Yeah, and be sure to know stuff about them, like who their previous boyfriend was. If he was an idiot, well, you need to make sure that the girl herself is worth it, if she picked an idiot.

Reality Check- Hot twin has boyfriend but likes to hang out with chubby funny guy with a health problem. Dude, your her girlfriend and she doesn't even have you on the POSSIBLE boyfriend radar. This situation will never change so you have to decide if you are going to want her as a "friend" knowing that a relationship will NEVER happen. You are just going to be stuck pining away for her and you will have this little fantasy that will never come to fruition.
Stop being so self-pitying and self-centered and do something for someone else for a change.
Find that chubby or plain girl that has a good yet hidden personality. Treat her as if she was the best woman you have ever seen. Make her feel special for once in her life. Do things to make her feel the way you want this fantasygirl to make you feel.
Do that, then see if you might have found what yout looking for.

Misguided Help
A lot of mixed ideas.
It's hard to decide a lot of things, due to that every human is a bit different than others. Normally, i would agree with you Oldtimer. But the first time i met here, and yes, the first time, she wanted to dance with me, and so we did. And she didn't have to at all, it was free will. And SHE asked ME. That's why my hope startet.
Heres how a friend would describe me:
Funny. Bad taste of humor  Outgoing, geeky, clever.
Overweight, fuzzy hair. And Magic Eyebrows
(if anyone of you has got me on msn, there is a pic)
There is this girl the class, which has got the hots for me, but she isn't funny at all. She likes classic things, and hates heavy metal(She plays the violin ^_^)
But heres a treat.. in a few days i'll make a new thread which you might find interesting, and i'm sure you'll like it!

I did not want to have to ever reveal this, Real Deal, but I can no longer let you live this lie.
I, The Ultimate Male, told your dream girl that if she would dance with you, then I would let her give me a massage. She liked giving me that massage so much, that I agreed to continue the deal as long as she continued to show affection towards you. How could she resist? Better yet, how could any woman resist?
I hope you're not mad, but I felt that I just had to tell you. Next time you see her, just pay close attention to how soft and silky her hands are. This is a result of hours-and-hours of hot oil massages she has earned by hanging out with you. She does have really nice hands, does she not?
Until next time, CyberBoners, keep stealing your mom's Victoria's Secret catalogues before she gets the mail, and remember...

The Good News
Haha =)
Today was a GREAT day. In the bus home, her twin, and a friend sat behind me, so she sat next to me. And we talked for a long time, and we agreed to dance at an upcomming party. Guessing that my Charms and Humor isn't all that bad. But, a part of me has .. withdrawn, because i actually do know that this is a battle which cannot end to my favour, but i can still be good friends with here, if the other thing doesn't have access. But thats life, and i'm still happy. Life is grande.

MmmVaseline, I am guessing you are talking from experience here, looking at your -1 quality count. Too bad I don't see Moderator under your name or else I may have taken your advice seriously. What's the matter, did you run out of mason jars for your bottled fart collection?
Anyway, TheRealDeal knows the real deal. If he would like me to remove my posts, all he would have to do is ask, as he knows I respect his requests (even if I do not believe the girl and her twin sister actuallly exist). I even volunteered to hook him up with The Ultimate Male's 10 Week Guide To Building A Bad *** Body, which I have photos to prove that it does indeed work. I know that it works because I am living proof, plus as a Certified Personal Trainer in real life, I have assisted numerous people, but overweight and underweight, achieve a better body with the methods. The Ultimate Male did not always have the body of a Greek God that he possesses today, as he was once skinny and pathetic like most of you CyberWimps around here. It took some hard work and discipline, but I recorded my methods and progress, and nobody can argue with the results. Perhaps you would like a copy, too, MmmVaseline? It may help you build some muscles in other places besides your left hand and your mouse clicking finger.
I am only here to help the light of truth shine upon this CyberAbyss, so do me a favor and...

Wow!
I've read some of the most offensive and arrogant things in this thread I have ever read on these forums. It hurts to make time to write this but I think it has to be done.
First and for all some people cannot control their weight, or with extreme difficulty due to an illness or another physical condition. Saying being fat is people's own fault in those cases is just low and disgusting. Diabetes and other sugar/fat processing diseases are more common nowadays than you would think.
The vast majority of people are physically attracted to healthy looking people. In my opinion people who are slightly overweight don't look unhealthy, there's a point though when people become unnaturally big and thus unattractive indeed. But being unnaturally big and being slightly overweight are two totally different things. Yet by some in this thread treated as the same. For people reading this who are bigger than they want to be this is offensive, these are insults that hurt. Stop it, do you lack so badly on other fields you have to make others feel bad over superficial things to feel good yourself? Bah!
Healthy, good looking people have advantages, true. One wink or a smile can open doors, literally. Sometimes you can get things done more easily, people have a tendency to say yes more often. More people are physically attracted to you which means you can 'choose' between more possible dates. But there it ends.
If you're only satisfied with the best looking partner you can get, you're probably the type of person who believes in happiness gained through the possession of a beautiful car, a big house preferrably with swimming pool and more material things. Well reality check... Those things can keep you busy for a while but get boring pretty fast. If you rely only on the height of your status and the jealousy of others to be happy that's a very sad thing and your life is an empty box. A good looking box, but empty nonetheless. Once you realize that from the top of your mountain of material wealth, you're in for one hell of a midlife crisis. Also, you can have the best looking partner in the world but if they're impossible to live with or just have nothing to say well good luck on making it work.
Not all of the women I've dated so far were exceptionally good looking. It's not like I have some sort of scale I have to check before I decide whether a woman is good looking enough to start something with her?  Basically I just want a woman that makes me feel good, and I think the same pretty much counts for every guy. I think women just want someone who makes them feel good too, a man who makes them feel like a woman.
When you fall in love with someone, but that someone doesn't have the looks of a god or a goddess would you 'not' go for it because of that? Or would you break up if your love would be involved in some sort of accident destroying their good looks? Sad thing if you answer yes to those questions. You still have a lot to learn about love.
To people who have concerns about their weight I just want to say this. If you're unhappy with your weight, work on it. Not for reasons told by some in this thread but it will raise your self esteem and will make you a happier person. Secondly there are medical reasons. Fast food, soft drinks, candy, sugar and fat destroy your health and will kill you in the end.
I've been a vegetarian for the last seven and a half years and I exercise daily (not much, 15 mins max) - I don't have a gram of fat tissue on my body. There are other ways to lose weight of course but this one's healthy. If you would like advice on how to switch from a regular to a vegetarian diet just send me a mail (may take a while but I will answer back). If you're happy and feel confident about the way you look though why would there be a reason to change of course?
When you feel good about yourself, people can read that from your face. People will be attracted to you just wanting to share that no matter if you look like a model or not. If you don't have complexes, and you're just enjoying life and are happy with the person you are there is no reason to lose weight, even when you would be a bit overweight. It will make you more attractive than any good looks ever could

Nidhgrin,
Thankyou for the inspiring post. It was heartfelt, genuine, and deeply moving. I agree with the entire post.
I would like to tell a story about when I was in the u.s. airforce. I qualified and graduated as a special forces rescue medic. It was my job to help heal people when they were sick or hurt. Because of this, I met many different people from many different walks of life. I learned that looks can be measured by more than a person's physical appearance. Because of this I began to see people who were good looking but ugly inside, and poor looking people who acted like united nations ambassadors. Some people were good looking and very considerate and some were ugly both inside and out.
Where ever the beauty comes from, I learned that sometimes people would bow to others' criticism of them. I suppose it is the old saying, "If you hear it enough, then you start to believe it".
While in the airforce I met and hung out with friends of mine that loved to roleplay D&D. While I was a highly respected special forces soldier, they were technicians, cooks, flightline mechanics, etc. I remember one time when I went to the lunch hall to eat lunch with my friend Ben. While we were sitting there eating and talking, we started laughing and smiling. A few tables over were some other soldiers from Ben's own unit and squadron. When they heard us laugh they yelled to Ben to "shut up" and "keep his nerdy mouth shut". I looked at Ben and he became real quiet real fast. I asked who those guys were and he said they were from his shop. I told him to ignore them and he didn't answer. I said, "what's their problem?" and Ben said they always picked on him because they were much stronger. So, I told him not to let them push him around. I said he shouldn't be afraid of them because they were bullies. He whispered back to me that I was right and that it wasn't fair.
If you check my picture in the RL Photo thread, you'll see how in shape I was. I was a very healthy person at the time. So when Ben said this, those guys overheard him and yelled for him to keep quiet. I was so enraged that I stood up and pointed to the one yelling. I said, "Who are you and what is your rank?" After asking, I noticed he was of lower rank than me so I called him out and told him I would "enlighten his commander" if he didn't stop harassing this airman. They just laughed so I walked over to their table and leaned over to the fellow soldier. I whispered to him, "If you have a problem then you can take it out on me, but leave my friend alone. You might be able to kick his *** but I'm willing to bet I can take you down." After I said this he became defensive and his other buddies told me they would call the security police if I didn't leave them alone. So I returned to my table quietly and we were never bothered by them again.
I have two more stories I can tell when I defended my weaker friends from bullies. The truth is my friends were largely as The_Gootch described. They weren't nearly as strong as me or many other soldiers but I valued their creativity, imagination, and ability to do their jobs as military technicians. They were valuable people to the airforce and to me as a friend.
I completely understand when The_Gootch says he is tired of keeping those marines in shape. I was in Pararescue and let me tell you I've done my share of dragging the slowest member of the team along with the rest of the group. The point is you will always be faced with people who are physically incapable of performing to certain standards. In some jobs the requirement may be to do 70 pushups. In others you may be required to do a hundred. I've learned that as a person you will be faced with the choice to help other people to meet those standards or you can be selfish and tell them they are losers. I choose the former because when it's all said and done, the tests are over, you're an old man, and physical appearances have gone to age, you will be left with a great friend who will remember the time you spent with them when they needed you.

All right, TheUltimateCybergeekWannabe, You Have Offended Me. News flash: Your jokes are old. They're so old, they now offend me instead of making me laugh. That's pathetic and annoying. Pathetic, because you, hypocrite, claim to be a popular person yet have the sense of humor of a fly. Annoying because they are meant to hurt people. I think that, like Nidhgrin said, your life is like an empty box, and the life of women who are/want to be your girlfriend are like empty boxes too. So I should feel sorry for you, but I don't, because you offended me.

Relax, mvassilev, everything's gonna be alright.
As far as the humor goes (and name calling), if you can't take it, then don't dish it out. The way I see it, some individuals in this thread are so realistic that they are coming off as harsh, but guess what...sometimes reality can be a harsh thing to face. There are others here who would tell someone exactly what they wanted to hear in order to avoid hurting their self-esteem. Who's right? Who's wrong? Who cares? As far as I am concerned, I am merely here to read, observe, inject my unparalleled sense of humor, and offer a path to making some people feel better about themselves through some hard work, proper dieting, and some dedication. With that in mind, I am still willing to send you my workout/diet program if you would like, free of charge.
As for your comments, I must agree that there is much truth in what Nidhgrin has written (even if he is a vegetarian). Is beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder? You tell me. Can a person be happy with someone who makes them feel good about themselves, yet lacks those qualities that appeal to their partner's sexual desires? I believe it all depends on how much a healthy sex life is valued in the relationship.
To The Ultimate Male, there is nothing sexier than a female who is his equal or better in every way possible. Now, these are few and far between, but they are out there somewhere. However, when it comes to women, I am an Equal Opportunity Employer. I do not discriminate on the basis of height, weight, religious beliefs, or bank accounts. All women need love, but it is up to you to decide who it is that you want to give your love. I often hear the phrase "He settled for less" or "She settled for second best." My next question is this...If you really love someone, then is there really any 'settling' taking place?
I will share this with you, though. If Real Deal is telling the truth and not fabricating this girlie situation, then I wish him all the best of luck. If it works, Real Deal, just don't hold on too tightly, my man, or you may scare her before she really gets to know the Real You.
Now, to be my materialistic and cliche-ish self once more, in the infamous words of Whitney Houston, I must tell you that "Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all." I'm heading off to the gym, but until next time...

Multipost.
Thankyou Very much Nidhgrin and Consis. Your posts were inspiring.
First one goes out to all: I'm not the best looking tiger, neither good at sports, have a fitt body, i have a small limp. But, i have a great sense of humour, i'm not dumb, i have a large band of friends. I'm no greek god. But if you remember, a lot of greek gods were feared. I'm more like budha, which was loved. Now that doesn't sound all that bad. I must admit, having a nice body would help me, but not everyone has fair chances.
And i'm a bit proud of this thread, i've seen many good posts and i'm enlightend by a lot of people. There are also the bad people, which are to negative and try to spoil our fun, but as long as one of us stands, we are legion.
About TheUltimateWhale, Heres my 2 cents about him:
He was rejected by the nerds, because he was simply annoying.
He was rejected by jocks, because of the same reason.
Now his only joy here in life is finding people which has had a bit of trouble, and grind em with it, so that he may feel intelligent, funny, and feel like he has a meaning here in life. BUT, i think he is funny, and i don't mind his last posts, because humour is welcome, to a limit =) And he earned some respect when he deleted some threads which i thought was just... plain annoying and horrible.
About the twins, they do exist. If i should lie, why wouldn't i say that i was a jock which snowed them all the time? Nobody would claim to be a handicapped overweight kid with heart problems? There is a line mister.
I'm a bullie, AND a defender of the weak. I hate when people with the IQ of a duck, say that they are smart, and that they have like a million girlfriends, when you know they don't. I don't hit people though. And if friends are bullied around for no real reason, i step in.
I like my new highschool. There is a lot of positive things going on. "Life is Grande!"
Again, thx to Nidhgrin and Consis. Great posts. May i see many more.
And stay tuned for an upcomming thread, many will probably like it, and i hope i'm going to see some people which are willing to help, and do it themselves.
Much Love and Care, Christian. The loveable blimp 
Edit: Nice post TUM.

There. Now, TheRealDeal, in the beginning, you made yourself sound like just another fat person, and it was like a miracle to get girls. Now, that's not so surprising. Intelligence and a sense of humor can help more than looks.

A bit of info, for those who want to know about my feet thingie:
My name is Christian Østergaard born in Aalborg in Denmark, i was born with a feet condition, my toes could almost touch my knee's. After alot of surgery, before i was 1, my feet looked normal, in most cases things should be ok there, but i wasn't one of the lucky people. I had a rare condition for my Achilles' tendon wouldn't grow. So as i got older, they had to do surgeries, but they also shrunk when some short time after.
When i was 7 the tried with major surgery, the whole shabamb. They did everthing possible, i sat 1.5 year in a wheelchair. In that time they bought me a computer, when i was younger i played my dads, because i had difficulty walking. So in those 1,5-2 years i did nothing but play computer, and the ½ year before the surgery i was really a sporty child.
When i got to becomming twelve, i'd had 6 surgerys, very painfull ones, mostly because i'm "Pain killers intolerant" so they had to give me small doses of some rare ones, ouch. In one of them i actually died for 2 whole minutes, talk about getting a shock when hearing about that later on.
Well, when i was 12, i had to have more surgerys, or i would have to stay in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. They told me of some thing called "Ilizarow" And it would be my only saviour, but it would be very painful, but i wanted to walk, so i said YES. So i had the surgery, and i should get ,25 liters of morphine every day, they had operated some thing into my back which pumped it into me every second, only problem? It didn't work. And the nurse just said i was being a crybaby because they pains were seriously high(picture getting 28 metal spikes jammed through you're legs) But at the place there was a docter, a good friend of my, which operated my legs. He heard about me being so whiney, and he checked out. That nurse which called me a crybaby? Fired on the spot. I was the first person in Denmark which got it done with both feet at one time.
Here is a picture of Ilizarow http://www.studentbmj.com/back_issues/0499/graphics/ilizarov.jpg
I was in a wheelchair, being constantly teased for 7 months, with incredibly high amounts of pain. Btw, they stopped doing it on both feet right after they tried it with me, the pain level was to high. Well, in those 7 months i mostly hanged out with friends who came to visit, and i listened to music, oh the music i would play. Since then i have been in love with music, and the things it can do..
(My dad had a heart condition, so he can't remember so much anymore, because of the shock. My mother had "whiplash"(not perverted) and she broke her neck, it grew back in a bad way, so she can't remember either, so it hasn't been easy)
Want more details? Just ask.
By the way, i died under surgery. They had given up all hope of reviving me, when suddenly my heart just startet pumping again. I've been dead 3 times so far, because of my allergy to drugs. "Life is Grande!"

Story #2
Another one of my friends from the airforce in our D&D group was a cook. His name was Sean. Sean was probably the most friendly person of our group and also the most heroic. In our little group he would always make believe he was a Ranger or a Paladin. For people who don't know, these are fictional Dungeons and Dragons characters who hold honor, loyalty, and the truth above all other principles. In real life, my friend Sean was overweight by the military standards but they let him stay in the military because he was a damn good cook. When the soldiers needed food he would work very hard to provide them with what they needed.
He worked at the same cafeteria where Ben was insulted in the last story. One day he was off duty and we went in for some lunch on a saturday. As we were walking down the line, he recognized all the cooks behind the counter because he worked with them every day. As we were moving down he asked for an omelet and the woman cook told him he couldn't have one because he was too fat. Sean became very quiet. I was standing next to him and I didn't want to make the woman angry so I stayed quiet too. He asked again very politely and said, "Please can I have the omelet, you don't have to cook anything else." She told him he was a fat slob and he should get some vegetables instead.
It wasn't her job to decide what soldiers ate. If they asked for something from the grill, it was her job to make it as long as they asked her nicely.
In the airforce, if soldiers are being impolite to the cooks then people get very angry and sometimes don't cook the food. This wasn't the case with my friend.
So we simply kept moving and got our food quietly. When we went to sit down I asked him why she said that to him. He said that she was a few months pregnant and that she was simply over reacting. I told him if that was true then she shouldn't be working. I told him he should say something to his supervisor to get her reprimanded for this action. But Sean, being the nice person that he is, just said no and continued to eat his food. I told him I wasn't going to let someone treat my friend like that. So I went and wrote a formal complaint to the mess hall supervising sergeant.
One week later, Sean and I met at our friend's dorm room. He took me aside privately and told me thankyou for what I did. He looked like he was going to cry because no one had ever stood up for him before. I told him that he should believe in himself and not to let other people tell him he is a loser just because they are pregnant or any other reason.
My friend Sean was overweight but that didn't mean he wasn't a good person. Whenever we played our make-believe games with pretend made-up characters he would always try to save us from the dragons, wizards, evil monsters, etc. That's the kind of person he was inside. When he played this make-believe game I think it was his chance to be the kind of person he wished people would think of him as. To me, he was a very kind friend who always spoke kindly to other people. He didn't have big muscles or lots of money. He was a true hero in his heart. I knew this and I was proud to call him my friend.

Well, I can't say I'm really fat, more slightly overweight. But I think that I can say that It doesn't feel good to go to school evry day, when you get to hear every day that "Oh, your'e too fat.", "Come on, fat guy" and stuff like that. I got to admit, sometimes it just feels like you should be staying home from school, because if you go there, you'll only get teased.
But one of the worst parts is that some of the people that tease me is the people I call friends. I don't know why, but it seems like they (they are only like, 3 persons) don't care about other people, and they do think a little weird. If they tease me, that's just fine for them, but if I tease back (they are, apparently, my friends) they'll just get pissed off. I don't relly understand those who are teasing others fo´r being fat? have they experienced this feeling? Do they think of what can happen if you get teased every day in many years? No, I don't think so.

Teasing is hard, but i think that when the years go by, it isn't that hard to overlook. Unless, its a group thats doing it. And no, people doesn't know what they do to you.
Here is 5 easy steps to avoid being teased, but take in mind, some people go around some of the rules.
Even if you are a wimp, stand up. Take a few hits, often people stop if you just show courage.
Tease back, even if they become seriously hurtfull, don't stop.
When there is a bully, there often are more people which gets teased, group up with them, and tease the suckah foo's
Tell your paretns. This ALWAYS sounds like a bad idea, but it works. And i'm serious.
Here is a way that ALWAYS works, the minute he says something mean, hit him in the face. Don't hesitate, just know the f00 down. Make sure it's a hard hit which he has trouble getting up over, but make it fast. Then he knows that you might do it again. And remember, don't threaten, just do it.
The easy way out. Please do not result to this. When they are teasing someone else, help them teaste that person. It works often when it comes to getting you out of trouble, but it passes it on, and that person might not be as strong as you.
She seemed dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame.
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable.
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
But I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
A catch in my throat
Choke, torn into pieces I won't - No
I don't want to be this
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
She isn't real
I can't make her real
She isn't real

One Poster's Opinion(nothing more/nothing less)
First let me say this. I treat people the same no matter where I go and that also applies to this little chat forum. If I think someone is acting like a bully or inconsiderate jerk then I tell them. I don't pop in with some highly thought-out contrived post with an underlying meaning. It just isn't my style. If you want to know why I'm like this, it's because I've seen enough real life people take advantage of others that are always smaller and half as strong. I was raised in boyscouts, played football, and served in the u.s. military, so I'm sure anyone reading this post could easily imagine those paths of life to contain plenty of "only the strong survive" mentality-types. Or as Khaelo once called them, "uber-extraverts". Don't get me wrong though, if I think it's a fair fight then I respectfully keep my damn mouth shut as it isn't my place to speak for someone else. And I'll gladly add that most of the time fights among relative equals is a common occurence.
But sometimes people get bullied, picked on, or endlessly harassed by someone that THINKS they are stronger, smarter, or whatever. Let me just say that I wasn't raised to be a bystander watching bullies do their work. My mother and father always taught me that If I was able, then I should step in when the odds weren't fair for some people. I'm 29 years old and from what I've seen thus far, I've noticed kids mostly get beat up by their fathers than any other type of bully situation. Contradictingly enough, I was one too. My old man never was nor ever will be the smartest person. I've got a real bad disposition towards hypocrasy(as I'm sure some will understand). Anyway I suppose that after being raised to think that and then being beaten up by the same people who taught it to me, I guess I've just accumulated a strong sense of fairness among fighting. So it goes to support the kind of person I am today. I despise bullies and I commonly encounter the gang-related-types in my current neighborhood. I've chased them off on more than one occasion. The other kids tell me they've got knives, guns, etc. Well I don't care. If I'm killed for standing up for what I believe in then so be it. I couldn't think of a better way to go.
That's the whole reason I post supportingly in this thread, because I've seen up close what it's like when people start trying to force their inconsiderate and ignorant wisdom on people who are overweight, handicapped, or just plain young. If a man is created by the consecutive events of his childhood then I'll go ahead and say that's me.......to some extent. But as a person, I know who I am even if I was born today without having done all the things I've done.
Why can't people simply put themselves in other peoples' shoes before saying they are fat or a slob? Is that so hard? It might even save some people from the embarassment of getting their own arses pummeled by folks like me. It's simply a small piece of the larger concept I think of as "Honor".

Here is 5 easy steps (bad ideas) to avoid being teased(increase the likelyhood of being teased), but take in mind, some people go around some of the rules.
Bad idea 1:
Even if you are a wimp, stand up. Take a few hits, often people stop if you just show courage.
This is what the bully wants, the bully will make you his favorite target.
Bad idea 2:
Tease back, even if they become seriously hurtfull, don't stop.
If they are not your friends, then teasing back will again make you number 1 target, and a lot of bullies cannot stand to be insulted so they will porbably stop teasing and start hitting.
Bad idea 3:
When there is a bully, there often are more people which gets teased, group up with them, and tease the suckah foo's
If the suckah foo is being teased then the darcy joos will come to play. (No bully really cares if a group of victms teases him behind his back, unless the teasing gets out then all members of the group will have to watch out.)
Bad idea 4:
Tell your paretns. This ALWAYS sounds like a bad idea, but it works. And i'm serious.
Unless the teasing turns to physical threats then telling mommy and daddy will lower your social standing and make the bully want to tease you more, but this is the best of the bad ideas and the one to seriously consider using.
Bad idea 5 worst of all the ideas:
Here is a way that ALWAYS works, the minute he says something mean, hit him in the face. Don't hesitate, just know the f00 down. Make sure it's a hard hit which he has trouble getting up over, but make it fast. Then he knows that you might do it again. And remember, don't threaten, just do it.
Congratulations! You have just commited an assalt. Enjoy your vacation from your old life and say hello to the legal system.
How to handle someone whose teasing you at school when you are a wimp? Ignore it. The bully is just trying to get a reaction from you so if you do anything you are giving him what he wants. Why do you care what some a$$hole thinks of you? But if you must react just Laugh with him. Make him think that his jokes are funny and that you are in on it. This is probably the least desired outcome for the bully, if he thinks he is becoming an amusement for you he will probably go victimize someone else. If these don't work then tell the teacher or administrator, if they do nothing then its time to go to bad idea 4 and get mom and dad involved.
