Sometimes people tease each other in good humor. But if it's making you sad, let them know. If they keep teasing you knowing it's making you sad, then it's not okay at all.

That depends on your situation. If you're messing around then just laugh with them, if they're serious then it's not okay and you should talk with them about your feelings about it.

If it is making you feel uncomfortable or bringing you down you should tell them you don't appreciate it, and if they don't stop then it's not okay.

No, its not okay for your family to make fun of you if it hurts your feelings. Hurting others' feelings is wrong.

Hmm I don't think so. They are the most important people in your life and the words they say to you really affect you, so they should consider what they say to their family. Sometimes it's okay if it's light-hearted and not extended to hurt someone. But I a good healthy family should understand what's right and what's wrong. But that's my opinion and I'm sure others agree too. If it hurts you, them making fun of you. I think you should speak to someone you trust about this matter because it's not good to keep it in. Wish you the best 💖

No. It is never okay for anyone to make sure of you for whatever you may be struggling from, regardless of if you told them about it yourself or they found out another way.

It's not but sometimes family members can be mistaken for making fun of someone close when they were trying to tease them!

If you are not comfortable with the situation then it is best to share those feelings so that the behavior is adjusted. Some people can be intending to be funny and not understand that words can be hurtful.

Depends how so. A lot of people make fun at everyone. With them it's mutual and healthy and not serious. If they're genuinely upsetting you then it's probably a good idea to let them know how much it's hurting you. If you're genuinely upset then any good family would stop as soon as they found out.
