She's always making fun of me!
Okay, so one of my friends, lets call her Jamie, is always making fun of my dislexia (and for those of you who dont know, dislexia is a learning disability that, for me, pervents me from reading and writing well).
She always laughs at me when I miss spell a easy word, or cant read a easy word. I also studder when I talk, which she makes fun of.
When i try to defend myself and bring up the fact that im getting strate A's, she brings up the fact that i can only write at a 4th grade level and have to type everything because my handwriting is unreadable.
Anytime i tell her to stop, she tells me to relax and that its just a joke. What should i do?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Just know that nobodys perfect , it wont change anything but maybe it changes your feelings . She's is not the queen to laugh at you . Maybe she also has something bad , a funny secret that you may know or figure out . If you know something funny about her , just laugh at her but if your not that kind of girl just ignore her i'm sure you have friends whome really dont care about how u read or spell

Talk to her privately and tell her it's not just a joke to you. It really hurts and it's not nice.
Tell her that friends have to respect eachothers opinion and not hurt eachother, even when they think it's not big deal. It IS a big deal to you, so she needs to stop.
Be calm, be straightforward and be honest. Once you express yourself to her privately, instead of in a group where she feels like she needs to defend herself, she should stop.
If she doesn't stop after that, then you might want to consider not calling her a friend.

Try talking to her one more time about how it hurts you that she makes fun of you. She may think it's only a joke, but it's become a problem with you. You can't control your dyslexia, and the fact that she's willing to make fun of you for that just shows her immaturity. If after you talk to her, and she still continues her stupid jokes, I wouldn't hesitate to find a new friend, because Jamie isn't acting like a very good friend of yours. Sure, friends pick at each other a bit, but not at things like dyslexia.

well, 'Jamie' should really understand your problem rather then making jokes about it and bhurting your feelings. confront her and try to say something like, 'it really hurts me when you make fun of my disabiliy. and even though you think it's a joke and dont mean to hurt me, it still does. can you please stop?' something like that
hope i helped and good luck

She should be lifting you up and showing how much she supports you. Have a talk with her in a serious setting and let her know that the teasing becomes hurtful. If she can't seem to stop, then it's best to leave her. You don't need to have her in your company if she can't treat you any better.

ok so you called her your friend.
it sure doesn't seem like shes a good one.
get serious when you talk to her about it
and stay strong cuz if u don't then she will
keep making fun of you.

Hi!!!!
The thing i noticed about your question is that you called her a "friend"...
well she's not no friend would make fun of another friend the just wouldn't it's mean...
specially in something like that i know it must hurt you a lot... so you really should talk to her and if she continues well stay away from her... cause with friends like that who would want enemies?
anyways hope i helped, feel free to inbox me

Honestly, you shouldn't be her friend. She is a negative person and does not care about your feelings. Friends are supposed to bring out the best in you, however, she just makes you feel terrible about yourself.
Does she really seem like a great friend?
Didn't think so.

Talk to her about the way her teasing makes you feel. And if you ask me, that does not sound like a good friend.
