Cliff's Notes:

He's in a two person room with two football players (three people in a two person room).
They pick on him.
He doesn't have the guts to go complain and get moved, or he can't move but he doesn't have the guts to complain. I'm not sure about that one.

I would move but my RA advisings strongly against taking 'the cheap and easy way out in life', so he wants to delay such a rash action, and have a little group discussion first.

I think that's RA talk for "I don't feel like filling out the paperwork to assist you to move out. F off." Seriously, do you really think that the RA gives a $hit about your problem? He's probably doing the job for the beer money.

Anyway, it sounds like you have two choices... Fight back or move.

Well it appears the e-badasses are out in full force. I kind of lucked out I guess, me and my roomate get along fine. I feel bad for you, this wouldmn't be good for anyone.

While you have to stand up for yourself it might not work here. No offense, you sound like the pin-cussion type who everyone makes fun of dispite your efforts and beliefs that you don't have it coming. Well it sounds like you do have it coming. I'm not saying you deserve it, but that I expect this to happen to your type.

They sound like they aren't going to accept you know matter what. You don't fit into they're little clique so your not going to be excepted by them period.

You've got to learn how to play their game. I know what your talking about, it sounds exactly like me around junior high and before that. I don't get picked on anymore because I'm not that victim anymore, and it has nothing to do with size I'm 140. I can't really describe what you need to do. For example you may think your insulting them back but to most it would come off as pathetic. They're may be nothing you can do, they're impression of you may already be ingrained; all attempts to "play their game" would come of as again, pathetic and likely funny as hell.

I'd say get out of there until you figure this out.

Sounds like you need a mix of confidence (know that your better than them), assertivness, and a sense of humor. You have to grow up before you can really deal with people who haven't.

-oh well good luck

or making up rumors and spreading them around the floor about me. stuff like that. he's a cool dude no doubt.
You know, to me it sounds like the guy is not completely comfortable in his own masculinity, so it's coming out as teasing toward you. I doubt you can do anything to "work it out". Steel yourself against it and try to ignore, or get out.

Wow that sucks.. Three people in a two people room :eek:

How big is the room?

Here, some halls have a three people room option and you get a $500 off AND live in a room twice the size of a two person room that has two doors.
