I'm being redundant, but follow the path of least resistance: make fun of her right back. Find out what makes her tick, her pet peeves, and what she is afraid of people knowing about her. Get up in her private life behind her back, do a little digging, and then when you find the gold constantly make fun of her for it like she does you. The problem is, once you start, you're gonna have to keep at it, because if you slip up she'll attack like the teenybopper she is.

I'd say follow Lego's suggestion.

Hear, hear!!

I'd been teased since elementary school for being so weird. How I dealt with it in high school: ditched to take college classes instead. My senior year I was only at the high school for two periods two days a week, Monday and Wednesday. I had two college classes on Tuesday and Thursday, and Friday off. It was the only high school year that wasn't horrible.

well the great thing about only doing it in direct response to her stupid comment is that you set yourself up to be conditioned for it. eventually it'll be become and effortless habit to respond to her with that kind of comment every time she attacks you and you won't have to think about it anymore.

Hm.

Well as someone who's spent a lot of time refering to people by shitty names and being a general bully, here's my perspective -

I'd never stop being a bitch to someone because they were all 'dismissive' and shit of me. It'd just make me do it more because I'd know they were trying to be all strong and shit, and it'd just incense me. Plus, it'd be pretty obvious to me that they were just trying to be tough but they'd probably go home and cry. And I'd be all AHAHHAHA you want to fuck with me BIZNATCH rahahahha.

Only thing that has ever made me totally stop is when someone breaks the fuck down in front of me and just cries and shit and is all WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME WHAT DID I DO TO YOU because that's insanely embarrassing. I'd be all ARGH and then avoid them in future because they'd be incredible drama queens and just bitch behind their back instead of to their face.

Okay so that's probably not going to do your street cred any favours though so there's another option -

HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TOTALLY GO APE AT HER AND THEN THERE WILL BE A FIGHT BETWEEN HER AND THEM AND THEN SHe'LL FORGET YOU.

So yeah totally get one of your friends to be a total hoor to her and then there will be FIGHTING and you will escape the taunting.



Or. You know. There's always doing some self-esteem exercises and starting to embrace yourself as the kind of person you are and stopping listening to asshats just generally. Because that is totally the best option although probably the hardest one.

Ignoring perhaps isn't the best solution, but returning with another insult to her is even worse. So she'll insult you, you'll insult her, she'll be pissed, you'll be pissed and you'll indulge in a pointless insult fest until someone gets into a serious trouble (sadly, I can see it being you). If you do want to verbally deal with her, you have to be more subtle.

I think you never said whether she hates you and intentionally wants to hurt you, or she is just dumb and doesn't realise/care that she is hurting you. In first case, I'd probably stick to my friends and try to fight for them. Why losing your friends for one stupid bitch? I say, if you rwally care about those friends (and know they care about you), fight for them, be strong.
If it's the other case, well, I don't know. I have a problem with dealing with stupid people, because nothing you do to them affects them in a way that they realise they asked for it...

I guess before you do anything, you should talk to your friends on one of occasions when she's not around and see what their position is. So, calmed and diplomatic. If they care about you, they might help you either in making her leave or in making her shut up.
If your friends are the only reason you even get in touch with her, then we may assume that they are a solution too.

Also helps having more than one group of friends. Works for me. :wink:

Also, please don't get offended when I say this, and perhaps it's easier for me to say it because I'm actually underweight, but you should try to come to terms with your weight. There are people who accept others as they are, but then there are people who won't be able to pass the fact that you're somewhat overweight and if they're good people, they'll usually try to tiptoe around that. Unfortunately, that kind of people is bad in tiptoing. In other word, it's a kind of issue you'll always have to deal with in your social life and it's better for you if you develop a perspective from which you can ignore that or laugh at it. Being teased is not an excuse because there are a lot of people with the same problem who are able to deal with it, even laugh at it. I know that it's not a problem of the same scale, but I used to be teased because of glasses and nerdish look in grade school. Nowadays, I tend to claim that I'm intentionally developing nerdish look because nerds are in trend.

I second McDuffies when he says come to terms with your weight. Or lose some of it. I've been fat since fourth grade. It never really bothered me, but when I went to college I decided I wanted to be skinny. Three months of hard diet and excersize I was 50 pounds less. It isn't an impossible feat, it just takes a shitload of dedication and will power. Have your boyfirend join you and you two can go for walks-working-up-to-runs.


Or sleep with the emo girls boyfriend and laugh your head off next time you see her.

You could punch her in the face over and over again till she's ugly. But you'd probably get expelled.

I'll have to think about what to do, given the varying advice on this thread. I've ignored her, she's decided it's okay and kept doing it, and it continued to bother me. I came to terms with my weight a long time ago, I've had some of my closest freinds make fun of me for it and I just go with it or even embrace it. But I am sick of hearing this girl talk. It's like she's made of pure ignorance. Even worse, she's making fun of my boyfreind, who's a lot more sensitive about his weight and bottles stuff up a lot more than me. Though I didn't mention it in my first post, she's rude to pretty much everyone. She's mean to all of my freinds, all with self confidence issues, and I can't stand it when people mess with my freinds.

My two cents

Sometime after school, find her when she's alone and be direct. Tell her, "Listen up, you skanky bitch, I've had enough of your shit. Knock it the fuck off, or you and me are going to stop exchanging words and start exchanging punches. You got it?"

If she gives you shit right there, show her you mean it. Punch her right in her fat stupid mouth. Obviously, you should do this outside of school, to avoid expulsion.

This has been your weekly hypocritical advice from a guy who would never had the balls to do what he's sugessting.

Fun Idea, I'd love to do that.

This has been a reply from a girl who's afraid to talk to anyone, librarians even. =P I still really wish I could though, she more than deserves it.

That makes it a lot easier. But why do your friends let her hang around them?

Because there aren't many WoW players in our school, and her boyfreind is one of them, as far as I can tell. There may be other reasons, but I can't read minds.

I'm totally in favor of taking kickboxing lessons, then going Chuck Norris on her ass. *ROUNDHOUSE KICK!*

I was never teased in high school except for a couple of really weird comments that, as far as I can tell, were totally out of left field. Because I am completely oblivious. To pretty much anything. However, my oblivious response actually works pretty well as a deterrent.

"hey LARGE person!"
stop, turn, give her really weird look like she's on crack or something. "hey." continue on way.

Dunno if it'd work, but if you keep giving her looks like she's insane and maybe on drugs, she might stop. Like I said though, it worked for me because I really was completely unaware of anything anyone said about me, and you're not so it may not work for you.

Oh yeah - chuck donuts at her! Donuts are without a doubt the most fun food to throw, as they are fairly aerodynamic and aren't hard, like fruit, so you don't actually injure your opponent. Although this one time my ex-roomie got hit with an apple launched from a fraternity tower while driving by in her car with the window open, and it was fuckin' hilarious. But apples hurt and are more likely to get you in trouble than an innocent donut.
