I don't think any sort of violence solves anything.

hitting back is not behaving like a bully it is defending your self and violence does sort things out especialy when dealing with bullies, the world isnt a rosey place where people discuss their feelings and appologise to each other and occasionaly a good thump on somoeones nose can solve a whole load of problems, it isnt a perfect system but im glad my son punched his bullies lights out and i would tell him to do again , my son is NOT a bully but he has my full backing if he ever gets in trouble at school for defending himself
bullies get away with a lot of things before they are eventualy sorted out yet some people condem a poor victim of bullying for lashing out just the once
