Every time I make friends with a guy, they treat me like a kid sister. I am teased so much! It's nothing offensive, just playful, but I don't know what to think.
Like if they look at my homework assignments, they pick on me for being too neat, or the way I write my 6's, or the way I talk. They have to say something about everything, I try to laugh it off, but it gets really old! I think we are friends, am I wrong?
Am I dealing with jerks, or am I just being too touchy? To be fair, this happens when we talk about anything, it drives me crazy!

i learned that when you are too touchy it makes them wanna to do it more and more, just like a bully. just show that it doesnt bother you (even though it does) and take it as a joke.
but, if it does become harrassment and becomes waaay to personal, then you need to say somethin.

if it will affect you just move on and live your life ignore them and maybe they'll get bored and stop try telling them that what they are doing is getting really old and your tired of them doing it
to you stand up for yourself :) [ sunshine1232's advice column | Ask sunshine1232 A Question ]

What I think you should do is not pay attention to the jokes anymore and maybe tell you're "friends" that their jokes are getting tired and they should find new ones...and maybe you should add a joke about them but make sure its funny (thats what I used to do) and they should chill after awhile. I hope this helps you.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask me :). [ Briea6624's advice column | Ask Briea6624 A Question ]
