why do people make fun of me so much??

Question

First off I am a boy in 11th grade ..... (just so you know)
I am always being made fun of for basically evreything. The way I talk, the things I say (because I try to be nice to basically evreyone and stick up for others). I dress in nice clothes aka (holister, aero, AE etc.). People just choose me to pick on for no reason. I dont bother anyone, I mostly keep to myself. People call me gay and a f*g all the time. People just do not like me. Even on the bus they make fun of me while I "listen" to my ipod, they 're so stupid, they laugh and always look at me all the time. What can I do to make people like me more? And get them to stop making fun of me?

Answer 1

I sense a jealousy factor in those people........who cares what a bunch of losrs think........study hard get somwhere in life and be the one laughing at them when the end up being nobodies..payback is a b**ch...............

Answer 2

I've lived through that too. It leaves scars on your self esteem that will last a lifetime if you allow them to.

When I graduated and went to university, it was like I had a new life. I made friends there that have lasted a life-time. It is like you have a clean black-board and are starting fresh.

I could tell you that you need to stand up to them, blah, blah, blah. But I also know that does not work. I ignored the ignorance and soon the harassment ended. Now, I am successful and have a great family and those same people that made me miserable in high school come to me for help and have ended up with huge problems in their own lives.

And don't worry, your sexuality develops over years and you will find what path best fits you once you can see past the darkness of how you feel right now. Talking to a counselor might be just the thing to let you do just that. Be a little selfish. Focus on you and what will let you be more like the person you know you are. I went on an exchange to help with construction of a new school in Ecuador. It sure gave me purpose and a better sense of self.

Best of luck. Chin up.

You sound cool, I wouldn't have made fun of you. But teenage-dom is so - so? unpredictably tumultuous- and somewhat of a hunting ground down the locker halls. You sound self-confident, which is the first (and greatest) thing you could possess. Knowing that you are a good person, silently saying to yourself, "Wow, I would never want to treat people the way they treat me. I pity them." Them being mean actually says more about their insecurities. And about the homophobia, you didn't say whether you are or aren't so, either way really, the only way to get them to stop, is to throw it back. Not in the mean way they approach it, but something like "What are you guys bored? Don't have nothin' else to do or something? You don't even know me, you're just making jackasses of yourselves. " To be honest you sound wise beyond your years. But on the bright side, you are ALMOST done high school, and then hopefully you can make a nicer more amicable lifestyle for yourself, whatever your choices are. Good luck - I'd like to close with a quote from Buddha ~

"Entangled by the bonds of hate, he who seeks his own happiness by inflicting pain on others, is NEVER delivered from hatred."

Answer 4

Not to make ti too simple but "this too shall pass". You are not the one that needs to change they are. That is a serious answer coming from someone who went through it. THings do change. If your planning to go to college you will definately see a difference there. Not that it will necessarilly stop but there you can choose who you hang out with. If you change to be what they want then you will be even more misarable and you will regret it later. Just tough it out and don;t give them the satisfaction of letting them see it bother you. Find better people to hang out with if you can and just remember that school like a job is someting you must do even if you don't like it. It is not your life its just something you need to do for 8 hours out of a day.

Answer 5

Find others interested in the same things you like. Then when you start hanging out wit them you will be picked on less. People always tend to pick on those that stay to themselves. I think because it's easier to target a individual than a group.
