I would say just ignore him. Although he's irritating, you'll probably just want to insult him verbally. That way if he attacks or hits you, you can go to the cops.

That would be amusing, but could open the door to a whole new level of hell for the OP.
Dude the best defense is offense. Pick a fight with him and have one of your buddies secretly tape it. But make sure he hits you first. Then submit the evidence to the principal/whoever is in charge.

I can't believe some of the bad advice on here. . .
First off, don't bite ANYTHING, for all you know this prick has HIV/Hep A/B/C, trust me you do NOT want that scrotes blood in your mouth!
Secondly, is there any chance you can "play the system" so to speak? If he's hit you (more then once from what I understand) why the hell not go tattle? I mean really, almost every school has a "zero tolerance" policy at this point, so rather then getting yourself in trouble by fighting (even if it is self defence) why not just let the school admin kick his ass out?
If that isn't an option (either because your school admin hate you [side note: oh how I'm glad to be out of high school] or for some other reason, and please note "honor" is not a reason to not get authorities involved, there's nothing wrong with manipulating the system
) then I would have to agree with Lee, HIT 'EM. I'm inclined to agree on this one, the kid is most likely a wuss who thinks you'll never fight back, a broken nose may quickly change his mind. Oh speaking of which, using the heel of your palm (http://www.dynamicselfdefence.com/images/palmfist.gif) give him a swift shot to the nose. You'll most likely break it (and at the very least make it bleed).
On a side note, I would certainly encourage you to get involved with some kind of martial art, there are always going to be bullies in life, and its damn nice to have the confidence to stand up to them. I don't condone starting a fight, but it is sometimes confrontation is invevitable.
So to recap: if at all possible get authorities higher then yourself to deal with it. If not, you may end up having to take matters into your own hands, just don't go overboard. Hit him once and back off, if he comes at you. . .well use that 2" and 15 lbs well grasshopper

A hit to the nose is quite dangerous with the incorrect amount of force and can kill a person (and has on occasion been done) delivering a blow to the nose can cause a chunk of the bone at the bridge to lodge in the brain that's potentially life threatening. I find such advice irresponsible and inadvisable to give to a child in matters of self defense which are non life threatening.
Heavyweight boxers/mma fighters get hit in the nose all of the time, I don't see many dieing from brain penetration. I don't think you realize the density of the skull.
He's technically right. . . though it usually takes several shots DIRECLY up at the nose, so if you do hit him, make sure you come in at a bit of an angle
Is this bully picking on other kids, or just you? If there is a group of you, then I would - as a group - complain to the principal. Have there been witnesses to his slaps and bumps? If so, are the witnesses sympathetic to you or to the bully? Would the witnesses go to the principal?
I believe strongly that the best first action is to avoid violence. However, I also understand where you are coming from and once had to physically deal with a bully. I knocked him down first, he got back up and gave me the biggest freaking black eye I had ever seen (my first and only one, I might add). I didn't hurt him at all...
And that is something to consider here. All these arm-chair warriors would have you try to physically confront him - and I think you may have to - but unless you have actually been in a fight, or trained to fight, hitting someone is not as easy as it looks. One: You will probably hesitate. Its natural. Its why, it sounds like, you are good person.... violence doesn't come naturally to you. Two: When you do swing, unless you've trained, you'll probably do it wrong... Three: Combined with One and Two - your opponent will have time to move out of the way, and will be trying to hit you. Four: Are you sure he won't have a knife or other weapon?
If you have to confront him, only do it with with your friends handy as backup. Try to knock his hand away as he slaps you. He may try to goad you into a fight, though.
Is there not a counsellor you can see at the school to see what the school can do?
Good Luck.
Follow up questions: What is the policy at your school regarding fights/violence? If its zero-tolerance, then can you get a video of him slapping you? If you can get the video, say something quietly in his ear about his mother's sexual preferences - hopefully the video will catch him hitting you. Then post the evidence to youtube under his name - making it sound like he is bragging about it - and then show it to the school authorities.

To kick that punk? That'll probably get the OP to jail for attacking that kid and it'll cause a backwash effect instead.
Use your most powerful muscle, your brain. Not all but some fights are finished in a few seconds, the most dangerous part is if someone gets permanently injured, this can lead to a lifetime of misery. Whether you are on the receiving end or the giving end of a permanent injury or even death in some cases the ending can last a lifetime. It would be best to walk away and avoid the situation, USE YOUR BRAIN MUSCLE.
I have been in the ring, I realize it quite well, and professionals as well as amateurs do die or are severely injured during matches due to blows to the head it has happened in the tough man tourneys when untrained fighters were killed, also Mike Tyson (a professional) suffered brain damage years ago prior to his rape trial and divorce from Robin Givens (not likely the blame for his actions, but it did cause serious damage and it didn't stay in the news very long) He should never have been medically cleared to fight ever again.
I have associated with my share of boxers, mma competitors, street brawlers, wrestlers, as well as a few ex special forces members trained in hand to hand combat over the years and they all are aware of the risks of injury and death involved. Skull density alone is no guaranteed protection from a strong enough punch.
Not doubting it, not a doc or a specialist. I almost did not get into the military because of how many times I would get into brawls....and getting arrested for such. My pride knew no bounds. I have "exploded" my fair share of noses. One hit is all it takes and the other person usually does not want to fight anymore after that. Its how I ended my fights quickly.
Kicking someone....I dunno. With the crazy laws these days. They might say your shoe or boot is a weapon. Plus kicking the crap out of someone who is already down......the end result will not be good for the OP.
I stick to my original advice. Stay away from the guy. Tell the school, "Hey this kid is bothering me"......put it on them. Be passive....but if he corners you and you have no other choice....a direct hit to the snot-locker...no palm stuff...balled up fist. If the school harasses you afterward.....they failed to act....its on them.
You obviously have no idea of what that could do, tattlers get beaten up more than anyone, and it isn't good for your reputation in school as well although if your already low in the popularity scale I don't see how much more harm it can do but still being beaten up more for tattling is not worth the tattling.
Just go mental on his a** and hopefully he will back down
I have made my desicion...and i have decided to slap him in the face with a trout.
A few things I should wonder though before I do this.
Do you think this will be too degrading for him? It might be thinking this because im sympathetic all the time, so I don't really know if this would be an *******-move on my part.
After I slap him in the face, what should I do?
Im planning on going to the fish market; do you think they'll have rotting, expired fish? And if so, what fish should I get?
Also im concerned about how the people around me will act.
And would you guys like to have a video of this happening? I might not be able to, but ill try my best to get it on tape.

You were talking about sending shards of skull into his brain which would be an instant kill. These are kids, that isnt going to happen.
...K... just don't hit him with the trout till he gets physical with you... otherwise claims of self defense will have a hard time swimming upstream.I have made my desicion...and i have decided to slap him in the face with a trout.
