Why do people pick on people?
Just like chickens will peck to death a chick that seems slow or different. It's a sort of winnowing process, to pick out the strongest. Those who survive the test go on to live. Those who are weaker fail and are removed from the gene pool. Tell your little brother that they are challenges - but the only way he can beat the challenges is by not letting them bother him. Tell him it's ok to walk away - but as long as he doesn't let them see him get upset - or even if he laughs at them, he wins. You can work with him and practice snappy comebacks that will make people laugh without making them mad - you don't want some dumb kid punching him because he doesn't get the joke.
Did people pick on you at school?
I am in high school, and I got, and sometimes still do get, picked on. Most people are taking about races, which is a big problem in today's society. Im not denying that. But what I am saying, is that people pick on others for almost anything they can possibly tease and bully about. I got bullied because I was tall, shy, autistic, bad teeth, weird bookbag, etc. Now, being a sophomore in high school and moving 7 times since kindergarten (and me recently moving), I get picked on because of my shyness, voice, and awkwardness, if people even knew who I was. I think out of my whole education life so far, the only time i never got bullied was when i was at one school for most of my eigth grade year. Being bullied for something you cant help, especially with having a rough life in your family, is silly. No excuses for the bullies out there who have SOME reason on why you do it, that 'i didnt know i hurt them', 'i didnt know it was bullying', or 'I have a rough time at home' (which people sometimes say as fake because they get sympathy) or some other nonsense people pull up. Nobody knows what others go through or how they take it. What do they get out of it? Pride? Attention from other people? You are hurting lots of people just for your own silly, personal reasons. I know this is what other people say, and you are like "They dont know. Everybody says that. "But it is true. I have two scars to prove it. Its a nasty thing, and it needs to stop. Bullies out there, just think to yourself- "Why exactly do I do this?" Because I guarantee it, its either for your own personal benefit, or for no reason at all. It sad that that's the world that we have today.
Why do I cry when people pick on me?
Ever since I was a kid when people picked on me or tried to fight me I would be really afraid and cry and hide and get upset. No one ever tried to get me help for it. They just made fun of me for it even my parents. I'm 21 and I'm still like this and people still make fun of me for it including my parents. Why do my parents make fun of me for this instead of helping me or getting me help? I don't know what to do about it. It's embarrassing and hard to deal with.
Why do people pick on shy / quiet people?
im a shy and quiet person and i been picked on badly since i was 7, and it effected my self esteem since. like when i was in the 1st grade, this girl would always call me ugly, ever since then, i just didnt like the way i look and i dont look in the mirror at all today. im 17/18 and im still having low self esteem. im not ugly, but i feel like a alien. and sometimes i feel like a monster, idk why. im really a nice person, but a lot of people think im mean just because im quiet, thats why i choose to alienate myself from society because people treat me like an alien, and it freaks me out.
Why do people pick on me for no reason?
I have found myself constantly in the same situation. It seems that people nowadays are almost groomed from birth to be self-serving rather than nonjudgemental. However many times that it does happen, and it will continue, never lose faith that there are good people. Next time it happens, immediately....yet humbly, ask the person what they meant by the particular look or comment. When you do, look them square in the eyes, (try to blink as little as possible, hee, hee) and wait for their response. If they play dumb then simply make a remark along the lines of you perhaps being a wierdo, self-conscious, etc.. Cutely laugh off the awkwardness that is now present to (on them:)! 95% of the time this person will fakely laugh it off, then perhaps even (again, fakely) compliment you....then change the topic. I know it is hard at first, but give it a whirl, and soon your consistent eye contact will start to weed out these horrible souls/people. Enjoy life my dear, as beautiful things such as sunsets, flowers and kind people are worth it!! :) K
Why do people pick me to talk to in public?
I’m a 28 year old female who is always a target for strangers who ask me for directions or for change to get on the bus or train. I always turn people down. People always say good morning to me when I’m walking. I hate when strangers talk to me. I always have to wear headphones and listen to loud music so I can ignore the people who attempt to speak to me. If someone tries to talk to me,, I will walk past them and ignore them. Why do people pick ME to talk to and how do I get them to stop??
How should I react to people who pick on me? I am really, really obese. How should I react to people who mock me, and how can I think of quick comebacks?
Think of bullies as beasts - if you feed the beast you satiate them, and then they come back for more. How you handle them is a personal favorite, you take a breath, tip your chin down a bit towards your chest, and just glare at them, look at them for a good long while, then take another breath and then go on doing your work. That's "the look" - it's a look that shows how tedious you find their behavior. Every mother knows that one, every wife, every teacher. You are giving them "the look" with no other reaction at all, just staring at them with your head down - it's the perfect response as it implies disdain for what they are doing as well as a disbelief. And make it a deep breath you take, make them see that, a deep breath is something a person takes when they need patience, we all know that reaction from when we were kids, so they'll know it, and should back off quickly.A bit of advice - they hooked you and you played right into their game. Don't play, keep yourself steady, think of yourself as a tree that has deep roots and won't be blown over by the wind fluttering out of bullies' mouths.
Why do people pick on me for no reason?
Everything has a reason. You are seeking that reason, based on your question. That’s good. Without more information I can’t answer why you’re picked on unfairly or even if you are picked on more than other people. But what I can say is that you do not have to take it.Don’t be a victim. If someone’s picking on you they’re looking for one of a few things: either to get a reaction out of you, in which case not getting upset is you winning. Or they want to look cool in front of their friends - in which case them looking like a jerk, or a wimp, is you winning. I wish I could be more help but my best advice is to keep a cool head and enjoy your life and situation as best you can so you don’t have to be affected by some jerk.
Why Do People Pick On Me For No Good Reason?
I've always been picked on my whole life, ever since pre-school. Sure I have some friends, some of whom actually don't understand why people are so rude to me, but I really don't understand why people pick on me. Certain people I can understand, it's quite obvious. I don't mean to sound egotistic but I don't think I'm unnattractive, and I try so hard to be kind to everyone. However, it's always been people in my age group that I have a hard time w/. It seems that people who are older, sometimes even just by a couple years, I never have problems w/, and same thing goes for younger. I'm 15 and I'd rather hang out w/ someone who's in college than high school, for example. Here are some photos of me and how I would dress on a daily basis : http://a370.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/59/l_e2ea40085cd26f10ce779f9129e99e59.jpg http://a285.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00220/48/24/220614284_l.jpg
