"If you're going to talk to yoursef, at least do so when you're looking in a mirror. It makes you sound less crazy/retarded." is one of my favorite things to say when someone says something tp try to make me feel bad or make fun of me.
When someone cracks a stupid joke, I usually try to luagh, so they don't feel bad, unless it's about me, in which case i either say the above statement or something else. it all depends what the person says.
when i was in 4th grade, for picture day i wore this off-the-shoulder shirt, and my bra straps showed. this girl--who'd always given me problems--said i was a b**** and just trying to show off, so I told her, "yeah, your right. but at least I don't get my clothes from the circus."
She didn't get it at first.

I know you may be thinking, "I said I DIDN'T want to sound bitchy." but that doesn't sound bitchy, it sounds more...smart and quick to make clear that you're not going to take crap from anybody.
people actually may start to respect you, because you can stick up for yourself without violence but with a few simple words.

hope this helped.

good luck.

Being made fun of is no fun. But when you show signs if being hurt or like you want to cry, that just makes them feel like they accomplished what they wanted to accomplish and it will just continue. When someone says something mean(like you hair looks stupid) what to do is just roll your eyes and say 'Whatever'and walk away, like you didn't even acknowledge what they said and that you don't care. If you cant walk away (like if your in class or something)then ust turn the other direction and just ignore them. Seem confident, like what they sid didnt even bother you. I hope this helps you. :^)

I agree! The best way to make people feel stupid is to just walk away, look the other way, pretend like you don't even hear what they are saying or know they are even trying to make fun of you. Just ignore em. They want to provoke you and make you feel bad, just think of the positive things in your life, that they probably don't have. Don't let them get the best of you, always try to be the bigger person. Good luck, and hope they mature sooner lol

People who crack jokes on other people, Tease, or even make fun of others are just usually doing it because it makes them feel better or they think it makes them look good. The most popular reason people tend to pick on people is because they choose what they think is a "weak" target. They like someone who is going to show a reaction. If someone cracks a joke, teases you or makes fun of you the best thing you can do is walk away or ignore it. If you continue to walk away and ignore it eventually they will get tired of it because it will become pointless because you aren't showing a reaction and they will get bored and move on. It might not happen overnight but eventually they will stop. If you show a reaction they will only get what they want and do it even more.
