You could try responding to them with empathy and just be kind. Chances are the bully has never had anyone be nice to them and you might be surprised by how it might turn around the negative bully-bullied relationship you have.

Most bullies are hurting people because they are hurt themselves and by hurting you it helps them feel better. When I see a bully I like to ask them what they need. But you can't do this when you are around an audience so you need to pull them to the side and really find out what is going on. Being that support to them may reduce the bullying behaviors.

Do not respond in a negative way. Ask to pull them to the side and talk to them about why they have chose the route they chose. Tell them you are also struggling and can help them find another way to cope with it.

Empathize with your bully. It may be hard, but consider what he is going through. You should respond with compassion and kindness.

Tell him that the way he's dealing with his problems isn't healthy. And, that doesn't make his problems less valid but it doesn't excuse his actions as well.
