How Do You Deal With Teasing?
It's quite common everywhere. Teasing. People who tease do it for "fun", but most times, it can be quite hurtful.
Here's what I'd like to know: Have you ever been teased before? My Answer: Yes, a lot, in fact. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? My Answer: Two days ago, in my L.A class, by my now Ex-Friend. He was making noises and trying to get my attention. How do you deal with teasing? My Answer: I didn't even acknowledge his presence, or give him a second glance. |
Haha, I have ONE friend who seems to have only one form of humor (teasing). He also doesn't seem to grasp where the line is between "a bit of fun" and "targeting people's greatest insecurities".
How do I deal with it? I make sure to only talk to him around specific people who I know don't appreciate teasing. That way whenever he makes a "fooneh joek" about me it just ends in awkward silence. He usually learns after that. If it's just him and I, well, I ignore him for the most part. |
I got teased throught out my high career. However I had great frends that made me smile instead of crying. I usually ignore the people that are teasing me.

Have you ever been teased before?
While, earlier in my life, yes. Hasn't everyone? Mostly just for weight/looks/attitude etc When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? Depending what type of teasing; joking teasing or actual teasing? Joking, then all the time. It's what friends do! But for actual teasing, I don't know, nearly a year? I'm not very 'out there' and noticeable, lol. How do you deal with teasing? Depending on the person, a sarcastic remark. Or, just ~swagger walk~ away and not care. oh good memories of my childhood flashing back to me |
Well me and my friends always "tease" each other, but it's all in good fun, and we always know we're joking. To be honest, I've never really dealt with teasing before. I mean, I knew it existed (and I've been the friend that stood up for another friend before), but I've never personally received any. Maybe because I was (still am) that one nice, not socially awkward, girl who could help with class/homework. XD
|
Oh my god are you kidding me? I'm teased often, but that happens a lot at my school. In fact, everyone is teased, builds bonds.
But even if it was someone outside of my school I would take the joke, unless it was offensive. Then it gets personal. |
I can't remember I was teased when I was in school. But I was teased in my first job when I was still in my first of university by two idiots, so ultimately I got them fired [not for the teasing -_-]. After that, I have been able to cope with any teasing, and sometimes indirectly deal with such situations.
|
To me, there's a difference between teasing and making fun of. Teasing is what your friends and family do to you to poke fun at just about anything. Making fun of is what everyone else does in a non-playful way.
Have you ever been teased before? Everyone has. I'm not an exception. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? My dad. How do you deal with teasing? I respond with dry humor. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Who hasn't? When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? It was either by a friend at my college, or a family member. How do you deal with teasing? Depends on who is doing the teasing and what they're teasing about. Sometimes I go along with it, while other times I simply ignore it and don't give it a second thought. |
I've been teased before, yes. It seems like everyone in our class is teasing me! xD
But yeah, its not really that serious, I don't take it seriously. I know everyone of us tease each other for fun. ^^; |
Have you ever been teased before?
When I was younger, yes. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? My friend :< How do you deal with teasing? Ignore it. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Yeah. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? Wednesday for wearing my Gators Jacket. My friend. How do you deal with Teasing? Invite them to fight after school, then make them eat the ground. :badsmile: |
Well to start off I consider teasing as joking between friends/family and not meant in a hurtful way.
Have you ever been teased before? Yes. I would say 50% of the interactions with my friends consists of us making fun of each other. xD When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? About twenty minutes ago by my little brother. I made a really stupid looking face by accident. :( How do you deal with teasing? Tease them back or laugh at their own teasing. All teasing has at least a grain of truth to it and I find it funny when people point out the little stupid things I do. |
Have you ever been teased before?: A few times, yes
When was the last time you were teased, and by whom?: I was teased by my cousin before he left a few weeks ago, but I'd rather not say how he teased me. How do you deal with teasing?: I just got mad at him. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Yeah especially by my skin color and life standard. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? Just yesterday my professor teased me because I forgot to make my homework. Yeah he called me senile. .....>.> How do you deal with teasing? I laugh with people who teases me and sometimes teasing doesn't matter because it's true. Life wouldn't be much happier if there's no teasing between peers and friends. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Um, of course. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? Eh, I'm not around people often so last sunday. How do you deal with teasing? I either ignoreit or snap and tease them back. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Yup. It use to happen a lot when I was younger and my IRL friends have this habit of giving me new nicknames to tease me. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? This morning, by one of my friends :< He said "Oh look it's Shizzle!" then he started laughing and one of my brothers friends did something similar. How do you deal with teasing? I wind them up. That's how I deal with it. |
I had to deal with it all the time in elementary/middle school... but I kind of ditched all of my friends and became a loner in high school and it stopped completely. Funny how that works.
|
Have you ever been teased before?
Every day. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? Today, by my friends. How do you deal with teasing? I tease back. Literally most conversations with irl friends consists of constant teasing. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Well of course, everyone has. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? When I was at school this afternoon, by some people I know. How do you deal with teasing? Fine, I just go along with it usually. Me and my friends usually tease each other, claiming one another to be fat, gay etcetera. It's always fun to be (jokingly) called gay, only to then come on the person who said so. __________________ |
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. |
Simple.
I tell the person to GTFO of my face and walk away. I hate people who talk crap about you for no apparent reason. |
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. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Yes When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? Friday, my friend was laughing at me because I mistaken the Biceps Brachii for the Triceps Brachii How do you deal with teasing? I usually laugh it off, then it makes others laugh :] |
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 |
Have you ever been teased before?
Yes I have When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? I think yesterday? Its not really teasing but people bug me about my straight hair, that ISNT straightened lol. And friends, and people i know, someone will bring it up and then everyone just jumps in the conversation. Its a hot topic (; hahaha. How do you deal with teasing? I really dont care. |
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. :/ |
Have you ever been teased before?
Plenty of times. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? 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?
Not that many times~ When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? Quite a long time ago~ When I made a mistake in maths~ I was teased by my classmate~ How do you deal with teasing? I dunno~ I barely get teased, so all I do is to giggle and walk away~ :3 |
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. |
Have you ever been teased before?
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. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Of course! When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? 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 |
I've gotten teased by the way I talk because I have an accent but they just imitate how my accent sounds like but I know they're just playing around
|
Call it innate aggression or whatever, but I do not take taunting lightly. I don't get taunted frequently, except by some of my more annoying friends. Even then, I guess the best way to categorize my response to taunting is... massive retaliation. |
Have you ever been teased before? Yep
When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? Upperclassmen How do you deal with teasing? Ignoring them (worst method, but whatever) I'm only confident around my friends, so I don't have the balls to tell them to screw off. |
Have you ever been teased before?
Of course. Sometimes in a friendly way, and sometimes in a mean way. When was the last time you were teased, and by whom? I can't seem to remember. :< How do you deal with teasing? If people are doing it for fun, and in a friendly way, well I either respond by teasing them myself, or usually just laughing, or whatever reaction you could label as "gentle". On the other hand, if they are doing it in order to be mean/insult me, at first I ignore them. Although it depends on what they said. If it's something I know I can deal with easily, having good arguments, then I just "shout" back at them. If I find it useless to actually respond, I won't and will just ignore them. Would they keep teasing me again and again, I'd certainly react by getting angry...but I'd still try to avoid physical violence. |
