Teasing. Is It for Fun? or for Destruction

[WrestlerGirl]

Teasing is something that all people go through.What are Your Stories?

I still go through it. I used to get all sad panda about, but now I just think it's funny. I get it, I'm fat. And you can't come up with something original. A couple months ago I had some random person call me fat-ass when I was walking home from 7-11. Behind a church no less. I laughed and he punched me in the back of the head. Mistake on his part. I have a really hard head, so I didn't feel it. I beat up on him and then just left him laying there. Again, behind a church. Some people have no decency. I'm not condoning violence or saying it's a good answer, I'm just saying it's the only answer I can come up with when someone attacks me physically.

I don't get messed with to much anymore, I think because most people realized it's just a waste of time messing with me. I used to get teased a lot in middle school and high school. In middle school I was the weird kid who never shut up, and then in high school I became eventually became the dark shadow sitting in the corner. Whenever people messed with me I completely ignored them, and then I started to become very sarcastic and just messed with them right back. The teasing I was put through was never fun, but it wasn't to sever either, just annoying really. I think a little teasing isn't too bad, like the little things you joke around about with your friends. One example is, my friend Kristin. Her mom, one of her old co-workers and I call her fats. She's skinny as hell, and eats like a pig. She knows we're joking, and even started a "Fat Bastards Club" at her old job, just for kicks.

ok. i read ur guy's replys(thaks for replying)but i see we have some issues here.(no offence to anyone).sick,i see that you have problems with people laying a hand on you in an offensive way,theres nothing wrong with that .but if someone does that to you again , run to the church or a high populated area.because that whole in sident could come right back on u a thousand times worse.remember do onto others what u want them to do onto u.and never be afraid of telling someone as fast as you can.it really helps.i'm not a tharapist but i'm in the same boat. i weigh more than the average person.but never forget that you are still human and you are still you.and thats what makes you sooo special.saddlly some people and more,don't get that consept nowadays.please reply back

In my neighborhood, I'm better off just standing my ground and fighting. If I run from it, everyone is gonna kick my ass. Besides, I may be small and overweight, but I can fight better than anyone in this area. It's was how I was brought up. I was taught to always stand your ground and if your physically threatened, kick some ass. My dad even taught me how to fight. Whether it was him giving me tips, or actually having to fight him. Insults don't bother me, just don't touch me.

When it comes to teasing I like to think of myself as a war veteran. And guess what? I won that war!
I do not come from a wealthy family, by any means. I remember times when my family couldn’t afford new school clothes, and for a while heat so we had no hot water. I was the smelly girl in class who constantly caught head lice and whose clothes never matched. I’m talking about bright purple and blue sometimes green stir-up pants, huge sweaters, and socks that weren’t even remotely “in style” (I remember my mother saying I was the mitch match queen to make me feel better). My hair was stringy and dirty, and my bangs were chip chopped to hell and back. Once I remember when I was younger things got so out of hand my parents shaved me bald. The kids would throw rocks at me chanting things like “are you a boy or a girl?” Even one of my old role models (who is now a semi-respected news anchor woman) poked fun at me….and that was just elementary school!
Come junior high that was forgotten, and my family could afford a little more but I was so socially scared I didn’t want to make any friends, I let (and still do) people come to me and talk, never the other way around.
There is one day, and I’ll never forget. My first experience with make-up. I had on new (clean) clothes, and actually tried to be “pretty” and when my first crush approached me I could feel my heart beating through my support bra and sparkly camouflaged shirt. He looked at me, and I at him and as I smiled he said to me…”you are so ugly.” He walked away and I was crushed. I’ll never forget it. Now I would have a witty come back to throw at him or any one else…but my point is (and I promise I have one) that when you are scared by bullies (whether it be school yard teasing, domestic violence or sexual abuse) at a young age IT DOESN’T GO AWAY!!!

I can't even take it anymore....it has gone past the point of "fun" for me....these kids hurt me so bad, I'm about to just give up=/

[Ash]

Ashley I get exactly how you must feel. Even now that I have this whole "i don't give a fuck I'm great so you can just stick that in yer juice box and SUCK IT!" attitude about me, it still hurts when I hear people giggling at me when I'm not looking. It's never "fun" to be the butt at the end of peoples jokes. For them it's away to feel accepted by fellow peers. Like a survivial of the fittest kind of thing. They pick and poke at every single imperfection you might have without knowing or caring what kind of effect is has on you. Even ones who used to be picked on join in on the "fun" to take the attention off of them... It's sad that these people don't have something better to do with theirs lives and really you should pitty them, because while they're busy obsessing over you, their own lives are passing them by and their problems aren't going away..It's like a drug.
I understand it's hard to live with, but you must live with it. It'll make you stronger in the end while they're still weak. Don't give them the satisfaction of knowing they pushed you over the edge...suicide is NEVER the answer, and it takes someone with courage to keep going through this hell we've all been put through. Sure they might feel bad...but whose to say this wont make them feel like they have some sort of power so they do it again to another person just trying to get through life one day at a time?

i remember gettin picked on when i would go to school when i was younger ( bout 6 yrs old )i would get called fat, ugly, stupid , fat jokes would always be told,i would never cry infront of them but i would cry my eyes out when i got home. i dont think its right for people to joke, kidd, or laugh at peoples flaws. i mean theres no such thing as "flawless". and there never will be. but kids these days are hursh, and adults. ive been chubby all my life and i just have started accepting it. i dont have the body frame of a size 2 and i will never be a size 2; EVER! and thats okay by me.

[WrestlerGirl]

thanks for replying guys. i really apreciate it allot.and teasing really never goes away and it may not be the kind of world we want ,but it's the kind that we have . so we just have to deal with it and stick together.

[ღ cняιѕту ღ]

oh hell yeah!!!
we gotta stick together!!
if we can show these people that we dont need to be accepted by them or care what they think; we've all won the battle, i dont know if anyone agrees w/ me but thats just how i see it.
