Have you ever been made fun of and how did you deal?

Help- made fun of for looking like a kid..?

• i'm a freshman, and i have ALWAYS been mistaken for a 6th grader. its really sad, i wear mature clothes, and i wear makeup, but i'm short and skinny (i'm 85 pounds and 5ft tall) thats why i look like a 6th grader. i'm not anorexic, just my metabolism is higher than most peoples. i get made fun of by SIXTH graders, yes you heard that right- me, a 14 year old girl, gets made fun of by a bunch of 11 year olds because they think i look like a sixth grader not a freshman. one of them likes to imitate me and makes fun of me, but i just play it cool and act like it doesn't bug me, and usually then he stops doing it and i act nice to him for a minute, then he starts being mean to me again. he even called me a wierdo and that i was the wierdest person he has ever seen! also, i started freshman year in a new 6-12 grade school. today, during school, we were having a fire drill and my teacher called out my name and i said "here" and one popular freshman girl who i have never seen before, asked me if i was new in kind of a rude way. i said "yeah" then she just glared at me for like 15 seconds, and i just stared back... then she turned around without saying a word and walked up to her friend and started to point at me and they were both staring at me and talking to each other, and then they started to laugh REALLY hard, to be honest, i don't know what they were saying... i mean, i was wearing normal nice clothes, my makeup was fine and i was completely normal.... they kept laughing hysterically, and kept looking back at me, they were only like 5ft away from me. the only thing i could decipher from their convorsation was "looks like" and "sixth grader" - they thought i looked like a sixth grader, and who knew what more mean things they were saying about me. i was exteremely sad and embarassed... then these two girls walked into their popular clique and they all started to look at me and were whispering stuff too :( its horrible. i have a crush on this guy, but hes like 2 years older than me, but he's really cute. when i first met him he said "are you a sixth grader?" to me and i said "no i'm a freshman" then my lil bro started to laugh at me. i could tell my crush was trying not to laugh too and was really surprised, and then he said "oh sorry" he flirts with every girl in the school, but he just never talks to me because i think hes afraid that his friends will make fun of him for talking to someone who looks like a little kid. i saw him at school today and i just tried to hold eyes with him for like 5 seconds but he didn't smile or anything.... he didn't even look into my eyes he just kind of walked away like i was just a stranger. i'm just so sad, can anybody give advice on how to deal with a mean 6th grader, some really mean popular girls, and my crush? Thanks!

• Answer:

  You should definitely tell a teacher, and your parents and about these people. They are bullying and that's not cool! >:'( Your crush... Hmm.. Let the fates determine that. But, you can try to be friends with him. That's a good way to start. And I know many people in my school that are very, very short. I'm in middle school and there's a guy in my grade that's 4 ft tall, and I know someone in sixth grade that's UNDER 4 ft. You are not alone, girl! <3
