<p>It’s unfortunate, but bullies never go away. They’re in high school, they’ll be in college, and you’ll even see them as an adult. </p>
<p>The best way to deal with this guy is to not deal with him at all. Try to stay out of his line of view, and he’s likely to move on to someone else he can upset. If not, then tell your buddy to just take comfort in the support he has with you and his other friends.</p>
<p>It’s sad how pointlessly mean people can be. I hope things get better =)</p>
