The best way I think, from experience, is knowing that what they are saying is abosolutly not true. Most people try to put others down because they're jealous. Don't let anyone tear you down. Your amazing just the way you are.💕

Not paying attention. Saying that there's no need for all of that, and that conversation is not healthy at all.

Ignore them. It doesn't matter what people call you. You know who you are. You know what you have done. You are the expert on you. No one else.

Ignore it .They will stop it because they will become tired while you becomes stronger.Be ready to see them becoming weak after seeing that you are not affected.

The people who call you names, they don't care about you. What they say is downright mean, and though it hurts, know that those people are just being mean and that it's not your fault they targeted you.

Filter those nasty names; an insult is a compliment wrapped in spikes. Don't fight fire with fire, though, as you don't know what they could be going through!

The best way to get over someone calling you nasty names is to remind yourself that the person may be going through terrible things at home. Ignore the person, they will eventually stop.

You have probably heard "They're just jealous" before, but that might be exactly why they do that. Just remember you are fantastic and that person doesn't know what they're messing with!

My answer is a cliché one, you can just ignore them. It works well! But to be honest, it's not that easy. You can start off by thinking that their opinions on you don't really matter. You're you, and you don't need to care about someone else thinking you're fat, ugly, weird, or more. You don't need someone else's approval to love yourself.

People like to do horrible things to another because they like the feeling of being better and more powerful than you. If you let these people get the better of you- make you angry or sad- than they have accomplished their goal. In my personal experience, I always remind myself of who I am. So what if other people judge me? I am who I am, and if people don't like it then they don't have to talk to me or try to bring me down. Staying true to myself is more valuable to me than what someone else may call me.

You need to learn to differentiate truth from lies. Many a times, the nasty names are not the truth, and you know this. Hold strong to your beliefs and don't let the false words of others bring you down.

Know that bullying and name-calling are being done by people who are broken. You'll also have to understand that you are more than what you experience. Be the bigger person and learn how to forgive. Don't let them make you feel inferior.

Not giving them reactions is the only way. Only if they trigger you you want to say something, it will only trigger there enthusiasm to keep calling you names.

Talk to a relative or close friend and see what they can do about it. It really just depends on the situation, and where this is happening!!

For me, it's just ignoring them and proving them that you don't deserve that nasty names that they are giving you. I've encountered those times. Bullies more likely to bully you more when they find it fun or they found out that you are getting weaker and weaker everytime they bully you. I know its hard, it really is. But I hope there is someone who is there for you physically. Love lots!

Never let them get to you or your happiness/confidence. People are capable of saying mean things but its your job to learn to love yourself and be confident.

Ignore them! We've all been called a nasty name but it isn't worth your time! Be positive! No one can make you feel bad about yourself unless you let them!
