I was bullied during the 8th and 9th grade.. I hated the bullies but I never really did anything about it... Then, when entering high school on the 10th grade, something clicked, I punched the first person to give me a stupid nickname, and after that no one annoyed me again...
So yes, I think violence in this case is useful... It doesn't really solve the problem though, it just shows to bullies that you are not weak and they should just choose a weaker target than you... They understand that, respect you for that and leave you alone...
Now for the small anecdote, I became good friend with the guy I punched and he actually had been bullied before in middle school. He had tried to be a bully in high school so as not to be at the bottom of the class hierarchy...
