There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

I think I was using it wrong I was just trying to come up with a word to describe something that's non-meaningful, of little substance, etc (not that I'm a good example either )... Oh, well mistakes happen.

Wait I didn't do anything like that D: I acted cool and broke down like every normal child. Then I bullied a teenage girl who I actually had spent time with >.> Yeah my luck with women has gone the drain since then. Of course her so called me bullying her is messaging her asking what was tonights homework and also telling her i missed having her comments in the class rooms. Yeah that's definitely bullying. More of an intense research on an individual thing, which isn't as bad as what she claimed I had did. "He Hacked my account." "? UHh officer i actually didn't do any of that. I was actually just sending her messages wishing her a happy birthday, she called me a bastard stalker gakker that should jump off a bridge, I responded by calling her a bitch "

That's......an interesting turn of phrase.
See I hate the word stalking because everyone always thinks of the guy with telescope in someones tree. In my case it was just me researching her intensely in that I commented on a photo where I was included and said I looked uglier than a beetle. Yep that's why she blocked me originally because I insulted myself

You sound like a creeper.
Really because she tagged me in the photo. So I saw it and commented on myself

Well, the unsung part of it is, school bullying tends to fade in high school. At that point, discrpeencies in size are lessening, and people have moved into more serious stuff, like girls and getting a job.

This is presuming that our friend the Duke is a teenage male.
I'm also presuming that weight isn't mostly muscle.
Aha...so ...seeing as I'm 6'4" and weigh around 260 pounds that would be around 18 stone yes?
Yeah, 18 and a half stone.
I'm around 6'2 and I tend to be around 11 or 12 stone.

I am lucky enough to have a group of good friends, we hang out, talk and sometimes play soccer.
Our group gets called "The nerd group", not because we play warhammer and video games (they don't even know about that),, but because we are smarter than them.
So, we work harder, get good grades and don't get into trouble, and yet we are bullied? It makes no sense to me.
They then took the torment way further, and got people from their group, to dack us in the middle of our school feild, infront of all grades.
The teacher heard about this, and they only got ONE detention. Seriously? Honestly?
We got back at them in the best way!:
As we were playing soccer we waited for them to stand infront of us to torment us, and we pretended to go for goals, but actually aimed for them!
I got the ringleader in the stomach, and they have left us alone from that point on.
Moral:
If you get bullied, hit them with a soccor ball!

Everything the British do, is done to confuse foreigners.
Apparently the "Stone" weight has no "legal" bearing nowadays, but is just used for measuring people.

As an aside: "Intense research" sounds like stalking to me.
Yeah, and saying you look "as ugly as a beetle" doesn't sound very suave either.
Neither did her telling me I am bastard that needs to go kill himself. First death threat from a girl was from that girl at least that proves something she is craazzya!
Which reminds me of something about my sniper rifle Lucy, oh how i miss that gun.
It was bullied so much by younger scouts that it eventually commited suicide in 2008. Stop bullying :(
Poor Lucy.

15 stone at anything under 6'3 isn't particularly healthy either.
I can't envision a world where a 400 lbs man isn't caring around an unhealthy amount of body fat. But 15 stone under 6'3, that's a generalization. 15 stone at 5'8 and 10% bodyfat is incredibly healthy for a male, so it's really about body fat and lean mass. You can be 8 stone and 6'1 and be unhealthy if your body fat is 20% (it happens). Just throwing out there tha BMI and hieght wieght charts are useless. Bodyfat is what matters.

I take anyones stories about fighting with large grains of salt, and in person check for the tell tale signs of "winning" fights. Crooked noses, swollen cheekbones, misshapen ears, maybe a scar or two. On the interwebz when I see lead pipe, my brain shuts down. Everyone knows tie down chains from flat cars work better.
@Asherion did you facebook "intense research" this chick or did you follow her home in your van?

I was picked on by Bruce Li, until Chuck Norris came along. After an intensive training montage I challenged Bruce Li. Oh crap. I just remembered. I still lost. Here's some home video.

I am glad to say that I have never ever been bullied in my whole 17 years of existence.
Thing is, I live on a small Island (population 160,000) where most people know each other. I go to a small school and there are currently 14 students in my grade 12 year. (this isnt the same all over the Island, but I go to a french first-language school, french being a minority).
Being in such a small class really forces patience and understanding on a group, so normally we all get along splendidly. On one hand, because of the drench program we get a lot of new students, a couple being immigrants (who are always really nice and interesting to talk to)
On the other hand, living in what some would call a back-wash province, you get your share of right-winged butt-holes.
So today in law class, we are discussing how the only english people allowed into the school are people with french histories and backgrounds.One of the aforementioned right-winged butt-holes (lets call him Carl), voices his opinion about how he agrees with this and it is in the french community`s interest to preserve the "bloodline".
The next subject we talk about is how the only other party allowed to enter french schools are immigrants (such as the one in our law class, called Nin, who is Syrian christian). "They have the right to choose which language to study in when they immigrate" says the teacher. She also adds that Nin had probably chosen as well (Nin doesn't care about being an example, because she is proud of her culture).
At this point, Carl semi-publicly exclaims somethign along the lines of " Godamn immigrants, they get treated better then we do"...
My friend proceeds to get up out of his seat and yells to carl "Someday you will realise the potential of a multinational based country, but until then, stick to talking about your monster trucks and 4-wheelers, because we dont wanna hear your racist crap anymore"...

I can say my bullying story is true, but on others I can't say, since I don't know the guys.
I never had any luck from girls, I was walking near one, so I could get to the toilet, (the toilet was in the hall, she was in the hall) and for no reason, she screams, kicks me in the balls, and runs off. Girls are vicious bitches
...I find myself wandering how many of those who are "bullied"
