No, it's not. Your family is supposed to make you feel good about yourself, not make you feel bad.

I grew up like this. I had older siblings and everyone made fun of me. It hurt. My perception was that they were trying to hurt me on purpose when I was younger. Now, I perceive it as they were just having fun, but it was still at my expense. I don't believe they meant to hurt me. Does that make it right? Not necessarily, this is up to you and what you are willing to allow in your life. If you do not like it, then could you speak up and tell them that is important for them to stop. You also could reflect to see how this is affecting you and then set some boundaries with your family.

I was made fun of really bad when I was younger. It really made me insecure and depressed. Or added to the depression I already had. You should tell them how you feel because anything someone says or does to you that hurts you or upsets you is not okay.

It is not okay for the to make fun of you. If you dont like it you need to tell them. They need to know how it is making you feel and how it is affecting you. If you struggle to talk to them about this try writing them a note.

If the jokes are making you feel bad about yourself, then no, it's not okay. You could try to say something about it to your family and talk it out. There could be chance they don't know they are hurting you. Bringing it up might clear up any concerns you have.

No its not okay until it is truly a joke. Joking and making fun about a person might make you feel totally worthless. And if your family is doing that please stand up for yourself. Don't let yourself get bullied-family or not. Live life the way its supposed to be lived. :)

Depends what kinda fun. If its fun that you are okay with like just pulling your legs kinda fun then thats okay, But if it turns to bullying or leaving your emotions damaged then its not okay.

Absolutely not. While you may or may not have the best relationship with your family members, there is no reason or excuse for them to ever make fun of you. Family should not intentionally cause each other emotional distress, no matter what the functional level of the relationship may be.

If it's something innocent and a joke you can laugh about too, then yes. If it clearly makes you more uncomfortable than it should and focus's on your weight/gender/sexuality/grades/job/etc, than no
