Question

Hey, my friend keeps being called the "town bicycle" by boys in her class and this is a reputation that she has not deserved, she isn't a get-around at all. And I keep getting called "shorty" but the people who call me "Shorty" are just joking around whereas the people calling her the "Town bicycle" are being serious and doing it to me mean. Does anyone know any good comebacks to either of these?

Answer 1

They&#039;re so stupid they couldn&#039;t steal a free refill.

They&#039;re so dumb they could get hit by a parked car.

How&#039;s that so far???

Answer 2

I am not there to see for sure, but I would remind you that &quot;shorty&quot; is currently a slang word for a woman or female.  Assuming that you are short and they are just making a joke about that, it doesn&#039;t sound mean-spirited and you may want to think about letting it go.  If you choose to say something, since it sounds only like joking you may want to simply tell them &quot;don&#039;t call me shorty&quot; or &quot;I don&#039;t like to be called shorty.&quot;

Her problem sounds far more complicated.  The two of you may want to see if you can find info on how that got started.  Usually, when that nickname shows up only one of two things have happened.  Either your friend does deserve the nickname; or the more likely reason is that she ticked off one boy by saying no and he responded by saying he did things with her.  Now all the other boys are believing it.

You might be able to find out who it was, since I believe you are right about your friend not deserving the comment.  If it is a guy just being a bully, I would suggest finding a friend or sibling who may be rather intimidating to deal with the guy.  Have him threaten to physically attack the guy unless he tells the truth.  Doesn&#039;t always work, but usually does.  I&#039;ve been the guy who dealt with the bully for a girlfriend.  He definitely told the truth.

If you would prefer to go with comebacks, I am limited on comebacks she could use to restore her own reputation.  I would suggest that for the first guy who calls her the town bicycle that she comes across, she mention something about him having a &quot;short handlebar&quot; or &quot;tiny wheels;&quot; the handlebar obviously referencing his small p***s or tiny wheels referencing his tiny testicles.  Unfortunately while it does hurt him, it also suggests she might actually know, which could hurt her as well.

But I couldn&#039;t come up with anything that would suggest she is not a &quot;town bicycle.&quot;  I&#039;ll keep thinking about it, and put down what I can think of.

Answer 3

thinking of comebacks just makes you as bad as them. Its obvious your on a different wavelength compared to them, so why stoop to their level?

Answer 4

Bullies are difficult. Try to stick up for your friend, if someone calls her that in your presence tell them that they don&#039;t know what they are talking about and that what they are saying is hurtful and inappropriate.

If you must answer in kind, try something along the lines of &quot;the fact that you can&#039;t find a  bicycle willing to give you a ride doesn&#039;t give you the right to trash someone else&#039;s reputation.&quot;

Answer 5

Just ignore them.

Answer 6

kick their asses

Answer 7

What your friend can do is sit down with the school principle and explain the situation. Give the names of the bullies who are calling her this, and exact times and dates. Tell her to keep a small journal of who called her what, when they called her that, and the time and date that she talked to the authorities about it.

If, after two weeks nothing has been done, she should involve the parents of the children calling her the names, along with her parents and the school councils to address the issue. Have her parents make it official (or her legal garden) that if the sexual harassment does not stop, they will seek legal council in regards to actions they plan to take against the school. The days of being called out your name and physically/mentally being bullied are over. And no child (girl or boy) should be subjected to such childish behavior.

These children have no proof of any sexual activities this girl has participated in. And even if she did, they still have no right to call her out her name. Most little boys (and some grown men) only do this when they like the girl them selves, but are cowards and can&#039;t admit it. She does have legal grounds to file suit if she sees fit to do so. I pray and hope for the best for your friend. But she has to be strong and stand up for herself.

Answer 8

If it is not Town bicycle ...it will be another name...Unfortunately we have to develop thick skin and let certain these roll off our backs...call them name back really won&#039;t accomplish anything. It will only bring your friend down to their level. If your friend knows that is not her then she need not worry. Some people are just stupid.
