I'm made fun of at school for things I can't fix...
Question Posted Sunday November 18 2012, 8:50 pm
Guys will make fun of my large breast size and my height. Nobody likes to talk to me and girls laugh at my weight causing low self esteem and starvation. EVERYONE laughs at me for being black and having white friends. What do I do? I'm very shy and have a fear of standing up and talking for myself because of years of abuse. I try to laugh it off but at the end if the day it's so painful! I'm so sorry and I don't mean to complain. What can I do to get them to stop without everyone laughing at me. Thank you.

Own it girl, you need to ask them that say "wow you're making fun of my breasts I had no idea you weren't into girls". The only way they will stop these remarks is if you stand up for yourself I guarantee you if you do it once they will not bother you again. Being black and having white friends? That's damn racist and you need to tell them that, you have to be stern now or this will never end, they take advantage because they know that you will do nothing about it. Nobody will laugh at you for defending yourself, people will laugh at you because you laugh with them and you're laughing at yourself [ nikz's advice column | Ask nikz A Question ]

You can also include racial harassment because of the problems with you having white friends. In this day and age that is intolerable.
Your school should have a policy of zero tolerance on this. What you need to do is talk to one of your teachers, school principal and your parents. The school system have policies to stop this practice by students. It is up to the principal to enforce those policies.
Tell your parents and let them talk to the principal. Also tell a trusted teacher. Doing both will insure the school does what it is suppose to to protect you and your right to an education in safety and without harassment or bullying. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

You should try your best to ignore everyone, I know its hard, I get made fun of myself quiet often. I've been made fun of for being shy too, and people think i'm stuck up (I'm not, I just have my guard up around new people.) So just pray to the Lord about it, and he will help you. Feel e -mail me if you want to. Just remember, God loves you!
