You are a courageous young lady!  The people who taunt and laugh at you are not worth your salt!  If you continue to work on your condition, you will in time draw yourself to friends who will help you grow,  not destroy you.  \n\nYou are able to know what you want in life, do something useful with your talents, gifts.  Focus on those things that build you up.  As far as you can, speak to someone safe about those hurts you get from insensitive people.  Remember, these friends will also go on to hurt even their own group, in other ways.  Just bc you are one of few who have this problem, you seem to be singled out for bully.  \n\nActually, if they say, "nikki, you look anorexic", you can admit and say, "well, actually, I am bulimic", in a firm tone, withuot smiling.  You mean what you say.  Listen to their 'jokes' about you, only their tones make it sound hurting.  But you are really being helped to grow out from it, if you are able to 'read' it for its healing tone.  But dont ever look to them like you are agreeing with their insults.  Look serious enough to send the message that yeah, you know they know you have a prob, but, that they don't know you are working on helping yourself get out from under it!  \n\nYou will really confuse them, bc their intention is meant to embarass you,  but you will only hear the challenge part, not the bully part. \n\nI'm all for your growth from this ailment.  I hope you will learn healthy habits, even from listening to those who seemingly want to hurt you.  Listen only for the part that will spur you on to climb over your obstacles, not get run down.  \n\nGo for it, girl!!  Yeah!

Be who you are.  Learn to let it slide off you.  When someone insults you, either don't answer at all, or shrug like so what.  You don't have to make excuses for who you are, or feel bad about it.

Perhaps you could make jokes when kids make fun of you in order to deflect the attention. Something like: "Ya, it's my evil twin." I think things that stand out and make us different actually add character and it make us who we are. People whom make fun of others are the ones who are less than perfect and they're the ones with the problem not you. Though I can't answer your question on how to remove your bump I do wish you all the best in finding your answer. A big hug to you.

Pay a big kid 10 dollars to scare this punk away.\n\nKids like that will cause trouble in many ways, but all bullies act that way because they themselves feel weak.\nThey are too concerned with their image, and feel threatened because they KNOW they're weak inside.\nJust stand your ground, but DONT give in to his harassing.  Tell your friends the same.

My friend, it is all in a mind set.  Why not just smile to them and laugh inside because you have the ability to understand why they did it. They see something in you that they do not have and thus they are trying to bring you down to their level. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!\n\nIf you know such is not true, you know they are the ones with the problem and not you. Do rejoice in that and let that thought put you in the position that you really do feel sorry for them because they can not even see their failure. However you can see it clearly.\n\nLook to the simple things. An ant will always come if it finds food, but if no food is found it will stop coming. If you just smile and ignore these people, eventually they will first quit because you do not react. Next they may want to be your friend to learn your secret. Then at that time you will be in control because you will now be their teacher ha ha.\n\nSee my friend there is magic in patience and much can be gained in a little wisdom. So take care, smile a lot, even laugh but in good taste and enjoy life. You only have now to do it so enjoy it now. So have a great day OK.

You should confront him and ask him who he thinks he is to act\nin such an egotistical manner. I know exactly what your talking about, you ask them a simple question and they get insulted\n(excuse me, who's body is this we are talking about) and if you\ndare suggest anything not blessed by them they brush you off\nand walk away. I think it's time they grow up and realize they put\non more show than they have value.

Do something and increase your self confidence.When talking don't too fast take your time and let the words come out.Those who laugh at you aren't worthy of being called friends.I know I had this problem too,still have it but not so evident.Hope this helps.

I just moved to 7th grade. 6th grade was hell... nobody really paid much attention to you. I think you should try talking and making jokes to older people. VERY IMPORTANT: NEVER MAKE THE MISTAKE TO THINK THEY'RE LAUGHING AT YOU JOKE, WHEN ACTUALLY THE ARE LAUGHING AT YOU.\n*oh, other thing, if you kiss some one, (popular) your status will go up. =)\nhope it helped

If the people are anything like MojoMan at the top I would just ignore them, yours is a very serious question, and making fun of people is a form of bullying (he looks a bit of a bully from his pic btw)\n\nA lot depends on the sort of 'making fun', somethings we can't change about ourselves, our parents, where we come from, how we look (excluding plastic surgery),  If it is something you can change however, and it is something you yourself are unhappy with, then make an effort to change it, get your friends and parents help.\n\nIf it is the way you behave, are very quiet, shy, have weird ideas, very intelligent, not so clever, then it is a matter of just making some friends, try to get peoples respect, help someone out when they are in trouble, be more outgoing.\n\nPS. it is hard to hurt someone who does nice things for you (you don't need to win them all once you have a few the rest will leave you alone, bullies only go for easy targets)\n\nOnly do what you are comfortable with tho'\n\nThere are many ways to achieve goals like this, sometimes you may need advice to get you started, if you are still at school try talking to a teacher about it or a school councilor, same goes for college.\n\nRemember it's not your fault, the fault lies with the bullies!\n\nAs a child I was made fun of because I had wierd thoughts, personally I liked the feeling this gave me, it made me different and unique, they were just a bunch of fashion following sheep :)\n\nIt's all in the way you look at it :)\n\nBe happy in yourself is the most important advice I can give you

I'm only 13 but i go to school with a couple of people who i hate as much as they hate me. they make-fun of people(teachers) and blame it all on me. the so called "nurses" that work with you are probably just jealous of the people they make fun of and you. I advise you to just smile and ignore them. if they make a rude and or inappropriate comment about anyone just walk away. but if this comment is about you say " at least i don't get my fun making-fun of the people who i am jealous about." and by the way i can tell that you are a very smart person by not joining them and keeping your personality alive.

Honestly, there's not much you can do. You can try to talk to a guidance counselor or teacher, and that might help. The only thing that worked for me when I was in school was ignoring the crap that was said. There was this one girl who bullied me for years and we would consequently bad-mouth each other. Finally, I just quit saying anything about her and let her talk all the trash she wanted to. Our mutual friends realized after a while that she was the one causing all the drama and so even though she was still talking trash about me, our friends just tuned her out when she would do that. And it made me look like the better person. (which, of course, I am... ;) )

be the first one to laugh. it takes everyone else's embarassment about the situation away, and you come off seeming more self-confident. Plus. now they're laughing with you and not at you.

Move around in groups.  Stick with close friends.  I was teased and picked on alot in junior high school.  One day I just decided to ignore them.  And, you know what?  From that point on, I didn't notice whether they made fun of me or not.  I just went about my business, and chilled with my friends.\nPhysical bullying is a another story.  You will need the intervention of an adult, if that is the case.

Stay away from them and don't lower yourself to their level.  Choose your freinds carefully as people tend to judge you based on who you choose to associate with.  why waste your time on these people?

first calm down. 2nd apologize..and explain that whatever it is you meant was taken the wrong way. If they are really your friends they will hear you out.\nxoxo
