I think in some cases, honesty is the best policy. A lot of family members care about you and mean no harm, and are just unaware they are hurting you. So just letting them know you are uncomfortable with something they say should do the trick in cases like that

Teasing can be very shaming...and it can affect your self-esteem. Maybe if you talk to them from this standpoint, telling them how the teasing is actually affecting you, might help them to stop this unhelpful behaviour. It really is a form of bullying.

I would approach them and tell them that their words hurt me and I'd like them to not make fun of me.

Sit them down and tell them you want to discuss something serious to you. Tell them how you feel and they will understand and hopefully change their actions.

Being blunt about it works very well. Don't dance around the subject, make sure they know that what they have said has hurt you, and hopefully they will listen and not do it again.

You tell them straight up, You make sure you make your point and keep a straight face so that they know you're being serious, Families shouldn't make fun of each other unless it's just a bit of teasing and joking around.

Maybe you could sit one of your family members down one you feel comfortable speaking with, letting them know that being made fun off is just not settling right with you and if when it happens again they let the rest know....

Tell them straight, it is the only way in a family matter. Opening up and informing that you are just not comfortable with it.

Talk to them one on one, or have a family meeting. It's hard to be taken seriously right after they say it, but if you come to them after awhile, they'll know it's been on your mind lately.
