Yes, there is such way. You can first of all make sure for yourself, that violence is NOT a good solution anyway. On the other hand, don't be shy to approach him and ... just ask him WHY he is doing it. Don't be shy to tell him how it makes you feel. On the other hand, put effort not to take it too seriously, or at least not to show that you are taking it serious. That will quench the "excitement" of that joker -- you know they do it often "for the very sport of it". And the reason why they do it is to turn away from their own internal problems causing them suffering. So you can see his weakness. Take council with your parents (if that's possible, of course). And have some patience. If it doesn't work out from the first try, it will in the long run; but you will also get respect and love for your peaceful character. Just know for yourself: bullies are suffering within, they don't do it out of happiness. So, be courageous at that, you aren't the first one to face such things. Proverbs 16:32 says: "He that is slow to anger is better than a mighty man, and he that is controlling his spirit than the one capturing a city."
