<p>So you were the kid who got teased a lot in high school, then you went to college planning to leave your past behind and remake yourself, only to learn that you are teased even in college. It's deja vu, high school all over again.</p>
<p>If that's you, how do/did you cope with all the teasing you undergo/underwent in college?</p>
<p>I told my dean and everything got immediately better.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>I think what helps, when you’re starting new and making new friends, is breaking out of your shell and trying new things. Sometimes breaking your comfort zone is the way to success. Even if you feel uncomfortable, it’s something you need to grow and learn, because socializing isn’t just for the heck of it, it can be pretty important.</p>
<p>Of course, if there’s a loser group of people teasing you, just ignore them. Or, play along with it. There are some kids at my school that are constant teasers and the best thing to do is to play along, maybe jokingly tease them back. It works pretty well.</p>
<p>Nope and nope.</p>
<p>You people need to grow a backbone. You’re giving bullies way too much power in your life.</p>
<p>If anyone tries to tease you, you call them names like fat, ugly, etc or compare them to an animal. </p>
<p>Idiot: <em>insert tease / instigate / attempt to make fun of</em>
You: “And you look like a camel.”</p>
<p>That was a simple, dumb, but effective one. You’re bound to hear some "Ooooooo"s in the background.</p>
<p>Based on your many previous threads, I’m guessing you’re overreacting. People tease each other all the time; they tease their friends, family, coworkers, classmates…however, there is a definite line between teasing and bullying. I think bullying is what you’re talking about rather than teasing. </p>
<p>is it a specific group that’s bullying you, or do you perceive everyone to be mocking you? why do you hang out with these people? my college is so big it’s common to meet a person and never see them again…it should be a lot easier to ignore people in college.</p>
<p>not HS,
more than anyone should ever have to endure in MS, however</p>
<p>not sure how anyone could allow themselves to be bullied</p>
<p>I’ll admit… I was kind of an a*sshole in HS and took it out probably on some kids like you. Usually though it was a group thing when I was with my baseball teammates. But in my defense I was having to deal with family problems. </p>
<p>But seriously… teased in college? In college, you can be the biggest nerd, spaz, freak ever, and people won’t tease you. Ignore you and talk about how weird you might be when you’re not around maybe, but teasing? You must be actively ****ing this kids off. Are they physically teasing (hurting) you? In that case you can simply call the cops or something because that doesn’t fly once you’re over 18.</p>
<p>Teased? To my face? Only by the most immature senior boys in the world in 3rd period Pre-Calc. Most of it is behind my back. And I laugh at their stupidity behind their backs and grin with eternal glee as I realize I’ll never see any of their ignorant immature faces ever again after I graduate. ^-^ </p>
<p>Makes me feel better every time I think about it. Then I feel slight pity for whoever has to deal with them after they’re off in the world. :(</p>
<p>i was teased pretty much up until the 6th grade, heh. glad that’s over with…</p>
<p>“But seriously… teased in college? In college, you can be the biggest nerd, spaz, freak ever, and people won’t tease you. Ignore you and talk about how weird you might be when you’re not around maybe, but teasing?”
this was sort of my initial reaction too. i would assume they have a reason for actively teasing u…?</p>
<p>oh, &…
“well i was bullied because im stupid and weak.”
is that serious?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The teasing I go through is real. Whether I react, overreact or don’t react at all is not the point of this thread.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You are right. I think bullying is what I am talking about: mistreating or attempting to intimidate a weak/defenseless person.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why don’t you just ask me if I have mental problems?</p>
<p>No, I don’t think “everyone” is mocking me. If I did, I would be either psychotically paranoid or universally derided.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t. They are in my classes or live in my dorm room and there isn’t much I can do about it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not when you see them in class everyday or when their dorm room is right in front of yours.</p>
<p>wow… i’m shocked that you get teased in college. i’ve heard of some good-natured ribbing/hazing by people you know, but i’ve never heard of people starting problems with somebody they don’t know. </p>
<p>can you describe the situations in which you get teased, and what type of things they say?</p>
<p>"is it a specific group that’s bullying you, or do you perceive everyone to be mocking you?
Why don’t you just ask me if I have mental problems?</p>
<p>LOL, that question is hilarious.</p>
<p>okay, so…what r they teasing u about?</p>
<p>I thought you were going to drop out anyways?</p>
<p>Seriously, this is like the 10th fscking whining thread you have made. And it wouldn’t be so bad if you actually listened, but all you EVER do is simply dismiss the advice of anybody here and then get defensive.</p>
<p>Just go. Drop out already - this forum is not your personal ■■■ blog. And I say blog because everything is completely one sided with you.</p>
<p>Wow. I’m glad I can say that nobody has seriously teased me at college. I was laughed at during an orientation and once during class, but that’s about it…
As pathetic as it sounds, I can’t get over what happened in high school and middle school. This is mostly because I encounter them til this day. Even if they do nothing, I still feel like a failure because I’m pretty much the same loser I was in the past.</p>
<p>“I still feel like a failure because I’m pretty much the same loser I was in the past.”</p>
<p>is THAT serious? i just don’t know with this site anymore…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah. I’m dead serious. I don’t mean to be emo, but I can’t get the **** over it for some reason. I shouldn’t let it get to me, but once someone of HS or even MS shows up, it all goes out the window. Sorry, I know you’re all not therapists, but he asked a question and I answered.</p>
<p>seriously, what actually happened to you guys? was it THAT bad? i can’t believe you would still be holding onto something after so long.</p>
<p>I don’t see why you are worrying TA. If you really have people telling you that you could be a model, then you’ll be just fine once you leave college. There will always be somewhere attractive people can fit in.</p>
