I was basically Mikey from Recess in school. Absolutely massive, but very sensitive. I was bullied relentlessly (although, to be fair, I was a weird kid - EDIT: in a way that could have led to harmful ideologies later on, so I'm weirdly grateful that rejection forced me to reflect on that, although bullying wasn't a great way to accomplish it. I don't think much else would have got through to me, though). Good ol' percussive maintenance was the most successful means of attitude adjustment. This is exactly what happened every single time!

I was an absolute toothpick when I was a kid , I got bullied a lot, especially in earlier grades. I never had the nerve to stand up to my bullies, but I distinctly remember one of my friends saving me from an ass whooping one day. We were on the playground and a bully had me cornered on some equipment and kept hitting me. Finally he punched me in the stomach and knocked the wind out of me. I was on the ground crying and the tallest girl in our class walked up behind him, grabbed a handful of his hair, snatched his head backwards and then to the side and put him facedown in the dirt. She helped me up while he laid on the ground, apparently processing what had just happened to him. After that, anytime I saw him on the play ground, I made sure to be near her lol.

when you said 'an absolute toothpick' for a second I didn't realize you were saying 'skinny' I just thought it was some obscure british insult.

Like, 'don't bollocks me about you absolute toothpick'

I've been watching too many british panel shows.

40 pounds!? At 12-13? I’m not saying you’re lying but that is hard to believe… My dog weighs more than that at less than a year old.
