Confidence, if it doesn't appear to bother you then teasing will stop or decrease at least. Learn how to stick up for yourself also, tell them where to stick it.

Have you spoken to anyone about it? I think the people that bully you are narrow-minded prats, quite frankly. As the post above says... try not to let it show that it bothers you. :smile:

Aww bless!! The best you can do is just laugh it off when you blush. My Mum and I both blush at the stupidest things.

my friend is just like you, we used to call him Blusher until we matured lol. How old are you btw? coz im sure they'll soon get bored of it after a while, we sure did lol. You can always stand upto them or something or best yet just stay away from them, if they dont find you they cant pick on you no?

I have a similar problem. I blush at the simplest thing, even when I'm not embarrassed and every time I answer questions in class I blush, even though answering the question doesn't bother me.
Is it your friends who are saying things? If it is then I'm sure they will be more understanding if you have a word with them about it, saying it annoys you. If it is serious bullying then have a word with a teacher (I'm presuming you are in school?)
Good luck.

It's really easy to say to someone 'try not to let it bother you' but let's face it.... it obviously DOES bother the poor chap....

The silver lining IS.... everything will change in a year or so (presuming you're going to university!)

Whilst there is no firm assurance that this teasing will stop.... you'll have a nice amount of friends to choose from and i'm sure it will subside somewhat when everyone grows up a little bit.

The fact that they're bullying you over blushing, proves what a complete waste of human life they are.

I wouldn't worry about bullying that much - unless it's physical, and then tell someone about it - I was bullyed at school for being a 'geek' and once I got to college/uni and they ended up working in a shoe shop or on the dole with 3 kids I felt a whole lot better :biggrin:

Just remember that they are only bullying you because they have issues with themselves and it just doesn't matter in the long run.

Turns out a guy that used to bully the 'geeky' guys calling them gay etc was actualy gay and obviously had a problem with it. Funny how it turned out to be deep rooted hatred for himself. People always say thats the reason but it turns out it's true :rolleyes:

Just act confident. I am the most unconfident person you'll meet but when I put that confidence I can do anything. I can sing and be laughed at the first time I do it but the second they get bored and just laugh along with me.

I used to blush A LOT, for something as small as just a girl I didn't really know talking to me. It was always loads worse when someone goes "OMG HES GONE SO RED!!" and then someone else pipes up "HE FANCIES YOU" kind of thing, making it altogether much, much worse. That was up to the age of 14...from then, someone talking to me wouldn't make me blush, but even recently I was amazed because I blushed just when some girl started asking me something kinda random, maybe about siblings or something. I was only embarrassed about blushing, nothing else, god knows why it happens.

That is unusual though, but I'm blushing just thinking about it! Normally, I will now only blush if lots of people start looking at me, or if I feel embarassed. So my point is, just talk to people and so on, encounter as often as possible situations where you normally blush, and it does to a certain extent get better. As well as that, advertise the fact that you blush, tell people before it happens, make a funny story "it's so annoying, I blush even when I'm not embarrassed, that makes it embarrassing!" kind of thing; then it doesn't feel so bad when it does happen.

they do it because they are jealous ! I dont know how thats possible but most of the time people cant stand someone whos different or special by their wisdom or looks or in your case, blushing...Try to stand up for yourself and show that you will no way listen to what they say...ignore them, do well in your exams (it will also show that ur not letting them damage ur study life..trust me it works).good luck.

Go the doctors........ for 2 reasons........

1 -get your thyroid checked........ and if that is normal........
2 - just ask for a prescription of beta blockers...... they can help prevent blushing in certain situations like speeches and singing.

I would partially agree with anon #3 simply because it could be that you have excesssive blushing really! and it could be reduced a bit for you.

But really - they're just lame if they pick on that to bully you :rolleyes:

- best thing, like many have said is to just have confidence.. and just give 'em a weird look when they start laughing at you.. I mean seriously.. are you THAT lame that you have to laugh at me coz I blush?! -- Get real!.. just by having some inner confidence it will help you to brush it off :smile:

I had the same problem just not as bad. In school the guys knew if they looked at me (loads of guys) I'd blush. So they'd take it in turns to shout "Everyone look at Maria" and scare at me until I blushed. There's nothing you can do, you just blush in some situations.
