Ok, people who do judge others like this are really not the same. Some may be serious about it, others may not. Sometimes when you make fun of a certain type of people, you do it out of habit, but you're not really meaning to hurt the person's feelings'. But then there are those who actually intend to hurt feelings or those that for some unknown reason just don't like the person or the type of person/group. But whatever the case, just don't let it get to you. If someone is making fun of you and they don't mean to hurt your feelings, then don't get all frustrated over it because they are not serious. And if that person does mean to hurt your feelings, then you still shouldn't get all frustrated over it because that's just what they want you to do. They want you to get mad and frustrated, but if you don't, and you act calm and ignore them, they will get frustrated themselves. THey'll get frustrated and mad themselves because you are not doing what they want you to do and they are trying so hard to make you feel that way, but you're not giving in. It is so easy to counter them. However, if it's really serious and the person is extremely harrassing you, then you should seek help from a parent or teacher, or even a friend.

And when dealing with these people, it's just best to ignore them. What do they know anyways. There's no point in arguing with them; they won't understand. Maybe they will someday, but at that point they don't.

Oh yeah, one more thing, Arwen_Evenstar

Take my advice: don't do that. Trust me, if you do that, it won't work. Some girl did something like that way back when I was in grammer school and everyone thought she was crazy. She just snapped and went off on someone. I was there, and I thought that she was a physco who didn't take her pills or something, so did my friends and about 99.9% of the crowd. And I'm sure you know that gossip spreads like wildfire. Well, as it turns out, the guy she yelled at had been harrassing her and making fun of her for a while. He had been pretty cruel to her also. But I didn't know that at the time. She just looked crazy then. And then, she was labelled crazy for a long time after that. More people made fun of her. Anyways, you get the picture. But, it's better just to handle it calmly. That's the best way. You can be bold and strong yourself, but do it in a calm fasion. You don't want to attract attention. And your brother might be able to help out, especially if he's older. But whatever you do, don't explode and make a big scene.
