Oh, Wesley, the only thing I can tell you is that you need to remain firm that you are a great person and that it is their loss. Even if you didn’t have kp, kids are cruel (a combination of too much TV and personal insecurities) and they will always find someone to pick on. The best way to deal with teasing like that is to look your bully straight in the eye and laugh it off. Pretend that you aren’t offended by the comment (even if you are). This will give them less power over you and they will soon move on to the next helpless victim. If he is a friend, you should always try and work it out. Like Kim r said, sometimes kids project their feelings outwards and attack others to make themselves feel better… or maybe he just didn’t think you would be offended. However, don’t stoop down to their level and name call back. Nor should you make fun of other people to take the attention away from yourself. Always try and set an example. You will be surprised to find that people might just follow you… and start being nice. Lots of love and support, Mel

sorry to hear some punk ruined your day. i agree with mel- look at him directly in the eyes, do a no teeth grin (like a smirk), shake you head 'no'(like you can't believe how ignorant this guy is)at him two times, and walk away. He will #1) know he did not get to you and (the eye contact means you aren't afraid and the grin means you aren't hurt)#2) he will wonder why you are shaking your head and wonder also about what YOU are thinking about him. Then walk away/ go back to whatever you were doing. Kids do this,again, to make themselves fell better by picking on what they are assuming is weak (different is seen as a weakness when you are 14, hate to say it but it is true). They see they can't affect you then you have shown then that you are not weak.you know where i learned this stare, smirk and nod trick? there was a guy in elementary school (yes i can remmeber that far back) who was an albino and the boys would make fun of him (called him Casper or ghost, etc. real original...) anyway, he did that and eventually the boys stopped b/c it was not fun. He won.

hang in there bro'.
