This mean girl in my class always calls me fat and ugly. What can I say back because she keeps embarrassing me in front of other people at school?

Hey, I receive three emails a week from girls who tell me they are being called fat and ugly. I think you would have to be a pretty ugly person on the inside to go around saying such cruel things to people. Below are a few things you can say if someone tries to embarrass you or make you feel bad in public.

Comebacks if people call you ugly
- Too bad you can’t Photoshop your ugly personality
- Please, my hair straightener is hotter than you.
- Maybe some of you girls should eat make-up, so you’re pretty on the inside.
- I’m sure that 90% of your “beauty” could be removed with a Kleenex.
- I think you’re pretty…. stupid!

Comebacks if people call you fat
- I may be chubby, but chubby can slim down, but ugly just can’t be fixed.
- Fat is a temporary caloric imbalance, but stupid is a permanent genetic malfunction!
- Be careful, I ate the last person who commented on my weight!
- All the better to sit on you.

School friendly things you can say
- Please cancel my subscription; I have had enough of your issues.
- You would be much more likable if it wasn’t for that hole in your mouth that noise comes out of.
- You should come with a warning label.
Don’t let some idiot’s opinion define you, just because someone says something about you doesn’t mean that it’s true.
Wishing you all good things.
