' friends. And, where did it get you’’ They are still teasing you, aren’t they .’ ; Teenagers, particularly boys, it seems, like to tease More often than not; it is done good natured !ly Think of it this way: if people did not like you, they wouldn't go to the “bother" of teasing you This is true in most instances It must be admitted that there are some whb are just bad mannered and ill-tempered and who look for i

an excuse to tease everybody because they don't have much confdem * in themselves and the way othei s feel about them. Confidence is an important word. Even some adults never acquire confidence They go through life with their feelmgs "showing on then sleeves," extremely sensitive about what ttiey believe othvis are thinking and saying about them. The individual who has confidence in himself or herself recognizes unjust criticism (or teasing) and faces it with a knowing smile. The l>est way to stop your friends from teasing you is to stop letting youi self be bothered by their teasing. (t Another approach to the problem of the teaser is to tease him or her right back Usually such an ndividual is extremely sentitnc to any kind of criticism.
