being made fun of in high school causing anxiety?

in high school i was going through puberty had had sort of a weird voice. about 5-6 kinds would make fun of it and mock me, but thats really it. no one else i have encountered has ever said anything about it. a few girls even complimented it

it still bothers me somewhat that i was made fun of cuz my voice.. how do i get over it?

knowing that not everyone makes fun of it?

Just so you know every boy goes through the voice change you are not the only one, and a year from now no one will ever remember.

I used to get made fun of and the best advice I got was to make fun of it as well, that way they dont think it bothers you and they will stop. If you make it look like it bothers you they will not stop. People are mean.

thank you! that's the way I'm tryin to look at it. I mean I have talked to tons of people and a wide majority never say anything about it. If they do who cares? They have flaws to!

You rise above it!  Kids that bully and make fun of others do so for attention and to make themselves feel big....in reality they have small minds!  Concentrate on the fact that it was only a select few, and they don't matter.  People like this can bring you down....don't allow them to do this to you!  So long as it still bothers you....you're still their victim!  You've got way too much going for you to allow a few teasings from your past bother you now.  I think everyone has encountered teasing and/or bullying and it can be very difficult to deal with, but that's just life and you are a better person and they know this!  Try to let it go, and the fact that a few girls complimented you.....says a lot.  There's always someone waiting to say something mean or disrespectful, consider the source and never forget who and what you are!!!  Better than that!!  Best wishes.
