What should I do if my college roomie is a bully?

My college roommate has picked on me because he feels that I am soft, socially inept, and fat. He also is very muscular. He always greets me with degrading names like loser, geekburger, and nerd boy. Whenenever I eat he compares me to big animals such as whales, pigs, and elephants. He also cuffs me in the head, sting my neck or ear with a rubber band, and throws water balloons at me when im using my tv or the computer. I also have to spend alot of money because he throws away my food and I have to now buy out breakfast or dinner instead of store the food in our fridge and cook.

I do not know why people are so mean. He obviously has some self esteem and adjustment issues. That however, is no excuse for his behavior.



What your room mate is doing is considered harrassment and is punishable by a court of law. It is that kind of behavior that triggered the young man at Virgina Tech and many of the shootings that have been done at the various colleges and high schools around the country. I strongly urge you to report him to your dean. Also, I encourage you to talk with a counselor at school to help you handle your feelings in a healthy productive manner.
Reply:i agree with KC, teach him a lesson, and make him see that he is no better than u are. I was teased alot as a kid, and when I stood up for myself, I scared alot of ppl. Made them afraid of me. And had shown them I wouldn't take being treated like that.

Reply:Treat him the way he treats you. Let him lose things out of the refrigerator as well. Wait till he is asleep and beat the crap out of him with the clock readio or something. Stand up to him for sure...It'll be tough for a while but he will come around sooner or later.---Remember----It is better to die fighting than to live a 1000 years in shame...
Reply:He is doing this because you are allowing it. He sees you as weak, which makes him think he is strong. Bullies are losers, and insecure, so you need to take action right away.

Go to a counselor TODAY and follow the advice they give to stop this at once. If you let him do this, you will allow anyone to cross your boundaries and your life will be miserable. Learn to be assertive, and at the time you are being passive. You can't do this alone, I would think, or you would not have let it go this far. If you want to try, tell him to stop it at once, and mean it. And every time he does something bullying, ignore it, or address it (your choice). But DON'T let it continue. You are setting yourself up in a pattern which will make you date and marry a strong woman, who will then ruin your life.

Get help. At once. This guy is a bully, and he needs help....but you get it first. And get a new roommate as soon as possible.
Reply:Stand up for yourself. If he can dish it out, he better be man enough to take it. Sounds like he's got that little man syndrome- he deserves a chuck norris roundhouse kick to the face and balls. He's a loser, don't let him get away with that ****
Reply:When he greets you with degrading names you should respond with degrading names for him in turn .



i.e.

him: "Hey geekburger"

you: "What's up genius."
