  • Teasing is a fact of life, and it's a myth that it ends with school.

    When I get teased, I usually just laugh, regardless of whether I find it funny or not. XD

    I've been teased in school several times already, by my classmates, of course. I never really get affected with it, if they tease me I'll tease them too, I never give up, and never will.:)

    I've been teased by a lot of people, I'm not gonna lie here. I can't tell you who specifically, because a lot of people do for stupid reasons. It's sort of frequent, and sort of not, depending on the day and depending on what happens. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I don't necessarily take it well though regardless, and I try to ignore it, although the teasing does somewhat hurt on the inside. ;____;

    Altogether I just don't really pay attention to it(or try not to pay attention to it).

    I've been teased a lot for liking Pokemon and having styled hair.

    Last time I've been tasted was 2 days ago by my friend, he said that I should become a gay model.

    I deal with this by teasing them back. It usually work. Or sometimes just ignore them because they're just being a hypocrite.

  • Have you ever been teased before?
    Not in a harmful way. If I have been, I didn't take it seriously. Sometimes I think people take it much too seriously & let their insecurities take over. In essence, it's often something you do to yourself.

    When was the last time you were teased, and by whom?
    N/A

    How do you deal with teasing?
    I've never taken people seriously. I let myself be a freak without being loud, obnoxious, and unpleasant. I make fun of people all the time, but I'm never a jerk about it.

  • I was never teased an awful lot as a kid. And whenever someone would try, I'd either go right along with it like it was a joke or ignore them. It always worked really well. If the teasing turned to bullying, I involved an adult and that was the end of it.

    I remember in high school, I think some people tried to tease me for liking Pokémon. By the end of the class, I had a whole group of people nostalgia-ing hard for the original anime series and Red/Blue. :p That was probably the best outcome of teasing.

    1. Yes, all the time.
    2. Last time I was teased was by my dad today.
    3. I hate it, when I'm teased I try to get the person teasing me to stop.

  • 1) Yeah but mainly because I have Asian friends. Usually we say stuff back, well I always do. Other times I just pretend I didn't hear it so they stop for the time being.

    2) My older brother

    3) It's not that bad compared to what other kids at my school get. It doesn't really bother me tbh but I don't like it when my friends are teased, and thats when I say stuff back XD

    In my group of friends, I'm the one who gets the the brunt of all the teasing. XD It's all in good fun, so normally I'm laughing along with them or making some sort of sarcastic but still good-humoured reply.

    I was seriously teased as a kid, though, and I didn't handle it very well at all. I mean, if it were now and I was who I am now back then, I'd handle it much differently. But as a kid, I was very quiet and none too confident so even the smallest bit of teasing (even jokingly) really got to me. :/

    Plenty of times.

    Can't remember. It happens frequently and casually.
    How do you deal with teasing?
    I go along with it and smile, or perhaps entertain them with a jokingly indignant expression. Either way, if it persists past being irritating I will ignore it and walk away, and if it's jab gone too far I'll either parry or make one of my own. People can tease me, yes, but they should expect reciprocation with interest if they take advantage of it too much. =)

  • Have you ever been teased before?
    I used to be teased quite often, but people learn to stop what ends up hurting them.
    When was the last time you were teased, and by whom?
    About two weeks ago, inside the math class, by an idiot at school. He kept calling me to distract me from my sudoku and then pretended not to have done it.
    How do you deal with teasing?
    The first time, I gave him "strike one". The second time, I gave him "strike two", and the third time, I told him he lost. When the bell rang, I beat him up. I haven't done that in like a year, since I try to stay out of trouble, but I take people seriously and demand they do the same to me. It's fun how even after a year without any exercise I had no problem with beating him.

    Teasing is fine imo. Even if it's really offensive I would still probably be okay with it, as long as it's just teasing and not actually meaning it.

    Have you ever been teased before?
    Who hasn't? :[

    When was the last time you were teased, and by whom?
    Last night at dinner. Dad. That's almost what our relationship is based on. Making fun of things. XDDDDD

    How do you deal with teasing?
    Laugh. I don't really mind it at all. Even if someone threw some kind of racist comment at me I probably wouldn't care. XD

    I don't really get teased that often. Smalls school, most everyone is on friendly enough terms, or mature enough not to go around teasing other people. Most people. Even so, I'm not one of those people who would be a prime target, as there really isn't much that people will find bothering me. When they don't get response that they want, they tend to move on and find more livelier prey.

    I just hate bullies and people who tease others actually. It isn't when they pick on me, because I couldn't really care less about what they say or do about me. Not only that, but I could defend myself quite aptly, and use my wit to give a better response, should I want to. But what gets me is when they pick on people I care about, or pick on people about things that aren't really their fault. (i.e. autism, a face deformity) That is because their is nothing they can do about.

    If I see people getting teased, I tend to step in a little bit. If not right away, I will almost always approach them later. I mean.. it's just wrong. If you don't help you are just as bad as the person do what they are doing. Sometimes it isn't what you say, it is what you don't say. Silence can be just as killer as words can.

    Jokingly, all the time. Meanly, most of the time.
    When was the last time you were teased, and by whom?
    Meanly was when I was wearing "It's Our World Too" animal rights tshirt and a girl made a sarky comment about "that was all animals were good for anyway."
    How do you deal with teasing?
    Ignore it. I rarely retaliate because I get jittery and lose my nerve.

    Of course!

    Yesterday? My classmate, Rick.

    How do you deal with teasing?
    Teasing is fun actually, but it also hurts people's feelings. If someone teased me I'll tease him/her too, That's how I deal to it, and in the end, he/she is annoyed. XD
