Getting made fun of at school hurts like h**l?

Question

Every day at school, different people will always stare and laugh at my acne and and my hair, because I'm not perfect. My skin is not perfect enough for them, my makeup isn't perfect enough for them..and they love laughing at me for it.

I'm already suffering from self-esteem issues, as you can see on my profile page. I just want to kill myself at the moment, it hurts so bad. I'm terrified to talk to people and look them in the eye because I'm scared that they will make fun of me or point out my flaws. How do I not let their words get to me?

Answer 1

Let me ask you this, do you like you?  That is all that matters.  People, especially teens pick on easy prey.  Believe it or not you may be breaking out because you get so tense.  When you go to school do not go with expectations that they are going to like you or accept you but go with the intentions of getting an education focus on that and when they do start the teasing........take it like a champ and don't even respond then it will die down.  Let them literally see on your face that it doesn't hurt you (just look the person straight in the eye and don't crack a smile or tear.....face your fear).  Honey none of us are perfect and you will not like certain things about yourself until you pass. And not only that you are going to change for the better once you start blossoming into adulthood.  You have to find a way to be happy with you regardless of what others think.

Also, if you are one of those who thinks of quick comebacks them speak up and let them have don't let anyone push you into a corner about your own personal self.

Oh gosh, I really know how you feel. I've been teased all of my life, which has seriously brought my self-esteem down, and made me very shy. I've gained a lot of weight, too. I start college in about two weeks, and I'm so nervous about it happening again. Just know that you aren't alone in this. Over the years, I've found a select few good friends in high school, and that's what you have to do, too. Stay true to who you are... there is no reason to change just to make the bullies happy. It helps to just go up to people you never really talk to and just start talking. If they are jerks, then forget about them and find someone else. Another great way to meet people is to join a club, sport, etc... somewhere that has a group with a same interest. If you ever need to talk to someone, confide in your close friends or even parents. Good luck!

Seriously you need to write this stuff down in a composition notebook and read it to yourself on a good day so you can see the hurt you feel. If you want better skin try cetaphil (face wash) it works. Stop wearing foundationtion  and just put on eyeliner and mascara .Instead of lipstick try some cool lipgloss. As for your hair the ponytail never will go out of style and try some bangs they are in this year.

Now those were just tips but you need to work on you your self esteem is a bit low you need to relax because people like you grow up to be rich and beautiful others just dont see it yet so please perk up and really write that stuff down it could be a best sell 2010 you never know

Answer 4

remember that everybody who picks on you just has self esteem issues,

they point out your issues to avoid theirs.

in addition, ur acne is prolly just a phase, and if

it really bothers you try proactiv it worked for me

hope this helps :]

everyone gets made fun in their life. its just a nasty world. i know exactly what you are going through. i was made fun of a lot in school and when i started to change a lot of the people who made fun of me actually talk to me now. I realized that you shouldnt let what other people say bring you down. it doesnt matter if you have perfect hair or anything because no one is perfect.They are probably either jelous or realize that their life sux so they pick on you. don't listen to what other people say because you are who you are and you shouldnt change just because people say mean things. sooner or later it will pass. you dont have to be anything for them. Just be yourself and try not to let it get to you that much. it does hurt a lot. im sorry you have to go through it.

Hope this helped! Good luck!  

Answer 6

look, honestly you can't let them. I know it's hard but i know exactly how you feel. =[  it's pretty hard at first and you just feel so bad. But what I try to do is just ignore them. that's what everybody says and yeah i was skeptical but honestly if you just ignore them it won't matter. Everyday is a new day. and don't kill yourself. I had a whole bunch of people who i thought were my friends coming up to me and being like "you better watch your back" or "hey, we've gotta whole buncha people that're ready to jump you" Infact i was talking to this one girl and these two guys looked back and starting whispering. And I know exactly what they were talking about. ME. Just try and block them out.

Another thing that helped is that I know not everybody is going to like you. (not YOU you, but you in general lol)  this one guy said people didn't like Jesus, George Bush (but he's sitting high and mighty in the white house =] and a fat pay check lol) you just have to live with it.

You can try and ask about transferring. =]

Best of luck ♥♥♥♥
