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

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.

I used to get that a lot. They'd always make fun of something. Sad thing was they were things I had no control over. Chest size, buck teeth, then braces, my speech inpediment, anything really. I just accepted that I wasn't that great looking and anyone who didn't accept me like that wasn't my friend. Just be yourself. Even if it's stuff you can change. Only change if you want to change... never ever change for any other reason. You have to be comfortable with who you are and love yourself. Hopefully soon, others will come to accept you are who you are.

Don't even argue, and don't talk about other people.  Treat all people nicely, even the ones who are mean to you.\n\nFirst, treating people nicely will keep you out of trouble.  Second, it is no fun to bully someone if they won't get mad.  If you get mad, she will keep doing it.  If you don't, she will eventually feel foolish and stop, because it is not working.\n\nBottom line--be nice to everyone, even to her.  If you offer candy, offer her some.  If you play games, invite her to play.\n\nAny other solution will just lead to more trouble.  Even ignoring her won't make it go away, because she will see that it is bothering you, and you will eventually explode.

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!

Careful what you wish for....\n\nYou're better off just sticking to witty.  If you think well of most people around you, they'll end up thinking well of you.  If the "some people" are getting on your nerves, just chalk it up to them having a bad day - not you.\n\nRemember - you get back what you give out.  If you give out "cruel acid," that's that you'll reap in return.  Honestly, try just giving out friendly jokes instead.  You'll end up winning more friends, and being happier because of it.

Well, unless your friend thinks having you laugh at him is really funny......have him say, "Get lost, you stupid loser. I prefer friends who respect me instead of making fun of me." You'll be laughing...he'll be walking away.

Just remember that people who make fun of handicapped people are shallow and very weak spirited. Be the bigger person and keep your chin up and walk away. If you always try your best and never allow your handicap to stand in your way of following your dreams then you are a superior human being and you will go far in life. Just ignore those jerks and keep on being yourself!\n           Good luck

It is hard to deal with pressure from your "friends" believe me i've been there. my once "friend" talked about one of my other friends behind her back because she didnt have a BF so we made one up for her and it backfired in our faces and then they made fun of her even more. the best thing to do is tell your friend you are tired of her comments, and if she doesnt stop then try not talking to her or not getting upset when she says these things. usually people will stop joking if they know it doesnt bother you. The main thing is to NOT make up a BF it will backfire. \nHope i helped!

Simply ignore such rude, crude and shallow people!  Do not allow them to embarrass or harass you; their complaint is their problem, not yours.  Frankly, such people have far too much time on their hands and are too d*a*m lazy to find something constructive to do, so they get their cheap, tawdry, tasteless little thrills by trying to bug others.  Next time one of them complains, look 'em right in the eye and say "Yeah? Deal with it!" and then just ignore them.

Tell them you don't like it. BUT if they don't listen ignore it because some teenage girls are just silly and if they know someone doesn't like something they think it's funny and they keep saying it. Boys can be just as bad. \n\nYou cannot change people, you can only change yourself and your attitude towards things ( I'm not saying you have a bad attitude by any means) ;)\n\nHang in there, bite the bullet. Maybe what it will take is to ignore them they will EVENTUALLY STOP! It may require patience on your behalf :P\n\nGood luck to 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.

Are you serious with this question?  I think there should be a much better use of your time then wondering the best way to insult others.  Try smiling and a positive attitude and then maybe you won't have any use for the insults.  Count to 10 and then count your blessings.  Have a great day!
