I think you have to go with how your son wants to deal with it. Reporting bullies to authorities is actually standing up for yourself. Doing something about it is standing up to it, its his way of doing it and many others as well.
Probably doesn't want things to get physical as well, which I'm the same, so its better to go to the authorities as sometime it can cause yourself more issues
