At my lunch table in the cafeteria my "friend" constantly makes fun of me and picks on me in front of 5 other friends at the table. I think he just does it to get a few laughs. And when i said shut up and stuff he would just imitate me? What do I say to him, should i fight him?

him making fun of you isn't worth fighting about eventhough it may irritate you. if i were you i would just rag on him back.

No try not to fight him.. instead when your alone tell him that wasn't cool do what you did at lunch time in front of the guys and gals there. I do'nt take that as kidding.
Can you cool it with that stuff. and if he's a true friend he will respect that your hurt about it.
I suspect he's just trying to gain points looking like a jokerster and wants people to like him but at your expense. Thats not right.
So be frank with him. if he continues tell him thats it buddy go find some other friend to put down. Im not interested in that stuff
good luck..

This is your FRIEND? You should be so lucky as to have an enemy close enough to see like that. Take him aside when you are not around the others. Ask him to reconsider making you look stupid infront of them. Ask him if your friendship means anything to him. If it does, let him know you will not consider it friendly for him to continue acting like that, it offends you. If he continues the behavior, move to a different table. It is not worth fighting over. Take it to an authority figure before you both get to that point. If he is truly a friend, there should be no reason to hurt him, right?

He is not your friend. He is someone with very low self esteem in that the only way he feels good about himself it to put you down. The next time he starts in on you, politely say I don't have to be subjected to this, and coming from a person of your caliber, thank you for the compliment......That said, get up and walk away. He'll be sitting there trying to figure out what you meant.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like this "friend" is insecure about himself and feels the need to make you look bad in front of others. People aren't dumb, they'll see right through him. If not, get some new friends. There's not a need to fight him, you'd just be sinking down to his level.

you can't fight him, then you've already lost. You gotta say something really witty and funny back to him that will turn the laughs at him. Not in an intentionally mean spirited way, but in a funny, yet still insulting, way. THat's the ONLY way to get back at him. anything else just shows that he's already beaten you and you're too stupid to respond.

Fighting will get you no were.
You need to not go out with him find other friends that appreciate you for who you are, tell him to go jump that you dont need frinds like him as he is only trying to be the major attention, and im sure your other mates know that but his thye one makeing a fool of himself

Come back with something that may result in you getting the laugh if it is done in fun then he really does not mean any harm don't be mean just do it in fun. "Jealous?" is a wonderful comment and do it with a smirk and a smile in you eyes

Tough as it is, you should ignore him. Like a fire with no fresh wood to burn, the fire goes out. He is just trying to bolster his self esteem, which is pretty weak. He may be insecure himself, and lashes out for support from his other "followers"
Hang in there. Don't tell him to shut up, your anger only fuels him.

Tell him it's funny how he has to try and make fun of other people to make himself feel better. Tell him that is the saddest way to boost self esteem... And tell him you feel sorry for him, but some day he will feel better about himself...
That should do it.

no don't fight him. Next time your near him ask if you can talk to him in private for a few moments. tell him that what he says hurts your feelings and youd appreciate it if he would stop. if hes mature enough he will.
