If you can't get people to stop picking on you what should you do?

People who tend to pick on others are bullies, and are actually insecure about themselves. The best way to stop it is to igore them, and don't give them the reaction they are trying to get from you, and therefore the attention they are trying to get from others. Try treating them with indifference; make them feel, and know, that they are of no significance to you in any way. Since people like this would rather be treated with negative attention instead of no attention, they will very possibly stop picking on you once they realize that not only are they not getting the reaction and attention the want, but they are actually getting the opposite - NO attention. Another thing you could try is next time they pick on you, simply say, "I'm so sorry you have such a low opinion of yourself that you have to resort to something so childish just to get attention", and then just walk away. Not only will that show you are the better person, but it will give you a renewed sense of self-confidence and respect.
