I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm genuinely looking for advice that a child would understand and can realistically act upon.
With respect, channelling your anger into studies doesn't sound like a solution. If anything, it could increase the child's sense of isolation and potentially invite even more bullying.
I wasn't joking when I suggested martial arts. Apparently it's great for improving self-confidence, and ideally you wouldn't even have to use it.

Yes martial arts can work. Not my first hand experience but i know my kung fu teacher works with kids 1 to 1 specifically to help them deal with bullying. It's not so they can fight back. It's more for mental resilience so the kid is less damaged, and dealing with anger/frustration, although part of it is the self-confidence that practical self defence brings.

I misread your comment. Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, the studying thing doesn't necessarily help with the bullying short term. It's better than putting another kid in hospital, was my point. But I see what you mean about martial arts. Wish someone had suggested that logic to me at 11.

Yeah, kids should try to be the karate kid, because that's just documentary fact.
Or, completely unrealistically, they could channel their anger into their studies so they can escape the cunts by having more life choices
