How can I be confident in myself?

Question

It's a pathetic question, I know.
But, seriously. I have two younger brothers who are horrible to me. They will call me fat, talk about tampons, call me ugly, and stupid to my face. It's terrible, and it's really hurting me.
Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't do it where they do it. I'll be walking to the bus, and they will put down the window and yell in front of EVERYONE, "Hurry up fatty!" Or, "Run, *****, run!"
It's embarrising. How can I stop it form hurting me so much? I have come home crying the past two days, and I'm stuck. I don't know what to do.
Please help me :(

one of your parents or guardians needs to beat those kids ***.... if you feel like you are over weight start a new diet so that when you hear them say stuff like that then you don't feel bad you will have a smug confidence that you are going to lose weight,... and if that doesn't work start calling the youngest a bed wetter and the oldest a gay porn perv.... haha that will shut them up.... Get creative.... Comebacks "Ok im fat.. but that doesn't explain why i caught you spying on mom and dad in the shower... "I heard you breathing hard saying _________ (insert ulgy girls name here) over and over again last night....

Dont listen to what your brothers say. Try not to focus negatively on how your brothers perceive you.


Act confident, even if you don't truly feel it. After a while, it will come naturally, and you will feel confident in yourself! Also, learn to not care what your brothers think of you. If you let what your brothers say to you bring you down, you will never be happy.



Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet. Don't abuse your body, don't overload it, and don't deny it any of the things it needs.

Make a list of special talents you have, or things you do that are good Focusing on your attributes helps distract you from those parts of yourself that you think are flawed. It doesn't have to be a specific skill or activity either; it can be an approach or an attitude that you champion through life.


Find your passion. Whether it's baton twirling, martial arts, classic cars, musicianship, or basket weaving, you will feel confident pursuing that endeavor by recognizing what you enjoy doing the most. More importantly, you'll be enjoying your progress.

Good luck!

Simple....

They are bullying you.

If they think they can get away with it without you doing anything about it then most probably they will continue. All you have to do is get them back, do something that hurts them. Your the older one so you probably can hurt them more than they can hurt you.

When you get back at them they will probably up the stakes and hurt you again. If they do then hurt them again. Let this process happen several times.

When they finally understand that if they hurt you then you will hurt them back then they will be far less likely to bully you. This process will be unpleasant but necessary.

It's a shame that your brothers are so cruel to you and that you have to play this anti-bully game.
