Laugh with them. Show them who you really are, if they don't like it... fuc k em (not literally) And also... if you choose to make fun of them back... make sure you're not too harsh ^_^ then people will probably just well... not like you...

There are some good clues to this situation in some of these answers. Remember that the people who do this are afraid of some of their own inadequacies being found out, so they direct attention elsewhere. These people are not really popular, but others are afraid of them and so go along to protect themselves. Because being ridiculed does hurt, public humiliation is painful. This is done by folks who don't know you and your reality, but count on making you uncomfortable to control you and their other surroundings.
Count ten inside, look them straight in the eye quietly, have an attitude of being patient with a child having a temper tantrum(what they are). Think what they're missing--knowing the real you, someone unique and wonderful, who will never get a shaky sense of power by humiliating others, or making them frightened. Feel sorry for the one, or those, who did it. Go back to doing what you were doing, as if it hadn't happened.
Yes, this will take practice. Remembering these thought processes will take a while to become a habit. Don't give up. Adversity builds character.

Amanda, I went through the same exact situation. That was 24 years ago. Everything will turn out the way it is supposed to. You will eventually find yourself in another stage in your life where you will not be teased by others. You will have grown tough skin and an appreciation for the underdog. You will eventually hear stories about those who teased you and how poorly they have done in life because they spent too much time teasing and thinking about teasing instead of focusing on their school work and/or themselves, as humans.
Everything in this life is temporary. The ones who make fun of you have nothing going on the inside. They are empty shells, making noise in an attempt at recognition.
Tough it out, Amanda. All of your experiences are here to make you a better person.
I got through it and have learned how to deal with those types. Sarcasm, sarcasm and more stinging sarcasm!

I know it hurts your feelings to get make fun of. I think it happens to most everyone in school. But, good news, when your an adult that won't matter anymore cuz people grow up and then you just live your life without teasing. I know that doesn't help much now.
One thing I have to say about teasing, it is usually because of one of a few things: either jealousy or someone feels bad about themselves and puts down other people to make themselves feel better about themselves or it's a power trip and people want to see how many people will do what they say or to be more like them because it also helps their self-esteem. Don't let it get to you. In the end, we are all human beings trying to find our place in the world and to live life the best way we can. Good luck to you! I am sure you are a wonderful person and I hope no one ever makes you feel bad about yourself! Be yourself and be proud of it!!!

You can't control other people. They do what they do. DON'T FORGET: people who have to make fun of others are not only cruel and mean, but they are saying they have to be cruel and mean to make themselves feel better. It doesn't make them better; it makes them worse as a person.
So YOU...you have a chance to make yourself better. So concentrate on health and wellness and education. Become the best person you can be. Concentrate on your emotional health, your physical health and your spiritual health and get smart. Learn about finance. Find what you love and do it (assuming it's legal, moral and such.) You will have a happier life and the "making fun' will become just the noise of insects.
I speak from experience: I am a self-made business person with my own business and I publish articles and speak in public. I have friends who like me and I am happy with my life. The old stupid kids who made fun of me in school for being tall and being "different" are long gone and ...I wish them well. Doing just fine here.
You too! Get going! Be yourself and improve who you are and you will have a great life.

Just be you...high school will be over soon and those popular kids will be pregnant or strung out on something to cope with being popular. I know it seems like hell right now but you can handle it. Someday you will be living life on your own without early pregnancy or a drug addiction. Stay in school, go to college or find a job you enjoy...ultimately that is all that matters once you are living in the world with bills and a family to support. Just find a goal for yourself and focus on that.

I don't see a question here. Are you asking how to stop people from making fun of you? If so, read about building self-esteem. There is a point whereby you can experience anyone's put-downs and it won't bother you. Do you dress wildly? If so, dressing differently may change the reaction people have of you. Just a thought. Not much to go on here.

First you need to remedy the thing people use to make fun of you...
Then you need to be cool. And by cool I mean laid back and look like you don't care about what anyone says. People are just looking for reactions. If they don't get one then it won't be any fun any more. (and then they'll probably choose someone else to pick on)
I'm glad you say you don't care about being popular, that's nice to hear.

Listen chika, they are probably making fun of you because they have to many insecure of there own so they make fun of others to keep the attention off their flaws, try pointing out some of theirs. That and take pleasure in the fact that the biggest reason for the teasing is because they are crying out for attention because mommy and daddy either drink to much or just plain hate them, ha.

First you have to ask your self are they laughing and making fun at me or is it because the stuff i do. If its because the stuff you do like maybe tripping or spilling something over that shouldnt bother you because everyone does it.But if their laughing at your apperence that hurts more.But maybe you should change your style or make up just a bit.So that you fit in but dont change completley for people,just make small adjustments and if you one of those people who always answers questions in class dont do that that much. But if you need any more questions or answers my sn is Preppy_blonde_01@yahoo.com
