I whole-heartedly agree with your view that anything with an "e-" or "cyber-" prefix attached suddenly becomes the world's biggest problem.
Your suggestion on how bullying can be dealt with, however, I almost took as joke/sarcasm. I do not believe that having authoritative figures (parents, teachers, the law) intervene is the solution to social problems. The bullied finally learning to stand up for themselves, much like the way you did, is the only way the bullying will ever stop.
It's about growing up and learning to adapt to your surrounding environment. You can't call the police every time you trips over in life.
