I seem to have no respect in my group of friends. Im constantly the butt end of jokes because im jewsh. I am especially ridiculed by the smallest and youngest in the group for my religion . One of my close friends in the group told me that if i just don't take it personal and get mad, then no one would really have incentive to make fun of me. I really don't know what to do, i can't really hit the youngest because im a legal adult.

Any advice?

I'd be glad, at least you're not in a boring group, they have fun, you can too! This may sound stupid, but cmon, they're all laughing and stuff, but you don't have to take it personally... Take the opportunity to practice! You're the one who chooses to be mad after all. Some other guy maybe wouldn't get mad, or if you had a million dollars you wouldn't be mad. So that part you can deal with. As with the insults, if you don't take it seriously, you can have fun, at least they are giving you attention, so may as well make a fun situation out of it. Try to mess around with them too, since they are doing the same with you. I personally kind of get how it's like, since I'm teased all the time for being a vegetarian. You can imagine the kind of jokes I get! But it's good since I'm starting to improve my wit and tooken the opportunity to make friends and at least it's not a boring situation. And maybe it's true that if you don't take it personally they won't make fun of you anymore, but you can choose not to be mad, and why not take the opportunity to make something cool out of all of this? I mean that's what we all aim for to have fun when we are with out friends. If your friends are total *******s that just want to bring you down it's one thing, but maybe they're just trying to have fun, maybe they're worth hanging out with, if you didn't take it personally, maybe you'd enjoy it more.

I think your right groovy. but does this mean i let all my friends call me and address me as "jew"? should i just laugh off their insults? Also if i do fire back,how can i do it without making it seem like im doing it because i'm upset.

Well, at first... remember to smile and look like you're just having fun when firing back at them, hide your real emotions and make a better situation for yourself.
