So let’s think about these boys. Are they boys we should care about? Hmmmm. Yeah, we really like boys who have nothing better to do with their time than to harass other kids. We are totally enraptured with boys who can only think of telling someone they have a big nose.
Sheesh! I can’t think of any reason in the world you should give them a second thought. This is different from ignoring them. This is just not even seeing or hearing them. They have nothing to do with your life, and if they did, it would as objects of your pity.
Why are they picking on girls? Because they can’t stand up to anyone their own size. Because they are too stupid to think of anything better to do with their time. These boys, I’m afraid, are not even good enough to be lint on your favorite black sweater.
If you must talk to them, then I would opt for sarcasm. I would show both pity and compassion. Nod understandingly when they make their comments, saying things like were suggested above.
But my real point is you. You are the one who is bothered by these comments. They only make them to bother you. What I hope you understand is that these boys are beneath contempt. They are dust motes. Bacteria. Faint farts in the air. You might sniff and sniff, saying “there’s something weird smelling here. What is that? Smells like my brother’s farts.” Look around, but don’t even see them. Shrug your shoulders and walk on.
But really. They aren’t worth your time. You have better things to do. It’s not like you’re gonna go out on a date with one of them. I wouldn’t waste another thought on them. When they see you can’t be bothered, they’ll start going somewhere else.
If they do start being more annoying, then certainly you should tell a teacher.
