what to say if people make fun of the way you look

We all have something different about us that someone else might consider funny looking. Maybe you have big ears or a big nose, or you are tall and stand out from the crowd. We could all be made of fun for the way we look.

Wherever you go in the world, people have different definitions of what they consider attractive. In France, they appreciate unconventional beauty. In Brazil and South America, they appreciate a big bottom, and in Myanmar, they stretch out their necks, which is considered beautiful.

We see celebrities all glammed up in a magazine looking beautiful. It is easy to believe that you’re not so hot. The difference is celebrities have an army of people helping them look that way.

Some people are jerks, and they put other people down to feel better about themselves. If someone insults the way you look, it may be hurtful but don’t listen to the idiot. It is only their warped opinion.

If you want to let the person who insulted you know they aren’t so hot themselves, use one of our comebacks below.

Even some of the most beautiful women in the world have called funny looking when they are growing up.  Mila is happy now and says she grew into her strong features, as she shared with the Independent, it wasn’t always the case.

I was always the smallest in my class. I’ve learned it wasn’t a bad thing to be picked on because when you’re little it seems awful like it’s the end of the world.

I grew into my face. I had a very funny looking face when I was little. I had like big eyes, big lips, big ears. But when I was little I was constantly being made fun of for having big eyes and that was awful. I used to come home crying: ‘Why do I have big eyes?’ And my parents were like: ‘You’re crazy!’

Well, look who’s laughing now, Mila is married to Ashton Kutcher, one of the most successful men in Hollywood, and has two beautiful children.

  1. We are all born with our own special uniqueness and individuality and nobody has the right to demean or bully anybody. When I was growing up kids in school called me funny looking and said that I looked like a “trip”. It used to make me feel bad or insecure but when I grew Older I started looking at myself of being different in a positive instead of in a negative way.

  2. My favorite is that you look about as sloppy as James Charles singing God is a Woman. Or that you are about as fake as Laura LEe’s tears

  3. If my looks were that funny then why do you pay attention to it? Is it for fun or are you really just desperate for attention.
