Teasing from friends Options

[SimplicityGirl]

So I have this...crush on one of my close guy friends. And we hang out together a lot and do things together. Some of my friends...like to tease about us a lot. And I don't mean those harmless little jokes that goes along the lines of "Ooooh...you like so and so" and all the nudging and staring that goes on whenever he comes into view. They make really perverted jokes about it. Like one time I was wearing this rather billowy dress, and they said "Wearing that for *insert crush name*? Easy access for him right?"...and it's just stuff like that. They accuse me of "flirting" with him whenever I hang out with him...and it's getting to the point where I'll try to avoid them so they don't bring up the topic of me and my crush. It's getting really annoying too...when they accuse me of doing everything with him.

So I guess what I'm really trying to ask is...how do I let them know that I don't like it? I've tried telling them, tried blocking them on MSN, tried avoiding them, tried shrugging it off, tried to act indifference to it...but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

if i were you.. the next time they said something like the..

"Wearing that for *insert crush name*? Easy access for him right?"

i would say like "um okay. i'm not the one wearing (whatever they are wearing)!" and if they keep nudging you & you REALLY REALLY cant stand it, i would say like "dudeeeee. stop it! what is your problem! do you like him or something?" but that's just me

You probably don't want to get an adult involved, but if it gets really serious, maybe you should consider that. Tell your friends (preferably in person) how you feel - make sure they take it seriously. Tell them you don't like their teasing and you're serious about the fact that it's really starting to bug you. If they don't take you seriously and keep doing it after that, well, that's a problem. Good luck.

Give them the finger.
haha. kidding.
But thats what I would do.
Or ask them whats it to them?
In my opinion, they`re just really nosy.

When they start doing it stop, look (cut them off if you want) and say "Excuse me is there a problem here? I mean seriously, I'm starting to think there's some animosity goin around concerning me and my guy friend and I'd gladly appreciate it if someone steps up to the plate, stop the BS, and let me know." And then look concerned and then calm. And then they will look stupid and then realize how jealous they are of you and him and say "nothing..." knowing it is lies, they will know that you know what's up, then they won't do it again.

Or say "wow, you seem to be more concerned about him than I am."
Sometimes friends need to be put in that little line.

Changing your comfort zone for one who is teasing you or being negative towards you is a no-no, girl. Your friends should be the last people you have to hide from. If they don't like it, they need to get away from you two, they must like something or want something you two have if they are still right there staring. They so don't know how to cover up their jealousy.

[*This Confession*]

If you really like them as friends then I wouldn't go as far as avoiding them, unless you really need a break from them. I would tell them to quit it and tell them what you think of it and if they don't quit. Then I would understand if you wanted to avoid them for a little while. So perhaps they would get the point.


My friends never went that far, my friend Justin ever since 7th grade and I just went back to highschool and people still ask if were brother&sister or if we go out. Its pretty odd and sometimes someone will drop a lame joke. I just shrug it off because I don't let most things people say mess with me.


Listen to Bobby his advice seems pretty good.

lol that same thing happend to me yesterday. they all said why dont you go back to your girlfreind huh. then my brother was like "YEAH! go back to NAME!!" they dont understand, she has a month left of california so i wanna spend the most time i can with her. well you know what, the day before yesterday! i got an essay allready... we are freshmans and ms.chaney gave us a subject. it was from opras magazine. a girl loved the story her teacher told her. she wrote the report 3 days early with twice the pages. and people were like who does she think she is? or she think shes so smart. and the girl that was being told that, she rememberd that dr.phils idea of leveling.. his idea of leveling was people are just jealous. they want to reduce you to a level that they want you to be. lowering your self esteem... what they realy mean by saying "who does she think she is?" that actually means "who do i think im not" so like sure they are playing around, but they dont know you, seeing how you asked this in a post like i always do, your really shy. thish will work. say "STOP! Thats not funny you f#@%ing jerks." how would you like it if i embaress you with a lie.m
