Teasing

[Blablabla36489]

Hi,guys!

Today, I went out with my two friends, one of them is boy and the other is girl. When were in the shop, they told me to buy some girl things and so. After, they called my lord Flowers, which in one book series(GoT) means 'a bastard'. I'm 7th grade now and I know they are just kidding me because of my reaction and cause I'm nice and don't swear and so. In my class, they called me a pope and similar because I go to church, too. How should I make them stop and respect me more? It's hard to do 1:2 or even more. Please,help me! I want to be more respected!

Well youre just a good person, and many arent used to that, so yeah theyre gonna tease you. So just ignore them until they accept the fact you are more mature than they are, i had similiar problems because sometimes my friend points out im serious and quiet all the damn time and ever since i just ignored it he hasnt said one peep

They might just be teasing you a bit, but if you notice they're being more persistent, don't hesitate, just leave them, they don't deserve someone like you to be their friend.

To be honest they aren't acting like friends, leave them and find new one. Just because you dont swear or you go the church aren't reasons to make fun.

If it's only a little teasing it might be okay to go a long with it any try to laugh it off. That's what I usually do if my friends or family tease me. However, if they are making you uncomfortable (this has happened to me before), don't be afraid to tell them. If they really are good friends they should understand and back off. They might still tease you occasionally, but hopefully they'll try to be at least little more respectful.

Never apologoze for being the good person you are

I've learned that when friends tease you, it's their weird way of showing they like you. And I've noticed this has picked up more now that I'm a teen. On another forum there's two really good friends (boy and girl) that say terribly mean things to each other on chat teasing each other. So it's not a lack of respect. If they are really your friends. I'm learning not to take myself or stuff like that too seriously, but it's not always easy.

Teasing means I want you.

I would see how they interact with others. If teasing and whatnot are normal for them then it isn't really personal, if it's something they only do to you then maybe you have a problem. In the group of friends I run with the teasing can be very harsh so you either learn to deal or you crumble and give up.

The more attention you give to those nicknames the more they will be repeated.

The world is becoming increasingly secular (endless your from the Middle East :lol: ), you should get used to it. Don't let their insults get under your skin, and don't openly get offended by it. Otherwise, they just want it make fun of you more.
