How old is he? My DS deals with it by treating it as a joke..He makes the jokes self defense.

I'm sure there are better ways to deal than this but I'd be tempted to role play some snappy one liners with him... Along the mature lines of "Nyer nyer, you havent got a Dad!" "Yeah well you haven't got a brain!"

Giving him a come back and helping him seem not bothered might help the bullying stop?!
