The best way to deal with people making fun of you is to first ignore them and usually when you ignore the person or people making fun of you they will then learn that they won't get the reaction out of you.

The reason people bully people and make fun of them is they want to get a reaction out of the person they are making fun of or bullying.

When they do not get the reaction they want then they decide to leave you alone eventually and move on.

However some bullies may still continue constantly bullying you and making fun of you and in that event you need to stand up to the bully when it's safe to do so.

Stand up to the bully and make eye contact and say directly to them that you are not taking anymore of it and that you don't appreciate them making fun of or bullying you.

But if you just keep ignoring them and then go on about your life then eventually it will stop.
