Okay so I dont know if this has to do with hormones in my body but im a teen male, and a few years back before i matured, People could say anything to me/about me and i wouldn't care i'd just laugh, but Now im older and with hormones and more mature (testosterone obviously) I am more sensitive to people calling me names? Like i dont cry like a baby but it really bugs me so my question is
1. does this have to do with hormones?
2. what can i do to try and not care so much?

theres nothing you can do about it but just try and stay calm and when some one calls you a name just ignore or imagine them as they called you...like if they called you a baby imagine them in a baby costume crying and just laugh, that's what i do and it helps...
good luck!!

Growing up isn't easy and puberty is a very difficult time. Things that didn't bother you before now bother the heck of out of you and you feel that no-one sees or feels things the same way. Yes, this is very hormone related. It is very mature of you to realize this and that awareness is going to help you get through the next few years. I always found the teens that were confident about themselves didn't let the little things get to them.
Focus on developing yourself into the man you want to be. Do things that will contribute to your spiritual and physical beings. Read and develop deep thoughts. When you exist on a higher plane, all the kids who are trite/mean/malicious somehow look smaller and inconsequential.
And finally, enjoy youth - it is most fleeting!

Obviously men and women have different hormones but I think that a surge of hormones in males effects them just like hormones do in females. I am a very emotional girl when I am about to start my period and my hormones are in overdrive. Seeing a baby hippo die in a documentary made me cry last week.
I'm going to take a guess and say that this is not a single fold issue. Change is difficult on any human. I'm not just talking about puberty but just change in general. You are probably going through change everywhere in your life and whether or not you are aware of it, it is probably stressing you out. This underlying stress makes people a little touchy- when I'm stressed I get really irritated at everyone in general.
Now for the solution (this is a two part solution and long, but good): If you are feeling bugged about people making fun of you, you need to figure out why. You may be feeling more sensitive because what they are teasing you about is something that also bothers you. Ex: in 6th grade people might have made fun of you for being really tall- but it didn't matter to you that you were taller. Now people make fun of you because you have acne and it bothers you because you don't like having acne. I don't know if this is the case or any where close to it but if it is something that is really bothering you, change it or just accept it. In HS people used to tease me a little because I always wore my hair up in a pony tail or a bun. I only wore it like that to school because I had curly hair and didn't know how to style it or what products to use so I went to a hair dresser and had him show me and give me a cut/style I was comfortable with. I also had people make fun of me for being such a book worm- that is one thing I wasn't going to change about myself so I just had to accept that I am a book worm and who cares if other's don't like it.
As far as being so sensitive due to hormones I always have to remind myself that I am so emotional because I am PMSing. Just acknowledging that fact makes me feel better.
I think it is great that you are seeking solutions to your problem and are trying to fix what is bugging you.
