Treat them the way they act.

Do not rise to the bait, they want a reaction from you, don't give them it. Ignore them. I have to deal with three girls who try to intimidate me everyday but i have never risen to their antics so they have not been able to take it much further

Here are your options.\nMake fun of them for something about them\nIgnore them.\nDon't be friends with them.\nTell them it's rude what they are doing, it's in your family tradition to not remove body hair and so they are insulting you and your ancestors.\nMake friends who like you for who you are.\n\n\nBTW. How do they know you have a hairy VAGINA? Are you showing it to people???\nYou are at an age that no matter what you do someone will make fun of you. This will probably be the most judgmental time of your life. \nAll teens are like that, it's a time during human development that tries to force individuals to conform to rules and social standards, those who do not conform are rejected and are ridiculed. \nThe joke is that no one conforms 100% and some of the best and most interesting people you will ever know conform the least.\nDon't shave or wax it, just be 14, you never will be again. So forget these people, you won't know them in a few years anyways, and be an individual unto yourself.

put them on the spot and ask them why they feel you are ignorant. maybe there is something you are missing. then again maybe by their answer they will show that they are the ones missing something! either way if their behavior continues find new friends. have enough respect for yourself to not allow others to treat you that way!

How can you stop them? They are of age, Right?

IGNORE IT! EVENTUALLY THEY'LL STOP. THEY WILL REALIZE HOW SMARTER YOU ARE AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT! GOOD LUCK!

Just say "That wasn't nice." when they say something harsh. Maybe they don't realize it.\n\nOtherwise, get new friends.

You are being the better person by not bragging.  I know your age is hard.  My daughter is probably close to your age (she's 12 and I apologize if I didn't get even close to your age) but she is very mature for 12 and there are kids that annoy her to the point that she doesn't even want to be friends but I think she needs to learn how to be tolerable.\n\nNo one person is perfect ever so knowing this we must tolerate the differences in one another.  You know that you are a smart girl but at the same time you don't have to broadcast it because you're afraid people won't like you if you're not...that already makes you the better person.\n\nFeel good about yourself that you don't have to broadcast your strengths because you believe in your abilities and don't rely on that alone.\n\nI don't know if I helped any but you asked a really great question and I wish I would have had a forum like this to go to when I was your age.\n\nBest of luck to you.\n\n~~Theresa

Hi, I'm 26 years old and currently in my freshman year of college. I definitely know how you feel; all throughout school I was not a very outgoing person. I usually kept to myself, at the same time I  tried to impress my peers. Now I realize how immature it was to act that way. You should never look down on yourself in any kind of way. It is important for everyone to feel they belong, and you seem to doubt yourself. The thing is, other people are just like you, they will not approach anyone and end up never making any friends. Be bold and walk up to the other guy like you and talk to them. They are just wanting someone to break the ice. My advice usually ends up being religious, but I do not feel like I should preach to you. One thing I will tell you is, turn to the Lord and he will never leave you. He will always be there giving you comfort, and the the great feeling that you belong. I never feel alone because I'm not. Just realize that people all throughout life will try to hurt you to make themselves feel better. You control your own life....make the best of it....live life to the fullest. Talking to an older person is great because they are wise and can give you some of the best suggestions. Hope this helps

No, you're not getting old.  They need slapped across their smart little faces.  Know how I know?  I was the same way, and I attribute it to little or no discipline  :-)

I've been where you are and i'm telling you...be strong!  Stand up to her without getting down to her level...don't get mad or upset...smile in her face and tell her you are comfortable enough with yourself that you don't need to find fault in others to find what's good in you!  This is hard at your age, I know!  The more you fight with her, and the more you react to her the more she will dish it out to you.  Be strong, be yourself and don't worry about what people think of you because you can't, YOU CAN'T make everyone happy!

avoid them and hang around with better people (thoses who are you friends no questions asked). also stop letting them use you can also be attempted so that they will get the hint and get lost.

Oh God, don't you hate it when people tell you to be yourself? Like its that easy. Its not. Listen sweetie, every one on the face of this earth is a judgemental and critical jerk whether we care to accept it or not. Unfortunately, young adults at your age are at the height of their critical behavior. God forbid you missed the latest episode of whatever popular show you like( OC?), you're excluded from the conversation. If your parents don't have $600 for a louis viutton bag, you are called a loser. Dont do what people tell you to do. the last thing you need is advice from some stupid girl at Lindero who sucked dick to become popular. Or smoke cigarettes, weed, drink beer, etc. I once knew this very smart girl who wanted to fit in but she did just that. Instead of just going to school to learn, she followed other people's advise. She ended up having a baby after high school and she works at Home Depot now. All of her so called friends who gave her advice all went to college. And they weren't smart. The girl with the baby went to spelling bee finals in washington almost every year. SHe even got skipped from 5th to 6th grade one year. No kidding. Please just try to make 2 or 3 very close frieds and stick together so no one messes with you guys. More than that and you will turn on each other and take sides. Beware of boyfriends if you have a hard time finding good girlfriends. Guys prey on lonely girls, even at my age(21).

Well, you probably act like an adult.  People your age tend to not like when people do that.  It's because they don't think on the same level that you do.\n\nJunior high sucks, it's true.  You just have to push through it.  People do get more mature and they stop making such a big deal about you being wise beyond your years.  Just hang in there.
