im really sensitive at school...if some1 teases me, i take it so hard. then when they reply saying im so sensitive, i feel hurt...is there anything i can say to "my friends" if they insult me..like in a joking way?
Lizzy answered Thursday July 15 2004, 7:35 pm: The reason you probably feel so hurt is because you don't respond to their bullying. Say something equally back to them, like if they call you a loser, just say this (you might wanna practice) Oh yeah, well your a two-faced, wanna be barrymannalo, couvanist pig

Lol...then I got my first boyfriend and it just got worse. I just learned to deal with it. I remember thinking "They're just saying these things to make me feel bad because they're jealous" (Even if they weren't. I tricked my subconscious so I wouldn't cry, lol.)
Just tell them that it REALLY bothers you, and to stop. If they say "you're so sensitive!" tell them "yeah, I am, and it bothers me that you tease me so much, so I really want it to stop."
Just be really firm about it. Hope I helped!

marksbitch answered Thursday July 15 2004, 6:22 pm: When I was younger I was exactly how you are now; even the slightest comment would upset me. You may just be shy, in which case you could maybe try self-help videos or books to gain confidence. However, if you find yourself upset almost to the point of paranoia, you may have an anxiety disorder. These can lead to panic & anxiety attacks. If you think that you may have an anxiety disorder, speak to an parent, relative, or teacher about it. Otherwise, (I know it's cheesy) just look yourself in the mirror and say "My name is ____ and I am a good person, no matter what anyone says". It really does help :) [ marksbitch's advice column | Ask marksbitch A Question ]
katie315 answered Thursday July 15 2004, 6:11 pm: hey i am sry that ppl tease u. but really u need to be confident in ur self enough to where u can just laugh at it or blow it off. and if it is ur friends than tell them to cut it out. i mean they r ur friends and they should listen. and u could just STAND UP FOR URSELF!!! it is a hard thing to do at first but then it wont be a problem. u seem like the kind of person that is really really nice but u r kind of to nice. and if u said something to ur friends or to these ppl that tease u than im sure that they would back off b/c they would see that u arent going to let them do that.
*good luck*

Mackenzie answered Thursday July 15 2004, 6:06 pm: Yep; tell them. If they're good friends, they'll accept and understand the fact that it's upsetting you, and they'll stop. Make sure you get across how much it hurts you. Be firm, don't let them walk all over you; I'm sure you don't treat them like that. I do hope things work out. Goodluck.

Ashley answered Thursday July 15 2004, 5:45 pm: You need to stand up for yourself. Really you could talk to them and be like "even though thats a joke it kinda bothers me". They might stop! [ Ashley's advice column | Ask Ashley A Question ]
