Insensitive Friends!

Dear Fany,

I seem to be having some problems with my friends. They tease me relentlessly. Sometimes I feel I am just there so they have someone to laugh at. I really love them and only demonstrate the highest quality of friendship. What should I do?

We all have funny stories or quirks that people like to tease us all about. Some have more funny stories or quirks than others. I believe your friends only tease you because they feel they can laugh and be comfortable with you. But, I believe teasing can go too far. Friends need to know if they have crossed the line or have become insensitive. I believe teasing is usually all in good fun-but sometimes it is easier to take than at other times. Let your friends know if you are hurt or offended by their remarks or teasing. If they are true friends-they will listen to you.

Also, if you didn't do so many embarrassing things then your friends wouldn't have so much to tease you about! It's great for those of us who never do anything embarrassing!
