Don't fight back, just let it be. If they get in to your space, than you have to kindly tell them to please stay away from my safe zone. If they keep pestering you, and keep going at it to your face, find some friends that would stand up to them punks and dash it out. You can never, ever punk out when the bullies believe they can do whatever they want to you. Because they will see you as a prey, and nobody wants to be a prey. Lift weights, eat big, and learn some martial arts. Oh yea and keep tagging along with your friends that you know that will get your back. You have to do something drastic for the bullies to stop pestering you.
Ask the blacks if it hurt when their skin burned so much it turned charcoal?
Ask the Latinos how is it like for their people to be defeated by a sneeze.
you do that by hanging around older men like me who can tell you who you are. so you can get a sense of your identity. older men need to build up your confidence.
you need to get comfortable with your self.
