you really shouldn't be fighting someone at all unless for self defense reasons and only if he throws the first punch. tell someone what is going on, like an adult, teacher, or parent. if you do get into a fight, you should be quick and fast to dodge his blows. only strike back when his guard is down. try striking from behind and never do the same maneuvers a whole bunch of times in a row. mix up your routine.

i think fighting is overrated and causes nothing but even more trubble. first just try to stay out of his way as much as you can, but if worst comes to worst, kick him as hard as you can in the nuts.

Walk away.
Ignore him.
Pretend he's not there.
Forget about him.
Laugh and pretend his words don't hurt you.
Don't talk to him.

Well, I for one am totally for having a good grasp of self defence. I am not saying you should pick a fight mind you, but I think its great to be able to turn the tables when one comes under attack.
However, no one can tell you whether or not you should fight. If you dont know how, you will lose. Learning useful techniques will take months in the very least. So probably, in the short term, the answer is don't fight.
However, to avoid this in the future you could start training now.
I don't see how I could teach you anything practical online. The problem is that you not only need to learn techniques, but someone needs to monitor your progress as you practice them endlessly. Only when they have become reflex are they of any use... thats why those bogus 2 day "learn to defend yourself against a mugger" courses are not worth a dime.
So, the best I can do is recommend what you should learn. Fighting can be broken down into components. It is important that you have some understanding of each one.
1. Stand up fighting: This includes both long distance (where kicks and punches are used) and close up (which relies on shorter punches, knees, elbows, and grappling).
2. Ground fighting: This is where you can gain a serious advantage over your average thug if you are trained well. Many, if not most, fights eventually go to the ground. There are techniques for fighting both in the upper and lower (as in underneath) position.
You can either take the components separately or you can join an all-round art. I strongly recommend ju-jitsu (particularly Brazilian) or shootfighting. Combinations of arts also work e.g. boxing or karate + wrestling or judo
I stress again, do choose something with the ground fight element (not just karate or boxing) because you will have a greater edge over every single untrained person.
Many of these arts (particularly those of Japanese origin) also teach discipline, restraint, and focus. Not bad things to learn at any age.
Strength training is always a plus as well, but you need a program specifically made for someone who is young.
Thats all the advice I can give you.
Good luck. I hope this all works out for you.

I greatly reccommend you don't fight back, especially since he is twice your size. His way of solving issues may be through violence but it doesn't have to be yours. Take the high road on this one, because violence will solve nothing. Not to fight back will show a lot of strength and character in you. I suggest you try to keep your distance from this person as best as you can. If it's really become an issue, talk to an adult about it. Even though school will be over soon, talk to a guidance counselor if your able to. Remember, a bully will use violence and intimidation because they're insecure, so if you think about it, they're weaker than they seem.
