Makes fun of name.

A girl at school makes fun of my last name. I try to joke about it, but it's really annoying. What should I do?

If joking doesn't work, try simply ignoring her. If you do not pay any attention when she teases you, she may get bored and leave you alone.

You could also try talking to this girl about her behavior. Let her know that it bothers you when she makes fun of your name and ask her to please stop doing it. It could be that she doesn't realize that her behavior is upsetting you.
