My friend is sort of a wimp i thought it was ok at first but today i was flexing my pecs and he was looking all my other friends said stop staring and started making fun of him, he is 15 years old and he cried, this is not the first time but the third time this has happened in the last year. What should i do to toughen him up? hes a cool person its just he is a wimp sometimes and is afraid to stand up to himself

That is a shame.He is a sensitive soul,insecure and lacking confidence.He could do with working out at a gym to toughen his muscles up!!

i guess you should make him hang out with tough guys and toughen him up a bit. Or maybe that's not reason, he probably likes you so you guys should spend time together and tell him not to be afraid to stand up for himself or if he can't do that you should tell him to stop starring at you in a nice way and besides it's normal for every guy to stare at a girl and youre friends dont' have a life to make fun a guy who stares at a girl, it's probably cuz they don't have any guys that stare at them. Or youre friends just made fun of him just to joke around. :P

Sounds like he's very insecure about himself. I really don't know that working out or having him hang out with "tough" guys would be the answer. Maybe it stems from treatment at home or school. The very best thing is for you to talk to him and hopefully he'll open up to you. Please try that above all else and really listen if he does open up to you. Good Luck:)

Why didn't you stand up for him? He is your friend right? Maybe hes just sensitive. I used to cry a lot for no reason. He will grow out of it. But until then stand up to your other friends and be a good friend for him.

Wow that's a hard situation..What about meeting him one on one to go jogging and work out together..Build up his confidence..Id probably let him know my intentions too, you wouldn't want him to think that your trying to change him because your embarrassed or anything..You just want to help him cause you ARE his friend and you would hope he would do the same for you if the situation was reversed..Also, you could suggest to him to keep a journal ..I know it sounds stupid to you cause your a guy, but venting your feelings on paper helps..Hoped something helped..

wimps are usaully surronded by a sting of failures. He needs to do simple things that he can achive sucess. Give him simple things to do that build confidence.

I do not think that guys who cry are wimps. they just have a sensitve side to them that I think is becoming
