What to do about an embarrassing nickname?

My sister told her friends that my mom sometimes calls me Paulie Poo so now they all call me that to embarrass me. I try to ignore it but they won't stop. What do I do about this embarrassing nickname?|||At least she didn't call you it in front of you're entire class.|||Tell them also jokingly the nickname that your mom calls your sister. Also, if they know it bothers you and you react,they will keep it up. Perhaps you can talk to your mom about your sister and her friends and your sister can then put a stop to it.


Chances are they are calling you this because they like you. Girls like to tease boys. Are you older or younger than your sister and her friends. I am not saying it is right but again talk to your mom and see what she can do from her end.|||If it really bothers you alot, whenever they call you Paulie Poo ignore them completely, that means not answering theirs questions, show no reaction to their presence as if you dont really care they are there, disdain things you cannot have, they will get the idea, that its not cool, also read the book "The 48 laws of power" it may help you understand why they do that. Good luck and dont be embarrassed, and dont tell them it bothers you.|||well, you already tried to ignore it, so that's out of the question.. but there are still more things you could do:


-tell them to stop, that you don't like when they call you "paulie poo"


-(this may not be the best idea).. but give them a nickname?


-and like other people have been saying, its not embarrassing unless you think it is.. and really, if you can't laugh at yourself, then you can you laugh at?


-think of it as a joke, don't take it personal, and I know it is going to be really hard to just ignore it but if you keep it up, it'll eventually wear off.


|||Sometimes when there is nothing that you can do verbally, you have to do something to teach the other person a lesson.





Pull a really satisfying prank on your sister when she and her friends embarrass you. It will totally make you feel better, and might even help you look forward to when they are jerks to you because then you can do something back in retaliation. |||we call my sister steens


(its my fault. apprantly i was dumb as 1 1/2 year old and couldnt enunciate cristina)


and she HATES it


we dont use it much but my mom still uses it


so sorry they never go away


My uncle also calls me "fifi' still because when i was five i had this bright red coat and beret i wore.......


odd nickname i know


my mom used to call me cupcakes- but it didnt embarass me


then again she hasn't used it since i was 11


and yeah and as its your sisters friends- when will the ridicule stop- probably never- or atleast until they mature and realize its not funny to use a kiddie word like 'poo'|||hmm... Tell your sister not to tell anyone else firstly, then have your mom stop calling you embarrassing nicknames. Then if you want, you can find out about an embarrassing nickname of your sister's, or make one up, or explain the nickname to her friends.





Or you could simply laugh it off, and say it was something your mom said when you were like five.|||i wouldn't worry about it, i think it's cute! haha. if it was some bad name i would just tell them you don't really think it's funny when they call you that, but since it's just a cute little harmless nickname, i would just deal with it, it'll blow over and become not so funny to them within about 2 months i'm guessing.|||First, tell your mom to stop calling you that in order to try to take care of the problem for the future. Next, don't react to them when they call you Paulie Poo. If you don't react they'll stop. Also, there really isn't anything wrong with girls giving you attention. Enjoy it!|||aaaw cute! Try calling them something embarassing. they'll get the same feeling if it's real embarassing. but don't do it like, "Oh yeah! How do you feel about me calling you Penny Pee! Huh!!?" When they call you that say it nicely, "Ok --------" They'll get the message.|||my name is tahir, it means pure, chaste, clean do you have a nickname for me?


i cnat believe you posted this question what do you want me to tell you? slap the guy who called you on the head!


cant you make a decision yourself and stop using yahoo answers for little things!|||Well, just laugh with them... and don't let it bother you. I have an embarrassing one too. But yeah... get over the fact that you hate it, and just agree. They only do it to make you mad and get a reaction... don't give them the reaction they want|||Ignore it and it may go away.


If not just accept it and grow into a bitter, cloistered, pathetic person who's only contact with the outside world is via the internet. I've known people like that, really.

2. ignore them until they stop (no guarantees that they will...)


3. make them feel guilty


4. find new freinds


5. say "well at least my mom loves me!"





aweeeh i think thats cuteeeee!!


|||Just go along with it and pretend that you like it...eventually they will know that it doesnt bother you. everyone calls me short and i hate it cuz im 13 and only 5feet, but i pretend that i love being short and then they stopped.|||Don't make a big deal about it and it will lose interest eventually.


Or tell them that you don't appreciate you calling you that.





If they don't stop, you'll just have to get over it.





Sorry.





I know how you feel though.|||You could either give them a more distasteful one, and when they ask you to stop calling them that then you would ask the same of them. Or just don't answer to it until they use your real name. |||They'll lose interest if you just don't react to it. they're trying to get a rise out of you, so just ignore it and it'll stop eventually.|||people say that to make you feel sad if you have no reaction to it theyll stop and end up embarrasing themselves when they call you that just say whatever...or something or call them an even more embarrasing name which isnt the best way tho|||i think its a cool nickname


but if you really dont like them calling you it


then make something up for them and see how they like being called whatever you name them


then see if they stop


hope it helps :] good luck |||Tell them that you don't like it and you want them to stop, say it with a serious face.





Uhm, one of my nicknames is Pus$y =P|||The grown up thing to do would be to tell them to stop





BUT if i were you i would spread i lie about your sister to get her


back its ****** up but she started it |||just cope with it, just think its funny how immature your sisters friends are being, make up nicknames for them if you want or leave it and eventually it will go away, you could try talking to your sister|||Pretend it does not bother you. The worst thing you can do is show them how much you dislike it.





Good luck.|||omg i have a nickname my mom gave me when i was little. Pumpkin Butt. omg my friends were jerks about it. They will lay off soon. |||Make one up for them
