How to get a scrawny ginger to go to the gym

I doubt the effects will be noticeable enough within the timescales. Perhaps instead offer the advice of reporting it to the school and lea if not dealt with?

I imagine the confidence gained from going to the gym will help in dealing with this too. Thing about most bullies is that they won't so **** when properly confronted. They pick on weak targets because they know they won't put up a fight.

This is 6th form after all, far easier to expel the bullying scum

Or instead they'll enter into a real fight and he will come off much worse. Better to stop the bullying initially rather than reacting to it.

Nah I think its best for him to deal with these problems by standing up for himself otherwise he'll get bullied his entire life

Or they'll know he's a pussy who has to get other to fight his fights? That's awful advice. He should deal with it without the use of authority.

This scrawny little ginger in my sixth form gets bullied in the common room and I mean physically bullied like getting his work stolen his bag thrown out of the window etc. He sometimes gets mad and tries to fight back but he is too weak to do anything about it.

So as a solution I have asked him many times to go to the gym so he can actually get strong enough to stand up for himself but he keeps making up bull**** excuses like saying 'he has a cold' and he instead prefers to stay in the common room getting bullied instead of actually going to the gym and trying to gain some muscle.

Is there anyway I can convince him to go to the gym or is he just beyond help?

In about 5 years he will enter the adult workplace and realise that no one cares or notices how 'hard' you are, because ultimately the strength of authority is far stronger.

It isn't 5 years in the future, this is the present. I'm not suggest he intimidate his Co workers with a shown of strength lol.

And I'm not convinced going to the gym will have any positive effects in the near present at all.

Going to the gym is hardly going to do much, is it? If someone tried that where I live; they would be called a try hard or something.

It probably will the guy bullying him isn't particuarly strong.

Even the 'beefiest' of guys can get bullied. It's more about cognitions, I reckon'.
