Q&A for How to Make Fun of Others

Say, "I'd insult you but I'm afraid that I won't do as good a job as nature did."

Laugh it off or just smile and look superior. If you show a negative reaction that lets them know it upsets you, they'll keep doing it. Ignore the action by saying nothing at all, just act as if the person is a slight irritant in your shoe, something you can live with but you're not going to let bother you.

If this person is trying to stop your friend from talking to you, you should encourage your friend to stand up for himself. Aside from that, a standard, "Why don't you mind your own business?" or, "Why are you so obsessed with me?" is usually pretty effective.

You should say, "If I got ringworms, it's because you haven't been leaving me alone. I probably caught them from you!"

You can ignore it, you can make a comment about their looks, or you can tell them that you need a big head because your brain is bigger than theirs, and that's why you're so much smarter than them.

Just walk away. If you can't do that, or if the teasing is really upsetting you, tell an adult.

Fight it with passive aggression. Don't be actively aggressive as passive aggression and sarcasm is more effective.

Yes, to a certain extent. Teasing is enjoyable for both parties - it should be affectionate. Once someone starts feeling badly, the line into cruelty has been crossed.

No. Making fun of someone, even a bully, isn't okay. Find another way to express what you want to say, or just walk away from them.

You should ask them why they're so obsessed with you/your girlfriend, i.e., "Why are you so obsessed with me? Do you spend all your time trying to think of a way to interfere in my relationship? That's sad. You should get a hobby."

Stand up for your friends! Kindly ask the bully to stop, and if they won't, tell an authority figure. Let your friends know that you have their back.

Say, "Hey there's a fly on your neck," then after a second or two, say, "Oh, sorry bro, that's your face!"

Stand up for yourself first, to show you are not impressed with their disrespect and that you're not going to let them keep it up. Tell them something like: "You must feel really big for picking on something you know nothing about. And it's okay if you don't like me––not everyone has good taste." Then say nothing else and walk off. Don't let them see it has gotten to you, remind yourself that you are better and stronger than that. If they keep it up another time, ignore them and perhaps tell an adult or a teacher if you feel it's too much.
