Not getting along with roommate at all....

Okay, I am in the midst of a problem in my college dorm room,

I have a couple roomates, and we are all crammed into a small room (a room that was meant for 2 ppl)
In the fall, we all agreed that it was okay if we were put into a 3 person room, and in return for our cooperation we would each receive
a $500 housing discount per semester. (housing is like 1900 a semester normally)

and well.. the first semester i dealt with it. my roomates were okay but kinda mean and dumb at the same time. They are both football linemen for our school team (we are D3) both 6'+ Ryan is about 250, Aaron about 225.
I'm the nonathlete who weighs about 165 and I'm only 5'8"


I get the feeling that neither of these two roommates really respect me, by the way that they both poke fun of me and in just the way that they do it. I really dont like it when they try to put me down. I've talked to one about it, and I think we're cool, but the other (Ryan) is not cool with not being allowed to put me down, he says roommates are allowed to tease one another.

Anyways.. the first semester conditions kinda sucked so I decided I would move out and commute over J-term and Spring semester.

Well, during J-term when I lived away and came by to visit every now and then, it felt like I was an alien, a stranger, that I was missing out, and basically I missed the social life you get with living on campus,
Well, thankfully there was one spot open in my hall, but unfortunately it was the same room with my old two roommates.

Well, I told them I was moving back in and I moved back in and I've been there for a couple weeks now.,

well as you can expect, the teasing came back again, from Ryan especially, and he finally agreed he would stop teasing me, but that in return I couldnt touch or use any of his stuff ever again. (Which includes the one TV in the room unfortunately which my gaming system is currently hooked up to)

Well.. thats where things are at.. and we basically hate each other.. we talked for a bit, he told me how i disliked how i had moved back in, i told him i had a right to, (the housing department would have let ANYONE move into our hall who had wanted to, they considered our room as being one with a spot open) and that I was sick of him making fun of me.
And then we made our little agreement about him not teasing me, and me not using his stuff.
And now there is a strange silence between both of us on the floor. Thankfully I dont really hang out with his friends that much, but i dunno, its just weird.
Any ideas folks?

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.

That really sucks for you man. All I can say is that you need to find another place to move into, or else suck it up and finish out the year. You've already talked to the guy and he's proven to be a complete asshole with no regard for your feelings so don't bother trying to change him, he'll get his sooner or later i'm sure.

Go take up jiu jitsu for six months. Train every day, stop going to school and just train. After those six months, go back to school, live in that same dorm room. The first day you go back tell them some rules. If they tease you tell them that you're going to break their asses. If they say yeah whatever blah blah blah, choke one out then choke the other out; they'll never, ever tease you again.

This is a joke, only a joke, do not take this seriously.

start wearing female clothing and tell him to stop being such a silly bear everytime he teases you. he'll stop.

edit:
actually, you need to start humiliating him in front of people when they come over. if his guy friends come over have some preperation h ready and walk out and say "hey i thought i told you to clean up your preperation h when you are done with it, you sick slob!!!" or if a girl comes over do the same but use some type of anti-fungal crotch cream.

also hang a buff male in a g-string poster over his bed if you know he and some pals are about to walk in. or find some condoms for people with tiny peens and put some on his bed or on his papework.

dig up some dirt on him too so you can make personal attacks on him. what does he look like? you should rip on how he looks physically.

if he has pimples or a lame hairstyle rip on him. if he likes linkin park or some trendy music rip on that too. if he looks buff and handsome there are plenty of things you can say also, but they involve wwf and gay references so i don't it's allowed to be posted here.

if you guys share a phone and someone calls for him also take the time to humiliate him. "oh i'll go get him for you..." come back "uh he is in the bathroom and i hear some strange slapping noises and he keeps saying mommy." or "he has constipation again so it's gonna be awhile before he gets out of the bathroom."

the possibilities to rip this ahole apart are endless. chances are he'll end up wanting to physically fight you though because he's a dumb shallow ape.

Pussy this Pussy that,

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?!?

He is friggin 250 lbs, I'm 165,
Besides even if I did try to get back at him in some way, I doubt he would just say "well done, its a good thing you stood up for yourself"
instead things would just escalate and get worse. No jerk gives up their ground, you guys seriously think I can somehow 'win' by standing up to him?

Standing up for yourself doesn't require an asskicking. Learn how to take a joke and give as well as you get.

Or you could just continue to whine about it on the internet and stay scared for the rest of your life.

Nair in the shampoo bottle.

once he notices he's balding, you can make fun of him about it

Tell your RA exactly what he can do with his "group discussion" idea and work on moving out. Go over his head if you need to.

Ok..first serious response.

It really depends on what the "joking around" and "teasing you" is...

If he is pissing in your coffee, sh!tting in your bed, or sleeping with your girlfriend..thats going over the line.

If he is just calling you names, or poking fun of you..just try and roll with the punches, and try to come back with your own jokes. If he physically threatens you, or assaults you, report it immediately. That is unacceptable.
