I think there are ways of stopping it effectively, sadly not everyone has access to those means though. To stop it without outside intervention you need to have a vicious streak of your own, which not everyone has. To stop it with intervention you need adults (teachers or parents) who will take it very seriously and attack the source head-on and persistently which, sadly, simply doesn't always happen. I think a sad reality is that in the first case - bullies pick their targets selectively and it's not the kids who can fight back either physically or nastily... and in the second, the places where bullying is at it's worst are in environments with disintersted asults who aren't paying attention in the first place, so are likely to find it "a hassle" when it's reported and half-arse the response or try to sweep it under the carpet.
