heavy), turn and hit him as hard as you can with it, then hit him again just for the hell of it.
Second time it happened, he dragged the kid out of the desk while teacher was out of the room and punched him a couple times - didnt get caught.
After that, it was smooth sailing for the next nine years he spent in that school. In college, he joined his friends (the smart kids) in forming a fight club (with gloves and mouth guards).
Everyone should learn to protect themselves. Everyone can fight back. Hurt them bad enough, next time they'll pick on someone else.
Very good parenting. When my son was in middle school he wore glasses, played the Saxophone, and was very good with computers. Three kids were picking on him (as a group) for half the school year, and we gave him similar advice. One day I was picking him up after school, sitting across the street. Saw the three kids come after him and start hitting him. He threw his backpack and Saxophone down and proceeded to beat the snot out of the trio. Two male teachers came running out to break it up and took the kids back into the building. I waited a few minutes before going in to retrieve my son, and went to the Principal's office. Told him I saw the whole thing (later confirmed by a teacher witness). He got suspended for a day, which I didn't mind because the other kids were suspended for three days. No one ever picked on him again .He is now a happy, successful adult.
