Why are you always against what everyone says? Also it's not his fault that he's differant, so you're saying that people should be made fun of if they were differant? How would you like it?Flygon Jedi Master said:First of all differences are usually bad. Everyone is different, but not that much. Try to "fit in". Don't follow people all the time. It makes you look stupid, like no one really wants to be your friend, but you want to be friends with them. I lead and follow, depending on the situation. To me, the best way to go in life, is the epic way. It doesn't matter what you do, but make sure it's epic. There's this kid named Mingi at my school, who has lots of umm...uhh..."problems". Why doesn't everyone just hate him and ignore him? Because he's epic. He does everything with style. Unfortunately, you don't have mental "issues", and if your not so could socially, find something else to be epic at. Go play a sport or and instrument or something.PokeChamp said:Different is good. It makes you unique from everyone else, which is awesome. I am different too, from most people. But that's a good thing. Don't let it worry you too muchraichupika33 said:

Difference is everything. Anyone who believes difference is bad has a lot of growing up to do, and that's all I'll say on that.
Devastator is a cool guy. eh tells it like it is and doesn't afraid of anything.
But seriously, you've got to stand up for yourself. If you aren't outgoing that's fine, but don't let people bring you down. Those jerks, again, don't know you. Why would you care if, say, I called you an idiot? I don't know you. How am I to make that judgement? If they call you ugly, who cares? Anyone who does care about that is, AGAIN, not worth your time. Self centered and selfish pricks.
So stop complaining and do something for yourself. Wallowing in self pity will only lead to ruin. Be glad you live in a place where you usually aren't killed for your differences. You have the ability to rise above your petty differences and be a better person.
You have to be able to look these people in the eye when they put you down and say, 'I don't care.' Or they've already won.

The biggest lie ever "sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you" It should be rephrased "Sticks and stone hurt, but words can hurt a heck of a lot more!" I h8 when people say that saying, if you say that, you have obviously never been verbally bullied, sure, sticks and stones hurt, but getting a verbal kick in the face hurts more. Just imagine, you could either be punched, or constantly picked on for stupid reasons. It is easy to ignore bullying, but when people say "ignore them" this is another problem, it's not that easy to ignore a bully. Hanging out with friends helps keep bullies away though!
Good luck!
Good luck!
And the people who say ignoring it doesn't work are people who have never really tried. Been there done that know the psychology.
And you can not tell me it is easier to ignore a punch to the face than someone calling your mother fat. Or whatever, I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.
And no, hanging out with friends does NOT do this. Hanging out with friends will only cause your friends to be ridiculed too.
lolwut

Why I am always against what you say?Dark Marc said:
Making fun of people for being different may inspire them to not be so different. Different does not always mean good.
No one makes fun of me, even when I do act different.
Then again, there are some mean people that just like to make fun of people because they can. I personally only make fun of people with bad differences. (Fat, stupid, annoying etc.)
I mean, I guess it's okay to be different, but not too much, and just as long as you fit in somewhere, it's okay.
Perhaps your trying to hard? People who are ALWAYS trying waaaaaay to hard to fit in usually are really annoying to be around, and they don't even know it. Do you try and look nice? If you don't even try and always look dirty or something, that can also very quickly turn people away from you. Don't act like a know it all, as that also is REALLY annoying to others around you. You said your out going, but if you over do it you WILL be a target for picking on.
Try lying low for a while, and simply observe other people and try and see why exactly you don't fit in. I highly doubt that how you look (unless you never wash/comb your hair etc) is the only reason you don't fit in.

Sure does! ^_^
People will make fun of you for being different, and if being happy and you doesn't make them stop, then make fun of them for being the same.
Being yourself and expressing your interests and strengths in this world gets you places. It's the best thing you can do with your life.
Hope I helped.

DO NOT DO THIS.
That is all.

You've obviously never had friends. At least good ones. I've had friends beat other guys up, just because I was angry at them. I've had friends talk so much crud behind people's back, and you'll be surprised how much better you will feel.
I highly suggest surrounding yourself with friends that will stand by you and stick up for you no matter what. It can really help boost your confidence and make you grow into that same friend that helped you out. Perhaps you can help other kids who need help in the future. ;]
dmaster out.
I do seem different also, it's weird.
I have never been bullied, how are there bullies with you? They are rare.
I am 5'11 and I am 12. People don't try to be mean to me.

You are putting forth that violence is the answer. GET MOAR FRIENDS SO THEY CAN BEAT THE TAR OUT OF ANYONE WHO CROSSES YOU.
There needs to be more adults giving answers up in this thread. :< Never take advice from fellow teenagers. They're just as young and naive as you.
It's like, ugh...the people on Beach...
Setting such great examples. "Gang up on people, make fun of them behind their backs! You'll be a better person for it."
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE
Well, small world...
I hate it... I know exactly how you feel...helpless, no one cares if you are sad, the "not-cool", but "not-weird" people being the only ones nice to you, the "weird" ones saying they are always better than you...in a very dumb way... Yeah...
I really try as hard as I can to ignore it, but it doesn't work at all... What I do is get quiet, drift off, and if people say stuff, ignore it, don't reactt, and just think of something... Wear an emotionless expression on your face, and then people will notice that something is wrong and will actually care a bit... If you do happen to cry, don't do anything about it... If people try to get your attention, look at them, wait for them to talk, and nod or shake your head at their questions of comments (If it's a comment, nod as if you're telling them you understand...), but don't talk... If helps to feel some sympathy from people... PM me if you need extra help, because I know a ton of stuff on that subject...

Yeah, coming from a teenager yourself. I don't care if 18 = Adult, it doesn't. You're still naive too, as you haven't seen that violence does clear almost everything. Eye for an eye should be almost everyone's philosophy. And your last comment, I completely agree. You shouldn't ask for help on here, regardless.
dmaster out.
agree with dmaster on this one >_> Today, if you want to be respected, you have to cross lines. It's not the right thing to do but it's how life is, deal =\ When my bf and his friends were getting into this fight at the mall, they couldn't ignore the fact that the other ppl were trashing their food, you have to do something physically. Kinda the same concept with girls, but instead gossip. You don't gossip? Ppl gossip about you more. If you do, it's fair.
Today world isn't anything like those bullying videos they show you at school...I'm not telling you guys to act like this at all, it's just how you get around at my school, and probably lots others.
And of course you need teen's perspective on this, he's about the same age as us, the age he hangs around are the same, you want to know how other teens deal with the problem.

So the ends always justify the means? I don't see how I'm the naive one here.
EDIT:Before you lead into some stupid reply, violence solves problems, but it does it the wrong way, and is very fragile and shortsighted at best. An eye for an eye is a flawed philosophy leading to mass chain reactions of lashing out. Violence as a response ONLY leads to more violence.
