ChEEtAh_X_gRL answered Monday March 28 2005, 8:47 pm: this isnt what you want to hear but like if your not made fun of one thing youll be made fun of another. try to ignore it. stand up for your self.... tell them to stop or just make fun of them back.
squirrell answered Monday March 28 2005, 7:09 pm: Did you ever think that they might be jelous because of your good grades? So next time just look them straight in the eye and say thank you then walk away. They will get sick of hearing the same response and stop bugging you. I may only be 13 but I had the same problem and it worked for me. Please rate. I love feedback good or bad so please help me out. [ squirrell's advice column | Ask squirrell A Question ]
Peachgirly answered Monday March 28 2005, 11:39 am: I think that they do that to you because they are jealous and have nothing better to do or they are just born jerks. you shouldn't listen to what they say and ignore it. Or you can stand up for yourself showing that you don't care at all and that you are strong. you can tell a guidance counseler,teacher or someone close to you about this. xoxo peachgirly [ Peachgirly's advice column | Ask Peachgirly A Question ]
karenR answered Monday March 28 2005, 11:30 am: It's hard to get people to shut up once they get started like this.I feel bad for you but, other than to say ignore them and don't let them know it bothers you I'm not sure what can be done.
The smarter ones will grow out of it.I know that doesn't help. Talk to your parents. Maybe it would be possible for you to go to a different school or something. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
jcpennypanties answered Monday March 28 2005, 10:57 am: There are alot of mean people in this world, (Im one of those mean people) It sucks to be made fun of, and if you dont do anything to those people to cause them to call you names. More than likely they are just jealous,they might be jealous of your good grades, or just the way you are nice person.Theres no way to really stop kids from doing this, I mean you could tell the principal or dean or someone to talk to them and tell them to cut it out. But your 14 years old being a tattle tell aint really something you should be. Just next time one of them say something to you, be like listen Im so sorry that you dont feel good enough about your self so you have to talk about me to make yourself feel better. Let them know that they dont bother you (even if they really do) Because if you let them know they dont have any effect on your life ..sooner or later they will cut it out. Dealing with it personally to yourself tho, just know that you are a good person. And when they call you names just be sure to tell yourself they only want to be you.Trust me those kids have just as much of a hard time as you do in life. They all suffer from something just not everyone knows. [ jcpennypanties's advice column | Ask jcpennypanties A Question ]
sweetjewel answered Monday March 28 2005, 10:38 am: people do mean things for tons of reasons, but it doesnt mean its true. you just have to learn to ignore them or talk to a teacher or counslor [ sweetjewel's advice column | Ask sweetjewel A Question ]

aeromonkey answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:32 am: People are always going to say stuff, but it would help if you had a girlfriend.. ok that's a little shallow, but if you do decide to get one, make sure she loves you back and doesn't think you're gay and just said yes to say yes. There are some out there that don't think you're gay... you have to find them and make friends with them. I know how you feel..I get called a lesbo sometimes because i have no boyfriend.
That's what is wrong with our society today. They judge if people are gay by their hair, speech, or dress, and don't get to know the real you. Just , don't change yourself to fit in. Then it really will be worse.. for that special someone who love you for who you are. [ aeromonkey's advice column | Ask aeromonkey A Question ]
chaos answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:09 am: Ignore those idiots and take over the world with the benefits that come from your good grades. Then when they come groveling to you for a job, you get to decide their fate. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

ShYbl0nD3 answered Monday March 28 2005, 3:30 am: Well they are probably jelouce that you make better grades then them and that you are secure with yourself un like them. But the best thing to do is just ignore it. Think on the positive side about it or talk your self into it as like they're saying, that you're better than them.
Its worked for me!
good luck! [ ShYbl0nD3's advice column | Ask ShYbl0nD3 A Question ]
freun989 answered Monday March 28 2005, 3:25 am: Mainly because people are jealous of you. Think about it this way, while you're making good grades they're slacking off making fun of others. You are preparing for your future and planning ahead for a good career. One day they'll come crawling to you for a job saying stuff like "Hey remember me?" Thats when you can show them the door.

sp4rklingr4in answered Monday March 28 2005, 2:45 am: People are just mean sometimes. They could just be kidding, but it's still pretty mean of them. I'd advise to just ignore them. Their meanness will come back to them in the long run. [ sp4rklingr4in's advice column | Ask sp4rklingr4in A Question ]
Sherry answered Monday March 28 2005, 2:23 am: People are cruel. Thats all there is to it. No matter how much you changed or whatever, people would still be cruel. This world wants perfection and its not even possible, so they make fun of you. They also make fun of you to hide their own feelings because their probably made fun of to. Dont feel terrible, just smile and tell them to f*off. Pretty soon they'll see you wont care that your talking crap and they'll stop. Your better than them, no matter what anyone says or you say. I totally understand how you feel though...if you wanna talk leave one in my inbox or aim me at ilinerobsession ! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
Asc answered Monday March 28 2005, 2:19 am: Fascinatingly enough, when one mocks another they reveal their own fears. Well, all that means is that the gay-callers are afraid of being gay, but it's kind of neat.
On a more relevant note, once I realised that nobody had a good reason to taunt me and that therefore those who did were idiots and could safely be ignored, I stopped caring so much. Mind you, I now, ah, exhibit antisocial tendencies, and I'm very much not a good person, so that might not be the way to go.
On the plus side, you're on the downhill now, kind of. Once you get to college it'll mostly (or completely) stop. And if you can get into the running start program*, you can go to a community or technical college for the last two years of high school. Look into that.
therocketsummer answered Monday March 28 2005, 1:26 am: People pick on other people for pleasure.. it might be because of their insecurities.. DOn't take any offence to it. It will go away with time, the more you take notice to it, the more they will do it. [ therocketsummer's advice column | Ask therocketsummer A Question ]
