Search Results: getting over being hurt

As a child I never liked April Fool's Day because I thought it was a day that people were mean. And also play tricks. I got told to lighten up and it's just a joke. One time when I was in Middle School some of my classmates put a whoopee cushion on my chair and sat on it and made a farting sound.
All my classmates were laughing at me. Some said, "April Fool's" and I got so mad. One boy was like "Oh come on we're just kidding! Can't you take a joke?" My teacher told me that I need to stop getting angry over a little joke and I need to just laugh it off. I got teased so much I started crying. Well I ran to the bathroom and started crying so hard. Then some knew I was crying and they call me a huge cry baby they can't take a joke.
I mean I can take some jokes better now but sometimes it hurts me up at even though I knew they were joking. Today one of my uncle's thought he saw his phone on the table but it was mine. He was like, "I wasn't trying to take your phone ESMIE." I laughed and said, "I know." Then he said, "Well back off."
I know he was joking but that kind of hurt me when he told me to back off. My family would tease me so much. Even when I was a little girl I'll get picked on so much and I didn't understand why I was getting picked on the most. My dad said that I better learn to take a joke and sarcasm and jokes run in the family and that's why I'm no fun cuz I take everything seriously and it's just for the fun.
My brother is even said that I'm to something nice and I need to have a backbone and push back a bit.
I'm a preferred a smile and be happy but I'm also a serious person sometime.
