Agreed... Also agreed Then don't furnish the entertainment. What the hell do you care what they think anyway? Until you react to the jokes they only reflect on the "friends" who are making them. Besides, why is it so important for you to fit in with assholes? Why abase yourself that way. Aren't you worth more than that?
Yeah you'd be better off with no friends than to have friends like those. Fitting in isn't all it's cracked up to be. lol Make it clear that you're not gonna take that shit anymore, and that you won't hang out with them anymore if they keep it up. If they're really your friends, then that will make them stop messing with you so much. You can't bitch up though. If they don't stop, then stop hanging out with them.
i wasn't really picked on, but i was far from "popular" in school, and amongst my groups of friends i was always the third wheel. one thing that made a huge difference was when i got a job. do you work? i know it sounds lame, and everyone hates going to work, but it's a great way to meet new people without feeling like you are "putting yourself out there". you are getting paid to be there, with people who know nothing about how people treat you at school, therefor have no reason to do what others do to you to look cool. i found some of my best friends in that time of my life at my first job as a bagger at meijer lol. i got my first boyfriend there, and found that i am worth being friends with.
Your showing weakness bro, and thats a predators favorite sign. Either let them go, let them know no words bother you, or fight them(NOT a good idea, but an option).
Most of this is spot on except that fighting only dignifies the insults. Also saying the words have no meaning could be communicating quite the opposite depending on how the message is delivered.
YOu also might wanna try coming back with some insults and make fun of them the way they make fun of you. Then you'll all be making fun of eachother and it'll actually be fun, instead of you being the only one getting made fun of.
You need better comebacks, like the Johnny Depp one, should've been like "well at least I'm getting action from someone unlike you ugly bastards"
This is good if followed from the beginning but he may have already shown his buttons which if 16 y/o's are anything like what I've seen they will persist until he snaps. It seems that in stages of development many people attain the ability to be an asshole at 15 or 16 but don't grasp the fine art of rationing it until they get out in the world and realize the costs of throwing that around carelessly.
Or tell one of them "No, Johnny and I were just talking. He told me you give the worst head he's ever had". haha
i don't know it's just that we talk things into the ground sometimes i added :xmasnut: to show i didn't mean it in a mean way, i think the god part made it sound mean.. i typed out a whole paragraph about how threads go in SL but ya know i just hate takin up space and this is so irrelevant to OP.. i shouldn't have said anything at all. so this is all
i think many people who find their way here fit into the oddly shaped peg category, we enjoy sharing our experiences because they are so similar. i like seeing people older than me go "yeah, been there, done that, came out of it ok." it lends itself to hope at least.
I don't fit in anywhere either. So I just chill with all sorts of people. I like it. No one I even talk to anymore understands any more than one aspect of my personality, but it's still cool to be a click-hopper.
And now you've contributed two posts to the thread. I'd also point out that the first posts didn't really come across as particularly mean but it also offered nothing in response to the original post which seems to document the young man's becoming aware that most of the people his age are shall we say not worth the time to bother with. His problem stems from placing too much value in their supposed opinions of him. Being "cool" is basically showing in every gesture, word, facial expression, and body language that you couldn't possibly care less what other people think of you. People will find it odd... and intriguing. They'll try to get closer to find out what it is you have that they don't.
I agree with this for the most part.... though the effort of telling them to fuck off sort of dignifies their assholery!
