I need some advice

I have what's called TICs (Tourettes if you like) and everyone in school uses this to mock me and laugh at me. Personally, I don't care and I don't mind, but my parents keep telling me to stand up for myself and do something about it. I keep telling them all the teasing doesn't affect me whatsoever and that I'm fine, but they keep refusing. What should I do

good for you on being unbothered!
tell them alright I'll do so when someone bothers. then don't if you don't wanna.
i'm not telling you to lie to your parents but that's really the only way to tackle nagging parents : acknowledge and move on :smile:
they're only doing this bc they truly care about you!
