I know it sucks to be teased because of your body shape, and I really wish I knew a way to get people to stop making cruel comments about things that are genetically determined. No one thinks it's ok to make fun of someone because of the type of hair they have; it should be equally unacceptable to make fun of people due to the frame of their bones or the places their body prefers to store fat.
Unfortunately, you can't loose fat just on one part of your body. Exercise will help you loose fat in general. If your a bit heavy anyway, that might produce the best results. If your on the thin side except for your butt, be careful that you don't become underweight trying to loose your butt.
You can tone specific muscles, and that does have a noticeable effect on appearance. Your butt muscles are the gluteus maximus, minimus, and medius, or "the glutes". The exercises suggested by other columnists are pretty common for toning the glutes.

i dont think you should be embarrassed that you have a big butt because most women in south america have surgery to make their butts bigger. and havent you ever heard of the song, "i like big butts" by sir mixalot? big butts and big boobs are very attractive if the rest of your body is small and skinny. but if that's not the case, then.. riding on a bike and toning your butt will help you the best.
if you have cable, there's a fitness channel, like 70-90, not sure which channel, but it;'ll probably help you out with your problem a bunch. [ azngemini's advice column | Ask azngemini A Question ]
Karen answered Tuesday February 1 2005, 6:57 pm: You can do squats and lunges, since they tone your butt. Running or walking actually help tone your butt. Go to this link to find more "butt exercises": exercise.about.com/cs/exerciseworkouts/tp/butt.htm. Hope I helped :)
