ALL of my life i've been the kid that gets made fun of by everyone. I HATE it so much because all I want to do is fit in. Even most of my "friends" make fun of me I hate it. They all think i'm gay for some reason and always make gay jokes directed towards me (atleast 3 a day). They also think I'm their bitch and that I'll do everything for them when all they do is make fun of me. Yesterday one of them made my facebook status "I want johnny depp to fuck me so hard that shit falls out of my mouth for years." But thats not the first thing with facebook, they went on and changed my profile picture to a fat guy in a thong and everything in my personal info to things like 'Activities: sucking mad dick' and made an Anti-Fan Club for me. I could go on forever but you get my point. They're all SO twofaced because they NEVER make fun of me when I'm alone with them but when I'm with a group I'm the target of all jokes, i really think this is the reason for my social anxiety. I don't know what to do because they are my only friends but they all make me feel like complete shit and I'm really sick of it and there is nothing I can do to stop it. Sorry for complaining so much.
umm, dude then it sounds like those douchebags need to be cut out of your life. you're only 16 man, you got a LOT to experience still, and there are MILLIONS of different people out there who will be better friends than the ones you're describing. as far as the gay jokes go, are you really gay? if not, then just be secure in your own sexuality. You know what you like, who cares what they think. if you ARE gay, then i gotta tell you you're going to have to get a tougher skin than that. I'm gay, and you try going to high school here in TEXAS of all places as a gay, pot smoking, grunge-dressing teenager. NOW talk about not fitting in lol. I'm just saying that we ALL have times when we feel like we don't fit in, it's as natural a part of growing up as puberty. The only real thing you can do is to cut out the negative people in your life, and make new friends that DON'T make fun of you. just change your facebook/myspace passwords or whatever, change your info and pictures back to normal, and get on with life. If they're calling themselves your "friends", they wouldn't be doing that shit. They're just skid marks on the underwear that is life...time to wash em out and start clean, bud....
There is only one solution. Throw a punch. Put all that anger on them. Now you're gonna get some girls and hippies that will tell you I'm full of shit, but I know what I'm talking about. When I was 13-16 I used to get made fun of too. I dealt with it. People are animals. You need to show them that you're not the bottom bitch. They aren't going to talk shit about you anymore and you need to make them understand it. Even if you get your ass beat, next time they want to fuck with you they'll know they're at least gonna have to take one punch for it. No one wants to take a punch. They'll find an easier target. Act like an alpha-male.
I agree with what this is getting to. You can't just take all this shit and still hang out with them, confront them about all the shit they do to you and stand your ground.
no i'm not gay and there is a couple problems with that, i don't really have other friends and i'm pretty sure i'd just sit inside all weekend if i didnt have them to hang out with.
They pick on you because you take it so personally and they can get a rise out of you. I get picked on and made fun of sometimes but don't take it personally. I work with a bunch of rednecks for the most part so gay jokes are usually flying. If one is made towards me its great, I try and give them a hug or pinch there ass. It always backfires on them. Just be who you are. Don't try and fit in to much with assholes like that.
yes, definitely stand your ground. allowing them to treat you like that is only going to perpetuate it, and you're allowing them to every time you don't stand up for yourself. nobody has the right to treat anyone else like that, not for the reason they're doing it. I'm not sure how well it'd work out for you to actually cause violence and fist-fight someone, but it would DEFINITELY be worth it to verbally stand up for yourself. Don't let yourself be the victim of circumstance...you gotta let them know that what they do/they're doing is unacceptable. besides, any straight guy that hounds another straight guy about being gay over and over and over, only has homosexual issues deep inside that they haven't dealt with yet, so...one of them is probably actually gay....just saying from experience, dude. you gotta find "bullets" of your own to use against them.....
the next to call you gay beat the fuck out of him n ask him how it feels to get shit kicked by a faggot hahahaha
i'm a pacifist and that will probably just make them never want to hang out with me and then i'll just have no friends. and thats why friends was in " ".
who cares if you don't have anyone to hang out with! is it really worth being treated so horribly just to "fit in"?? you can ALWAYS make better friends, ESPECIALLY in boston. they aren't your only chance at having friends...and they aren't even real friends!! it would be worth it to be alone and bored a few weekends before you make some TRUE friends than to force yourself into that kind of situation.....
yeah i guess that's true but why especailly in boston? also yeah i really don't think any of them are true friends with eachother they just hangout so they have people to smoke with, they really don't care about anyone else besides themselves.
i say boston because it's an actual city, where there's a shit-ton of people and things to do, so therefore meeting other people isn't as hard as it is, say here in Lubbock, Texas. I'm just sayin dude, that after everything said and done, all you want are people you can really connect with, be good friends with, and have some TRUE friends to chill with right? Those guys aren't it. If they aren't even friends w/ each other except for the smoking thing, then that's just stupidity on their part. it's a lot easier to cut people out of your life than it sounds. it'll be hard for like a week or two, then you'll think to yourself why you even bothered with them in the first place....
i actually live in a rich suburb of boston that's filled with stuck-up pricks and basically these are some of the only kids there that would hang out with me basically.
lol i've been there, man. i used to live in a rich ass prissy suburb outside of houston....i know the type you're talking about...they're the easiest kind of people to forget about dude lol. most of them are so fake anyways, like the hood i lived in was FULL of rich, stuck up white guys that thought they were the MOST gangster thing to have EVER walked the earth....which just makes it THAT much easier to forget about em! lol....i say just find some activities going on in boston that you like, festivals, whatever's going on, and slowly just start meeting people that have common interests as you...you gotta put yourself out there man, otherwise you'll always be stuck in the suburbian vortex of fake people, and fake friends...
yeah idk though when i'm not being made fun of they act like it's all in good fun and that they all mess with eachother, but they don't.
how long have you lived in that neighborhood? and how long have THEY lived there? cuz when i moved to houston for a lil bit, all the kids in my hood would sometimes get this mindset about having each other's backs because they were together first...i was like the "addition" to the group, and therefore become the first target for just about everything. if it's the same for you, honestly, there's nothing that can be done about that. They will ALWAYS have each other's backs and leave you in the dust. they say it's in "good fun", but it's obviously not good fun to you, otherwise we wouldn't be here ya know? you're worth more than being treated like the outcast loser...if they don't realize that, then THEY are the ones missing out - not you. Just from here in these forums, i could tell u that there's a lot of people who would be willing to chill w/ u if you were in their neck of the woods. yea, pot can be a GREAT starting ground for building friendships, but eventually there has to be something deeper...idk man, just basically tryna say that you're worth more than the time and attention your current "friends" are giving you. you deserve good, real friends, so go get em!
