So, yeah, I know how you feel, even though they never bullied me or anything, but I always felt like a loser around those people. The thing is, the relationships you have with people don't change with time, if you stop having contact with them It is like they get frozen. The only solution, I'm afraid, is to avoid them as much as you can. Maybe move to another town.

Some people are just plain mean and dont grow up. I certainly wouldn't let people laughing at me affect my self esteem.
The way I see life is, Everyone is different and were equally flawed and we equally have good qualities. I appreciate its not easy to see life like that because most people look up to someone or aspire to be like someone or envy someone. But you need to work on your inner confidence and the things you feel you dont like about yourself either work to change or learn to love them.

Dont let it get to you. Its as easy as that. A person is only as weak as he or she believes they are. It may be annoying but in your mind you can laugh at the fact that these people are laughing at you in order to boost their self esteem, which makes the more pathetic then you could possible be.

 You are always going to come across bullies and haters. All you can do is ignore them. Don't let your selfesteem depends on what others think about you. You should love your self and think highly on the person that should matter more to you "YOU".

 Hi im still at school.. my last year.
I have been bullied when i was younger now ive learnt to stick up for myseld, but people do still say things about me. Even tho i have a lot of friends. You probobly had the same problem as i do. Seriously tho just ignore them people because they are total idiots! Just tell them to get a grip of them self and act their age. It lets people no to back off because you arnt taking any crap.
Hope i helped :) Goood luck
