Kids in my class keep making fun of me because my dad is a car mechanic, how do I avoid that?
I think that when we’re offended by something, it's because we’re insecure or ashamed of it. This might not apply 100% to all situations but it has for most of mine.I guess there are 2 ways you can do this. The first one is know that there's nothing wrong with being a car mechanic. It seems like you're insecure of the fact that your dad is a car mechanic. Millions of people drive cars, and they WILL need a mechanic at some point. Often, more than once. So when you've learned that your father is doing an important job that many people need his service of, you won't mind the teasing from your friends.The second one is a more short-term solution. Just joke around it. Most people who tease others about something aren't do it out of malice or cruelty. They just think whatever it is they're teasing about is funny, so they wanna have a laugh out of it. Unfortunately for you, your friends are immature enough to think car mechanic is something to tease about. Pffft, wait until they have a car and have to get an oil change, then see who will be laughing as they wait in front of your father’s shop. Anyway, if they make fun of your father, just join in and crack a joke with them. It's one of those case where if you're cornered and is going to go down, take yourself down, because then you can control how and the severity of it. In this situation, if you join in on the joke, you can just say something along the line of: “haha yeah he gets dirty sometimes” and then be done with it. It's hard to make fun of someone when they're already making fun of themselves about it.If it gets any worse, either they're teasing you more or you're being affected (emotionally or in any way), just report to the counselor/teacher and/or tell your family. Hopefully it’ll work out.

My kid keeps making fun of me. It hurts more than it should. What do I do?
TEll your child they are hurting your feelings!Use your own first name vs mom or dad and remind them “ CAROL” is a person, too! Perhaps show them pictures of yourself at their age , it helps with perception that you are not so different than they are .Becoming a parent and the giving it requires does not mean you should give your child undue freedom to taunt you , or anyone else. Some little teasing is fine, but putdowns are an ugly sign of low self esteem, nearly always. Examine when this became common, look at what may have happened in your child’s life. Including influential friends! Is the behavior modeled in your home?Ask them to think of another way to communicate and joke with you . A silly handshake or a high five or goofy voice.Your child may just be trying to communicate with you but at certain ages and under certain circumstances that’s difficult so they might resort to teasing or taunting because they don’t really know what to say but they feel they want to say something
Why do kids make fun of me so much? and how can i stop it?
I know where you're coming from. I too was bullied when i was younger. First, try and talk to your parents about what's been going on and maybe they can talk to the principal at your school, and if that doesn't work maybe you could consider home school. (That's what my parents did for me when everything hit the fan). Another alternative is you could practice with someone on what to say to stand up to these mean chicks and/or guys and when you feel good and ready - let it out. Also try and find a way to block them if they harass you online. I would suggest blockpages or turning off the IM if it's the chat thingie on FB I hope this will help you! Good Luck! :)
Is it bullying if other kids make fun of my kid’s clothes?
This is not a one answer question. There is a certain amount of kidding between friends that is a normal part of social development. Children play with relationships of different kind as social experimentation. It crosses over into the realm of bullying when accompanied by shunning, shaming or physical violence. Also, if the one kidding has a bully personality, one which his self esteem is dependent on lowering others.Parents have a crucial, though backstage role to play on both sides. The child being teased should have parents who both strengthen him to be able to deal with normal kidding, recognize bullying and when to involve adults. Help him to understand that not every unpleasant comment is a reason to get upset. It goes without saying that a parent should make sure they are doing nothing to encourage this by sending the child to school in clothing that is dirty, torn, ill fitting. also, parents should think long and hard about the value of unnecessarily and deliberately making their child different than their peers.Also, parents have the responsibility to teach children to respect others with different tastes and values. Even if they do not follow your teaching, just by being consistent and setting an example it will be internalized by adulthood.Another thing lost on many parents today is that unnecessary parental interference in school affairs hurt your child more than help him. It will both impair his ability to solve issues with peers and distance the other children from him.None of this comes to say that true bullying be tolerated.
Kids always make fun of me because Im weird?
Kids always make fun of me. Girls at school make fun of me and if I see them outside of school they ask each other"hey is that that girl from school" and when I look at them they start giggling. They always bring up a new flaw,I've never been bothered by my feet but one girl commented that my feet were huge. Now I just look at my feet and I notice it. I mean I wish my feet were a cute size six instead of a nine. Boys make fun of me and they make sure I know they find me unattractive and they are disgusted with my looks. I dont get it,they just want to mess with my head. One minute they'll try to talk to me and another time they start fake-throwing up when they see me. I mean either im ugly or pretty. I know Im not the cutest thing walking the hallways,I see pretty good in the mirror but dang,how come every second they have to remind me? I tried standing up for myself and it only got worse. Ive been call ugly,retarded,weird etc. I try to hide out and not get noticed, and I hate when boys try to talk to me because I know its just a big joke. They just want to ask me out and make fun of me,Im not stupid and my parents dont make it any easier by saying Im pretty.I know Im not,why cant they honest instead of trying to make me feel like something. I just wish I was pretty and didnt act weird. I've been told my whole life I was ugly and stupid. I would watch all the pretty girls get noticed and wondered why I didnt look like that. My sister is pretty though,she got the good genes but I got the bad. Does it ever get better after highschool? Will I have a chance in college?
Why do kids make fun of me because iwear clothes from Kmart and Walmart?
When I was your age, my family was almost broke, and we would buy from second hand stores. Now I am 20, and I have a good job, and I buy from Kohls and Target and Walmart. My classmates used to make fun of me, but nowadays, they're complimenting me on finding nice clothes for a good price, and they're complaining about how much money they're spending on their clothes. You and your classmates are only 13, so of course you're going to care about what other people think of you, so you're going to want to fit in. Well, you have to embrace your individuality in all aspects of your life. When your peers give you a hard time, you don't give a crap, because in a year, none of this will matter. In 7 years, you won''t even remember half those people. Anyway, it's easy to shop at A&F and Aero-(who gives a crap) when they're spending their parent's money. Wait till they have bills to pay and mouths to feed. You should be proud that you care about what your mom is spending.
