Teasing. Is It for Fun? or for Destruction

[WrestlerGirl]

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

[Natti Sims]

Well I was always constantly teased about my skin. I've never had the oh so beautiful flawless skin that all my other fellow classmates had and for that difference, I got teased constantly. It was terrible. Day after day I'd get laughs from people and comments about how I should use medication and how ugly-looking I was. My self-esteem had almost hit rock-bottom. I was so depressed at times that I just couldn't take it anymore. Now I don't get teased about it because it's changed, but that does not mean that I don't receive "ugly jokes" anymore, that are really meant to put me down. Luckily I've learned to not take it to heart anymore and just accept the way I am. There's no point to taking it to heart. It will only hurt more and more and it will bring you down. Accepting ourrselves is the goal that we should all accomplish.

From age 4 up until 16 I was bullied. Kids would make fun of my hair in the younger years, then when I was 7 I hit puberty and started developing breasts. I couldn't wear tanks or anything because they would laugh at the site of my bra strap. I even went as far as to duct tape my chest flat.
When I was 9, I got braces. As you may have guessed, that was rough. my nickname was "train-tracks. I couldn't smile in my school pictures anymore.
Throughout all this I was depressed and turned to food, since my parents were getting divorced and had no money for counceling. So they just put me on drugs that basically turned me into a zombie. I still struggle with my weight, but I dont binge eat anymore.
Middle School was rough with the whole "clique" thing. if you didn't conform, you were a worthless piece of shit. I dressed in band tshirts and jeans, and got called a dyke because i didn't believe in makeup and bright colors like all the preppy bitches calling me that. Basically if I wasn't breathing how they wanted, they would have something to say about it. Some even went as far as to pull down my pants to make sure i was a girl.
My first year of High School was Middle School to another level, but this time I faught back. I got into a lot of fights, won all of them. By this point I knew teachers couldn't help me. Basically by taking matters into my own hands by them sitting on their lazy asses while i was getting people threatening to stab me in the hallway because I "existed", I was the problem. They pretty much left me alone when I wouldn't take their shit lying down.

as of now i changed to a school where pretty much everyone knows what happends if they mess with me.

way to stick up for yourself! i was never picked on, but some girls picked on my cousin when we were in junior high and i beat them up for her and treated them to back off or i'd kick their asses. i also did this with my little sister but it was more just threarening then.

My friends all call me fat and ugly constantly. I mean they even named me "The Ugliest Wondergirl", and "Popinfreash", and anything else they think of at the time. I know they don't mean it in a nasty way. They even say the only reason they do it is becuase none of it is true, therefore it's funny. But it still kinda hurts, and plays on my self-esteem. It's very true that if a stranger makes fun of you you don't care, but it's those that know you, your loved ones, who can hurt you the most. A total stranger could come up to you and go "You look ugly" and you can just kinda go "No, I just have this expression because you're here.", yet a loved one knows exactly what to say "Your nose-hair, which by the way is grey, is in my eye". And that's it. Stings like a bitch.

i know what you mean. my mom and my sisters always pick on me for having small boobs.
my sister who's 11 already beats me and she constantly makes fun of me being flat. and those comments hurt most because they're the things that make you feel ugly.
just know that since it's your friends whom i assume love you only do it because you love them enough to let it go, if you weren't that close to them they wouldn't risk getting u upset.

if it really bugs u though, tell them to stop is always an option.
hope that helps a little.

i feel you on the small boobs. i get poked at for mine too, and they aren't even all that small!!! but when put next to my little sister( who is 16) i look like a man. i can't help that she has ginormous boobs and i got small ones. no need to rub it in, though!!!

Mmmm... I'm on secondary I just have 14 and a lot of things like that happens to me and I feel sick...
I just can't admit that I'm gay because... I know that some of the will kick me righ on the ass...
Or will make me a joke...
And I feel so angry when someone tells gay to another person like if the word and the mean be somethin' like whore, stupid or something like that...
And my friends know it but they aren't even something like my friends... they don't even hear me when im speaking, and they told me a lot of things like "Intelligence pursues you, but you're faster" and I just feel like a complete idiot...
I'm so sick of everyone at the school...
Because almost everyone has told me something like:
You're fat...
You're ugly...
You're stupid...
Even the teachers tells you things like if you where a dumb.

I'm sorry if you don't understand a shit... I'm Mexican and i don't know english very well.

It's getting worse again. I don't have any friends in most of my classes. I have one friend that is practically the only reason that I go to school. The rest of the day I try to get through it without crying or hurting someone.I've been getting harassed by practically any guy that crosses my path, except for the above mentioned friend and some friends at lunch. Due to that, I've been in this state of mind that everyone hates me and wont give me a second chance even though I never really messed up to begin with.

i have personally never been teased, at least not to my face. I have been a witness to teasing, and beat people up for it. i don't understand a lot of why people tease others. Some of it i get is for petty revenge or becuase they don't like someone, but I've seen people hurt others for no reason at all. Becuase they can? Becuase they think they're better? Why? I don't know what teasing is for, but I think that if someone teases for fun, then they are a heartless person. In my opinion, teasing means destruction for the person who teases and the person being teased.
