| Did getting bullied induce your desire for strength? Hi MG. This is a simple poll asking if any of y'all got your desire to become stronger from being bullied or ostracized for one reason or another. I must say that although this isn't the whole reason I've started training, it is a part of it.     |

| I was never bullied in school or anything. That's not to say I was popular among the jocks, just that I was pretty steadfastly ignored by most people. I guess that might be part of it though. I started wanting more people to notice me and it seemed that jocks got the most attention. Of course, at this point this is all wishful thinking. I lift occasionally but not nearly what I'd need to do to pack on some real mass. Unfortunately, being pre-med doesn't leave me much free time in college. __________________ I won't sit down And I won't shut up And most of all I will not grow up. - Frank Turner |

| I think so. It's been a rush going from a skinny wimp to someone who can push some serious iron. Not sure how functional my strength is, but I could definitely bench press my old bullies. ;-) |

| I was bullied in grammar and high school, but that's not why I got into muscle growth and weight training. I did it because I didn't want to be a fat flabby person (now I'm a fat muscled guy   ). I was about 37 when I picked up weights and started exercising. I wanted to be different from other people. I need something to be recognized for, so maybe it does hark back to the days of being bullied. __________________ Blanche: I don't really mind Clayton being homosexual, I just don't like him dating men.

| No. Quite the opposite, really - I think that, if I weren't bullied at school to the degree I was, I wouldn't have retreated into myself, and started to think of the physical as meaningless compared with the mental. Once I left school, and was at university, where bullying didn't occur, my interest started to increase. Mostly because I realised that if I want to improve myself, I can't focus only on the mental side, it's all part of me. It took another 7 years for me to reach the point where I was comfortable enough to start going to a gym, though. |

| I'm shocked I have a similar situation. Can be discussed. __________________ The Diet Solution Program |
