Bounce back from bullying
You answered: Always
Friends should respect, listen to and support each other. And it's not right that your friends are bullying you. Even if they say they're only joking. You deserve to be treated well by your friends.
When someone says something nasty about the way you look, your religion, sexuality or culture, it says more about them than it does about you. Sometimes people say nasty things because they feel insecure or scared, or they don't know how it might make you feel. But it's still not ok.
It can help to tell your friend how you feel, or to show that what's happening isn't ok. It can be hard saying what's on your mind, so think about the right time or place to say something.
