13/f. I have an incredibly embarassing first/full name. The girls and boys in school laugh when the teacher calls it out (I DEF. go by a nick name) and then they always call me by it, even though i have a nick name, to make me mad. and so they laugh even more. i know not to let them see that it bothers me, but it does so much. and its not just a simple long name, its so long and stupid and i dont know ANYONE else with it. I just feel so different becuase its always on my records and whatnot so i'm forced to use it when i dont want to, and of course poeple hear. what do i do?! im so upset and tired of it. (link)

Get it legally changed. I had a friend who did this at age 16, although I'm not sure when you can do it without your parents permission. Also when they call you the name- just look at whoevers doing it straight in the eye and say " I would prefer you not calling me that; I obviously don't go by that; I obviously don't care to be called by it; and I find what you're doing rude and disrespectful. Could you please call me "..." from now on? It would mean so much to me. And then give them your most charming smile!
