why do people make fun of me?

Question

People at school make fun of me and my friends. We are nice, but we are not the most popular. They make fun of our apperance when we arnt even ugly, (there are other people that are worst). This one guy came up to ur face and said we were so ugly. What can i do to stop this? Should i just ignore them? Has anyone else been through this?

by the way i am 14 and in middle school, i am going to high school this fall, will people still be imature like this, or will they grow up a bit and stop acting like such jerks?

Answer 1

Well...glad to hear that YOU'VE grown up. Unlike them. =D

Answer 2

No, sorry, high school doesn't really change all that much either. I am starting my last year of high school next year and there are still people who can't even spell their own name.

As for this garbage you're dealing with, I would contact the principal about it. I bet you anything that there is this really snobby girl or a group who are/is jealous of you. Just ignore it. Or, what you can do is the next time somebody comes up to you and tells you those mean words, just say, "Oh...really?" because that shows them that you are not affected by what they're saying. They'll also be confused because you are not reacting the way that they would expect you too.

Don't worry hun. Sometime in the future, when you are in a good career that pays big bucks, these kids will be begging to wash your car for a living.

I've been going through the same thing. My friends and I are not very popular. And so the kids make fun of us. We are kind and courageous but sometimes ppl dont understand. They will walk up to me and be like "ewwww! Kendall!" You should talk to a teacher, parent or guardian about this. adults can always stop kids from being jerks. Don't listen to them. You seem like a great person to me. MIddle School is the toughest of all, so don't let it take control. You are the winner of this race.
Good luck!!!!!! :)

Hi! I'm your age and goin' to high school too. I have been through the same stuff as you in the past.
Stand up for yourself when people say that stuff to you. Or you could ignore them. Just don't show them that you are hurt or bothered by it-that's what motivates them to keep bothering you. If it gets worse, you could always report them to a teacher or counselor b/c that is considered harrassment.
I think some people will be grown up some in high school but I'm pretty sure that there will be immature people over there too. Just don't put up with people acting like that (and stand up for yourself, ignore them or report them if they don't stop) and also don't believe what they say!

'Hope I helped!

Answer 5

Im 14 too! And this has happened to me. I've had super preps come uyp to my face (im just average in social standards, and I like it that way.) and go "Hey Ugly." I think they just need to gorw up, because theyre threatened by me, because (I dont mean to brag) but im quite pretty.It might be whats happening to you too! I just ignore it, theyre ugly on the inside, and that matters more. And I heard High School really isnt much better, only that people will change alot, both ways. So dont expect all the same people to be the popular jerks all of your life.

Answer 6

i am also in middle school and at my school we have a group of guys who act bad in class, say pervert-y stuff, and are just downright annoying. They make fun of everyone, not just specific people. I havent met the people who are making fun of you, so i dont know if this will be accurate, but what i think is that they will eventually grow out of it. Dont think that you and your friends are ugly or fat just because people are so bored witrh their own lives that they have to turment other peoples. And yes, try to ignore it. :]

Answer 7

This is the jerks way of feeling better of themselves
and ignore them if that's their opinion of you let them think
that cause you and your friends know that you guys are beautiful

the jerks are probably ugly!

that happened to me too but it stopped in one month
idk y they did it but it didnt bother me

and i'm barely going to 7th grade

Answer 9

People in school can be the meanest. They are the ones who have something wrong with them. You already know that though. Ignore them, don't answer them back it only gives fuel to their fire. Don't react or even look at them, then it won't be any fun for them anymore.

Answer 11

I went through this, but I'm goin into 8th this fall.
You can either go off at them saying, "Ya know what, how 'bout u just shut the fuc up! I look better than you! So, shut your face before I punch it!"
^^^ that's what I would do =]
Or you can just ignore, they mite stop if it shows it doesnt bother u.
