Come backs
I am usually very slow at verbal comebacks. People tend to take advantage of that. My so called friends.... the ones that are like "hi-hello" kind of friends... often would find ways.. to diss me kind of. they think it's funny how i flutter around searching for a way to think of a come back. At first I'd laugh it off but after a while it really gets on ur nerves. I really wanna think faster when it comes to comebacks because I often think of a better come back like after I get home and think it over. Teach me how to!!

Don't laugh it off. That will seem to them that you can handle it, that it's okay. It's not okay. There's probably no way to "teach" you how to give a good comeback, as it's all about practice and timing, but one way I would suggest would be to look up good insults (like from historical figures) on the internet and memorize a few that you think you can remember and use in many situations. That will help if you can't really think of anything original at the time. Also, you say you think of good comebacks when you get home - write them down! These people don't sound overly creative, so it's likely they'll recycle their disses, so you can use those comebacks again. And the best way to answer any diss if you're really hard-hit is a catchall phrase such as, "I won't even dignify that with a response" or "If you're so clever, why can't you fix that {insert one of their faults, such as ugly nose or failing geometry class} of yours" or my personal favorite, "My grandmother could come up with better". These will buy you some time if you're unable to think up one right away, but practice, practice, practice is the key. At home, imagine scenarios and think of what they might say and respond to them. Write down or memorize the ones you think are particularly good comebacks and you'll have a bunch ready whatever the occasion. Good luck!
