The answer is yes and I voted for it, but I don't like the wording of the option. It is absolutely NOT the victim's fault that he or she is bullied, it's the bully's. Just because fighting back ends it doesn't mean not fighting the bully causes it.
If someone tries to mug you and you pull a gun and shoot them, you ended the mugging. That doesn't mean people who don't walk around armed cause muggings.

And yes, if someone's a bully and trying to hurt you, fuck "honor." Do whatever you have to to survive and minimize the damage *you* take. If you're going to fight, commit to it. Doesn't matter if it's "dirty," just go all out on his ass. The goal isn't even to hurt him really badly (though that may well be the means to the end you seek), it's to make him afraid to mess with you ever again. Beat the shit out of him, show no mercy, require others to pull you away, let him think you're crazy (heck, above all else, get across the message that you're crazy to him). Instill fear. That's the only way to make it stop.
