God I hate the recent movement against bullying. *dancing* man up and defend yourself. Crying to your parents or the media these days only makes things worse, both for the kid and school. We had this exact issue a few years ago when I was a freshman, though the 'victim' was actually an 8th grader. I could explain it all, but basically the b!tch complained, school did nothing, parents when public and got media attention, schools finally took notice and decided to start 'anti-bullying classes' which cost our schools thousands of dollars. The result? Nothing. The teachers didn't even like doing the classes.
tl;dr: Fat kid is my hero.
