Dear Teentalker,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns.
It can hurt a great deal when people make fun of you and that, too, based on your appearance. As humans, as teenagers, we all long to be loved by our near and dear ones, especially our peers, because they are the ones who seem to matter the most during teen years.
So, when peers or people whom you consider to be your friends start making fun of you, it can definitely hurt a great deal and make you question your sense of self-worth. But always, remember that 'no one can make you feel bad without your consent'. So, never stop believin.....

So, when peers or people whom you consider to be your friends start making fun of you, it can definitely hurt a great deal and make you question your sense of self-worth. But always, remember that 'no one can make you feel bad without your consent'. So, never stop believing in yourself and always know that you're worth it, no matter what! Stay focused on your self-worth by working on this tool 'You are so worth it'.
When you're being bullied, it is also the time to take a step back and re-evaluate and figure out the reason why this is happening. This is also the time for you to rise above all the negativity you're facing right now, by staying focused on your short-term and long-term goals. I would also urge you to treat this unfortunate experience as feedback and try to see if there is anything you can do to improve the situation. For example, you can make a list of things in life you can control and those which you cannot control and figure out ways to start a healthy fitness regime. The other thing you can do is get to know yourself better by writing down 20 things you love about yourself and Boost your self-esteem. You can download the tools by clicking on the toolbox tab.
Finally, to know more about bullying and how to deal with bullies, please go through the bullying tab.
