I agree with you here, but one of the ways to deal with a bully is to report the bullying to parents, police, school administrators, etc. and actually have them do something about it. Telling a kid, "That's life. Deal with it." is what causes kids to commit suicide. It's not the best way to deal with it, but they are dealing.
