They don't have to.

They just have to stop being doormats and wimps, and be aggressive. Punch the bullies in the nose. Outmaneuver them, beat them to the punch.

I recommend going straight to this point next time. “Punch the bully” is not quite the same message as “fight fire with fire.”

The former suggests defying explicit power in defense of the weak. That’s a positive message.

The latter implies beating them at their own game by, for example, “out-corrupting their corruption,” “using fear to reverse-manipulate the masses,” and so forth. Not so positive.
