I really need help...seems like no way to get out of this!

[Moai]

Okay so about a month ago I was telling a joke at lunch and while I was talking everybody got quiet and I got real nervous and I told the joke really badly. Now every two or so days this douche bag kid keeps bringing it up and everybody at the lunch table laughs at me. Now this stupid girl keeps bringing it up everyday and says how it never gets old and tells like everyone at school and its REALLY embarrassing! I have been told to go sit somewhere else but all my friends sit at that table and the only tables that aren't full are the ones with the nerds and geeks. Please help me! I don't know what to do it hasn't gone away and I feel like a laughing stock!

If your friends are really your friends then they wouldnt be telling you to sit else were. listen, this happens a lot in my school. Friends pick on whoever in there "circle" is most vulnerable and they know they wont say much. dont make yourself a target. speak up and tell them to get the hell over it. tell them it really isn't that serious and if they would just grow up and get over it than you all would be able to get on with your lives.

Sorry when I said that I have been told to sit somewhere else I meant that like my parents tell me to sit somewhere else.

If they were your true friends they wouldn't give you crap and they would move to a different table with you, your parents are trying to help you by saying this and they are correct, I would go and sit somewhere else mingle with new people, talk to others, find some new friends also while having lunch :)

The other thing to do is to talk to them say its getting old can we move on from it, to me they sound very immature you might have to tell them to grow up :)

You call them your friends when they aren't acting like friends at all. Friends are people who wouldn't tell someone to do something forcefully. Hell heres the definition for friend. "A person you know well and regard with affection and trust".

^^ What they said.

Also, what's wrong with tables full of 'nerds and geeks'? Be careful with those stereotypes. Think of how it makes you feel to get made fun of and laughed at. Don't pass that on to the 'nerds'.

I have two ideas here.

A. Find better friends. If they see it bugs you, and continue, screw that. Why would you be around people that are cruel to you?

B. Tell them to stop. If they don't, call it harassment and get their attention. If that doesn't get them to stop, go to the school nurse or counselor and make a complaint. This is along the lines of A. Shitty friends deserve the same shitty treatment that they treat you with.

-> Friends and Family, this isn't Abuse.

As I see it you can...

A. Beat the bitch up- I know it's harsh but someone that immature can only be communicated with in immature ways, of course you would be immature too by doing this

B. Ignore her and let her go hang, give no reaction if shes so immature as to act like that she'll get bored.

Of course the latter is the better option, bt I've found both to be effective.

Just ignore it, things like this happen all the time. And yes it's hard but someone else will make a mistake then everyone will forget all about your mistake.
Kid's are cruel.
If it bother's you so bad just go talk to the person bringing mit up, there's good in everyone.

one thing to try too (harder maybe) is to beat them to the punch, tell the joke again, and just as bad. sometimes kids can be cruel, and if they figure it does not bother you anymore, they might stop. you almost have to laugh at yourself. recognize that maybe you did fuck it up, but now turn that into a joke. so go along with it, laugh, and tell it yourself, i bet they will end up stopping sometime soon once they know it does not bother you, and move onto being cruel to someone else, or something else. kids can be dicks. good luck.
