Remind yourself why you are more than that label. Think of all the ways you are not that label. Realize that you know yourself better than that name caller ever will.

The best way to recover from name calling is to realize that the person who's calling you names does not see you for the beautiful person you are. If they are content with labeling you, then they're obviously not worth your time and energy. :) Let it slide off of your back, and after a bit of letting it just slide off, it won't matter anymore! You'll find loving and caring people who'll call you what you want to be called, be it your name or a nickname! :)

Look in the mirror and call yourself the exact opposite of the names that people called you. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that beautiful, funny, a good person, etc. The more you tell yourself these things, the more you'll start to believe it eventually.

When it happened to me, I told my mom. She told my principal. I and my bully got called separately to the office. He didn't call me names after that incident. He was told to apologize to me but he didn't. I didn't care though. He stopped calling me names and that was all I cared about.

Name calling can really be detrimental to people with low self-esteem and who are self-conscious about themselves. One way to recover is try not reflect on it, and realize your self-worth. The person who is name calling is trying to prove something and it sucks that you have to be the bait. Don't let it consume your thoughts. Be positive and kill them with kindness. Kindness always prevails.

Name calling is horrible and I'm sorry if you're dealing with that. Try to remember that what they're saying isn't true and they're doing it for a reaction. Don't give a reaction to them and try to not let it get to you. I know that's hard but you can't let that ruin your life. Also try speaking to someone about it, maybe someone who would try to stop the name calling, or someone who can reassure you that they're just bullies and what they're saying doesn't reflect on you as a person. They try to pick on people they think it will effect the most, or people who won't stand up for themselves.

personally, i think that letting it all pass is the best one can do. ignoring them and being mature with dealing with the name callers is one i did in the past (though i still get some name calls every now and then) and i return the favor by letting it out in a joke.

Best thing to do is ignore them, they will eventually get bored because you are giving them no reaction. If you must reply then be kind please, you don't want to add fuel to the fire.

Remember, most bullies have underlying issues that lead them to act poorly to others. Some of those issues may be from a dysfunctional family, a need to be in control, or in some cases mental issues. Be kind to them in return if you can. Otherwise, be the bigger person and don't respond. Most name calling is an action LOOKING for a reaction. Eliminate the reaction, and the action will eventually stop.
