English term or phrase: take on difficult group
Same small group of kids at school repeatedly teases my brother. How can I help my brother?

It's one thing if your brother is teased only occasionally. It's quite another problem when this happens on a regular basis. You might tried staring, commenting, or even yelling back at the kids, but the teasing continues to happen. It's pretty hard to take on a difficult group by yourself.
