Address the cause. For some reason you appear vulnerable to them. Try to get to know at least a few people so you appear (and are) less isolated. Try to improve control over your body language. Take up aikido[1]. Your goal should be to make the abuse stop. Thoughts about 'getting even' are understandable, but ultimately can be resolved in your head which is far less dangerous than fighting people. I'm not saying violence can never be a useful tool. Just make sure you don't end up paying for someones dental bill or getting beaten up by six of his friends.
