I would be surprised if you come back and say ā€œI will never do thatā€. It is contagious. :slight_smile:

i actually would like to do strongman in the future. Iv requested for my gym to get some equipment but i doubt they will. Iv looked at some alpha videos on strongman in commercial gyms and it seems i can make a few things out of pipe and even replicate the axle bar using duck tape. Im also going because i know that seeing a bunch of strong as heck people will motivate me to get even stronger lol.

I seem to tolerate food quite well and i dont really fart much, strangely when i just eat whatever i want thats when i fart bad. Although Sometimes il wake up and wonder why my room is so smelly lol.

Well just rub it in then lol.

I know most people think it’s downright offensive for women to fart, but I’ll be honest and say I’m an extremely gassy person. I also grew up around a brother and father who constantly held contests to see how hard they could fart without shitting themselves.

Did you participate as well lol?and sometimes i do have death farts and i get told to go sit outside . I have to avoid having lots of nuts, they give me major farts/ shits if i eat to much.

Sometimes I did. Lol

The foods that give me the most gas are broccoli, or flower yielding type of veggies, (is the broccoli part the flower?) anyways, cabbage, sprouts, beans, certain protein shakes containing whey, and any Creatine mixtures that contain magnesium sulfate or phosphate. And anything with chili spices. I still thoroughly enjoy eating all the things I listed though lol.

Back in the early 2000 at the time of the second gulf war, I was nick named Chemical Ali (after a certain military leader) by my employees due to the obnoxious gases that would come from my office!!

incline press machine 3Ɨ10. Just too mentally tired for anything more. Im going to drop saturdays arm day because i have to much crap/ stress going on in my head right now . Its not very taxing but il use it as an extra day to recover. Il add some biceps on back and triceps on shoulders day. Oh another thing; iv had enough of stupid pathetic dicks at school, today i was sitting eating my food at lunch and someone comes and pours a bottle of water on my head. I hate this stupid school and city schools, i dont fit in tbh and im like the only one who eats, everyone considers it ā€œuncoolā€ to eat?. I dont care, im just sitting by myself away from people from now on.

It makes me really sad to read that Duke, I never understand why people are like that. Advice wise I’m pretty useless but I think everyone else is doing a good job with that. All I’d say is just find one or two good friends and keep to yourself, you don’t need loads like I thought I did in school. Perhaps join a new club or start a hobby or something and try to meet people that way. Finally try to keep a check on your anger like you are doing- they are so not worth you doing something silly and negatively effecting your life, by ignoring them and getting on with it you’re winning.

All the best mate and keep venting on here because we are all in your corner.

Oh and one more thing: if you haven’t already speak to your teachers and tell them that people are effectively bullying you. When I was in school there’s was a big stigma about not telling on people but I think it’s just what people say so they can get away with stuff. They’re already being horrible to you what else are they gonna do, you’ve nothing to lose.

Yr 8 9 and 10 can suck mate.

I really don’t like to endorse violence but sometimes you just need to hit the biggest bully in front of everyone to get some respect in that situation. Prob get flamed for saying so, but if they are going to continue to be lil shits…

EDIT: in no way does that mean going crazy and putting anyone in hospital! Control yourself.

How the fuck is it un-cool to eat damnit.

That sucks man, Kids like that tend to act out of insecurity.
I know its not much comfort right now but that attitude usually doesn’t get them very far in life.
I got bullied a bit but now they’re all doing shit… makes me feel better lol
hang in there mate, end of years coming up soon

It’s the age where any degree of trying is seen as uncool. Slacking is rewarded, right up until you try to get a job.

Had food thrown at me and crap poured on me too. Sucks, but it’s 14 years later and those kids are still living at home. Karma sorts stuff out.

Hey - just saw this video yesterday for a class I am taking - yep, 54 y/o, still trying to learn.

Basically, if you view yourself as a victim you limit your options and are passive in life. If you relabel yourself as a creator, you create opportunities for yourself.

It’s kind of simplistic
