No Name Calling Week on January, 2025: Name calling at school?

No Name Calling Week 2025. Words Do Hurt - Name-Calling Isn't A Joke‎ Think Before You Speak!

Name calling at school?

The purpose of name calling is to upset you and make you feel bad. If it doesn't bother you, then there's no point in doing it. So you need to show that it doesn't bother you. The best way to show that it doesn't bother you is to laugh about it... "Haha, yeah I used to do that, but I don't anymore." If he keeps doing it, just shrug it off, roll your eyes and laugh AT him, because it's old news and it's no big deal to you anymore.
