I agree, confrontation isn't necessarily the best choice for every kid because of their natures.

Through personal experience though I can say it was one of the best decisions I ever made standing up to a bully. Stood up to him, scrapped, broke his nose, and the bullying was done. Period.

If that isn't an option, I guess you have to get counsellors or other authority figures to hopefully not make the situation worse.
