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

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

Comebacks if people call you fat

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

School friendly things you can say

  1. Please cancel my subscription; I have had enough of your issues.
  2. You would be much more likable if it wasn’t for that hole in your mouth that noise comes out of.
  3. 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.

Bryn
