I cant get people to stop making fun of me?

Question

I moved to a boarding school 5 months ago. it's an all girls school so I knew it would be a warzone. the thing is, people are constantly making fun of me. I have two "aquantinces" one does not seem all that interested in being friends, and one is UNBELEIVABLY annoying. anyways on to the real problem. it is a tiny school, about 15 people in my grade. about 2/3 of them all join together to make fun of me. at first it was not that bad, it was just your average middle school preppy girl teasing, but is has become this terrible, uncalled for, unbeleivably rude thing. I have done LITERALLY NOTHING to these girls except make a few come backs that I do not mean to be rude in, but may come off that way, though I have stopped saying anything remotley rude so that they would have less of a reason to bother me. It is REALLY hurting me. I have glasses and braces and unmanigable hair so I know what it feels like to be made fun of, but I have never been treated like this before

Answer 1

I can sympathize, I was/am very "nerdy" and went through a lot when I was in middle school.

The cold, hard truth is the real answer to your question is no you CAN'T get someone to stop making fun of you. When they do this, it has nothing to do with you! They feel insecure about themselves, so it makes them feel better to "think" they have found somebody not as popular, smart or pretty. It's THEIR insecurity.

Really the best thing to do is ignore them, but I know (having been there) that's much easier said then done. But as much as you can, don't talk to them or respond to them. Save your words and actions for true friends. Maybe you only have 1 or 2 of those, but better that then 100 so-called "friends" who will stab you in the back.

If it gets to bullying and physical assault (and maybe it already has) that's something else again. Tell every adult you know at this school that this is happening -- part of THEIR JOB is to stop things like this from happening. In the short term it may hurt your popularity, but no matter. You are there for an EDUCATION and these girls have to realize if they bully you it is not tolerated and there are consequences.

Answer 2

Try talking to your guidance counsellor, or an aurthority figure, like nuns (if they are the ones) who run your school. The girls' attitudes are really unreasonable and downright mean and I understand that it can be very difficult to attend school when you do not get along well with your classmates. Anyone's physical appearance should not be a reason for unfair treatment by others. Tell your counsellor these girls' behavior is bothering you and and you feel alienated as a result. The clique may not be your best friends in the end, but at least (hopefully) the teasing will stop.

Cheer up and good luck!

Answer 3

In high school, I had a whole group of people that said nasty things behind my back and straight to my face. They always wanted to fight me and at my senior home coming, a group of about 8 girls surrounded me telling me they would beat me up and they said a lot of mean things too.

You need to go to someone who's in charge and who you trust. They can get things taken care of.

Remember, these girls are only teasing you because they are lacking something in their lives. You are a better person than them, and they know that.

Answer 4

They may be doing this for a lot of reasons. They may be jealous of your looks or smarts. Don't let them get to you. Be the bigger person in the situation. They may be immature. Just focus on school. They're too busy trying to tease you they shul be focussing on school also. When u graduate HS you'll be looking back at them laughing.

Answer 5

People say things that are hurtful and like to make fun of people. As long as they see it bothers you they will continue. Sometimes when you ignore them they will stop. Depeending on what they are making fun of. It could be looks or something you can't change. You have to accept yourself as you are the best you! Others opinion does not really matter. You don't have to please everyone.

Answer 6

You will probably have a hard time getting them to stop making fun of you. They don't even have a reall reason to make fun of you now so they won't stop. If I were you I would see if I could drop out of that school because things aren't going to be getting any better.

Answer 7

just dont react on them and they will stop making fun of you coz when they make fun of you they are just waiting for a much funnier reaction from you that they can talk about. just ignore them for a week or 2 and you will see the result.

Answer 8

be strong honey.
tell them to f*ck off or something.
but don't act like its getting to you.... don't let them get to you: thats what they want.
also.. you could try to get contacts and get a straigtner, and they'd bug you less. put on some makeup, if you don't already.
its seriously all it takes. im sure your gorgeous as you are, but some girls just don't give up until you look better than them.

Answer 9

as hard as it might be...try to just ignore them!! girls are such bitches sometimes...they only make fun of people because they think it makes them cooler. just stay above it no matter how much it hurts. you are who you are and no matter what other people say or think you just have to stay confident with who you are!

Go the the principle.
