So there is this group of guys in my class that keep messing with me. They saw me out in public a couple weeks ago and I was crying so I started yelling at them cause they were making fun of me that I was crying. I told them to Shut up and get a life. They are all in my class and saying what I said to them in a mocking voice. And they won't leave me alone! They are getting the whole class to do it. The only people who aren't doing it are my friends. Basically and every time someone sees me they do the imitation of me. Today it got so bad that when the bell rang I stormed out of class got my stuff and went to the bathroom crying. It may not seem bad. But I've been bullied my whole life and I've had it. I need some Good Comebacks to say to them so they leave me alone.Thanks in advance!. Created by Anonymous. social-science-import - sociology-import

Unfortunately, comebacks often depend heavily on what was said.

Having general comebacks are cliched and don't carry much weight.

If these bullies continue to harass you, more than likely you'll need different comebacks as a result of different insults.

Just remember

1) Take a breath

2) Pick through what they said for comeback gold

3) Formulate a retort that subtly (or not) casts them in a negative light

4) Deliver it in a calm, clear, bored manner. like a boss.

if you can't think of anything. roll your eyes and sigh.

i've never been very good with comebacks. so i stick with "comic relief" instead...

like maybe i'l say "oh yeah?" to EVERY thing they say, even when it doesn't make sense. or a quick "that's what your MOM said last night!"

it really doesn't matter if it makes sense or not. it'll confuse them long enough that they'll stop and see the other people around you laughing, and they'll lose interest in you. or hit you.

but honestly, the "hitting" thing is bound to happen eventually. people like that just HATE being one-upped by anyone smarter than them. finding a good comeback is bound to bring you nothing but pain.

when it comes down to it, these people are just idiots, and should be left to their stupidity (as long as it's not affecting the lives of others). after all: WHO CARES what idiots like that think of you? would stooping down to their level really make things better? they are just TRYING to get a reaction out of you, for their OWN sick pleasures.

simply walk away smiling and say "i really don't feel like dealing with you right now" or something. if they say you're just afraid, say "whatever you say...". once they reaize they can't get any response from you they will leave you alone.

and if they come up to you, and interrupt your talking with friends, say "sorry, this was an "A and B" conversation. please "C" your way out of it!"

ultimately, if you ignore a bully, he will leave you alone, since he is only bullying to make himself feel better. if he would just try to get along, people might see HIS weakness, so he beats them to the punch, and points out what HE sees as weakness in you.

if all else fails, simply ask him what he wants, and why torturing someone brings him such joy. being the "seesaw psychologist" i am, i always try to help people find the reasons for why they do what they do. it helps not only YOU, but the person as well, find their harmony and happiness, without ANYBODY getting hurt over it...
