After that, you'll tell the bullies why bullying is bad. After that, they could be given a penalty coupled with counselling.
If they were to change, they will.

Your suggestion about counseling the bullies is a great one. It is essential to help them understand the impact of their actions and why they are harmful. Punishment can also be effective but it should be used carefully. The main goal should be to teach and reform, rather than just punish.
Here are a few other strategies that can be used to address bullying:
1. Education: Schools should educate all students about what constitutes bullying, why it is unacceptable, and what the consequences will be for those who engage in such behavior.
2. Zero Tolerance Policy: Implementing a zero tolerance policy can help set a clear standard of what is not acceptable in the school environment. However, this should be complemented with other strategies to be effective.
3. Bystander Intervention Training: It's also important to empower bystanders to intervene when they see bullying happening. This can often be an effective deterrent.
4. Support for Victims: Provide counseling and support for the victims of bullying. This can help them recover from the experience and build resilience.
5. Promote Positive Behaviors: Encourage positive behaviors such as empathy, kindness, and inclusivity in the school community.
6. Parental Involvement: Engage parents in anti-bullying initiatives. Parents can play a key role in reinforcing the lessons learned at school.
It's also worth noting that every situation is unique, so a one-size-fits-all approach may not work. The best strategy would be a combination of the above approaches, tailored to the needs of the specific school or community.
