okay i have these friends that i love todeath when they are not teasing me. but alot of people i know say i should find new friends cause they treat me bad. like they are always picking on me and it makes me mad. well not mad but it hurts my feelings and i dont know how to show my feelings and they think i am mad at them. i have asked them to stop but they wont. i just dont understand. do you constantly make fun of your bestfriend and make them feel like crap/an idiot? i mean i know friends tease each other but enough is enough right? am i acting rediculous?

summerGIRL_xo answered Saturday March 24 2007, 11:24 pm: it depends on the extent of their teasing. if it's just joking around teasing like if you say something blonde and they're like, "haha youre so stupid" then it's ok. however, it seems like what youre saying, tehy're hurting your feelings. thats not ok. if what they say really IS mean, they may be covering it up as a joke so they can say it. in other words, they probably want to say something mean, but to play "innocent", they'll say "oh we were just joking". if it is constant, cold-hearted teasing that singles you out and hurts your feelings or makes you feel uncomfortable, they need to stop. you should talk to them about it (maybe they dont realize its hurting you). if, after you talk to them, they don't stop, then they are not your best friends. that's just mean. anyways good luck[: [ summerGIRL_xo's advice column | Ask summerGIRL_xo A Question ]
