Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I know this sounds typical, but act like it doesn't bother you. I'm really white too, and when they would call me a ghost, i would just laugh it off and be like "yep sure am." after a while it was boring for them because obviously i didn't care. i know you think it won't work, but i rarely get made fun of anymore.

There is nothing wrong with being really white. I can assure you.
Frankly, being laughed at when you are different is a very common thing. Especially in highschool. And sometimes even in society where adults rule. So don't worry about it.
There could be several reasons why people make fun of others:
1. They are just too naive to know the difference/ understand why some people are just different.
2. To cover up the fact that they are different too. Look, to them, you look different. But hey, to you, they look different too. It's just that they are considered "normal" because there is a majority of the same kind around.
3. They haven't learn the valueable lesson of respect.
Don't worry too much about it. It is something that will wear out in time.
What you can do:
1. Ignore them
2. If talking to your teacher doesn't help. Talk to your parents and ask them for their opinion. I am sure they understand your plight and will guide you through.
3. Meanwhile, you can forget about fitting and being on of them. In actual fact, EVERYONE is different!! No two people are exactly the same. Therefore every individual is UNIQUE.
4. Look for qualities that are in you. You may be good at a lot of things. Encourage yourself to achieve something through your interests. You could be a great athlete, run your heart out. Indulge in something that you can achieve in.
Good luck!!!

i feel your pain i'm a flat chested skinny pale girl with freckles.. haha, but i've become confident with myself and i have plenty of friends who respect me and what i look like.. i'm not ugly or anything it's just everyone is tan and big chested.. i'm different.. you're different.. skin is skin and you WILL have the last laugh when you're older and still have beautiful healthy skin. What i do when people say crap is something like "eh yea i'm irish.. it happens" and say it like it doesn't bother me, soon it really is true.. it doesn't bother me anymore that i'm white, i've realized that i don't want to risk it tanning
plus God gave me this skin so i should love it, hope that helped good luck!
ps: look at how many celebrities have light skin? i swear it's becoming some sort of fashion... it sounds stupid but i really do believe that someday people will want light skin because it'll be 'cool'.. it used to be and fashion trends go in circles? there's hope = )

hey! first of all, it's april so there is nothing wrong with being really white! second of all, they can make fun of you now, but in a couple of years when you have smooth, wrinkle free skin, and their skin looks like tough, wrinkly leather, you will have the last laugh.
But seriously, in my 20 years of living i've learned that people only make fun of others in order to make themselves feel better about their imperfections. They want to see that you are bothered by their comments, and they want to see you get mad, because that makes them feel better than you... it makes them feel like they have the power and you don't!
So, this is easy! Just ignore them and pretend like you can't hear them, and like their comments mean absolutely nothing to you! They will get mad because then they will see that you, and not them, are the ones in control who have all the power. So sit back, pretend like they don't exist and have the last laugh. I guarantee you that they will stop doing it before you know it! :)

well when someone starts to make fun of me i just start laughing with them. sometimes the main reason people make fun of others is because they know it hurts you. If you show that it bothers you their just gonna keep on doing it.

The only way to make people stop bugging you about something is to take it like a compliment or just ignore that person.
I know it's really hard not to react to this kind of behavior, but when they make fun of you, that is exactly what they want. They want you to be hurt and react to it.
Or, you can say something kind of clever and funny, like, "Pale is the new tan", Even though that isn't true, it's pretty funny to throw the opposite at people, and they'll eventually get over themselves.

If they are gonna make fun of you because you are white, or pale skinned, then they need to get a life. Try ignoring them. I'm pretty much having the same problem having to ignore people and its not that easy. Just keep telling yourself that they are being heartless nad immature.
