Hi everyone!

Hope you all have the p!ss talking of me out of your systems now!

Aw - don't worry sweetie - tomorrow it will be someone else.....

Like me!

Btw - good advice....TRUST me....from a respected source....

Here is a recommended strategy for dealing with put downs:

"In the first instance, IGNORE IT. In many cases the person may try a few times to put you down but, once it becomes obvious there will be no reaction, will stop. Other people will respect you for it (for being "mature enough" to ignore it). NB: Don't let yourself "feel bad" (such reactions reward the put-down behaviour). Think: "I'll rise above it.""

If you stop being defensive when someone questions your judgement you will find there is less scope for teasing. If you ARE teased anyway, it is attractive to show a good humour towards it - someething you already do often, incidentally. Don't jump to the conclusion that all teasing is meant maliciously - it can be a sign of friendship too. You have to admit that many on here are older and have more experience of life. Respect that and you will gain more respect yourself. Next time you feel under pressure, my advice to you would be to leave that thread, stop contributing and instead comment on another thread that is not so personal to yourself. Others will like you for it and it shows that you are interested in other people and other issues.

Take care, BB, my friend from up the road!
