When on the receiving end of insults, make light of it so it's more of a joke for yourself as well. This should make you more approachable and seem less fazed by insults, which helps with getting generally better liked.

I tried that, they told me to stop searching for pity, or said 'we're laughing at you, not with you' or their other favourite was stopping laughing when I started, and saying 'it's not funny', and then walking off, just shutting up, or proceeding to insult me in some other way, still retaining their previous hatred. There was only one reason I ended up with a shred of respect at the end, and that was because of me playing blood knuckles, and not whining about the pain, even with my right hand being completely mashed up. And then there was the game of extreme rock paper scissors which only ended because the tutor made it.
I've never really had to deal with jerks of that level.

Of course, the next best thing you can do is to embarrass them in a cruel or even witty way; this is done best around other non-jerks as it makes the jerks less likable by comparison.

I've never been popular or liked in school. Most of the guys say that I have the weirdos as friends. Do I give a ****? No. Because those guys who have been my friends, are very friendly and very great persons. And the rest in my school are just douches. Hell,
last time I had girlfriend when I was 12. And I don't really have rush
being in a relationship with someone, but if someone asks, I would surely go for a date with her

Last time I have talked only 1 IRL friend face to face on this year. I will even delete my IRL facebook. I just love the internet, it's my second life.

But I still recommend to have atleast few friends IRL, and meet them every now and then..

I'm pretty sure I have a decent group of IRL friends, only I don't really know anyone outside of my school and it's boys only. Why are we discussing this?

I was never smart enough to say things right, or think of a good argument on the spot (apart from one time when somebody said 'why are your boxers showing?', they began to laugh, and I retorted with 'why were you looking down there anyway?' which caused them to do a face-heel turn and start laughing at the other guy).. It's funny, I can look back now and think of a great argument, one that would've made them look like a complete moron, but I could never think of it at the time.
Yes that sequence of words I just said made perfect sense.

I have friends that I talk to at school, but not outside of school (we're all busy).

My mum is nice, it's just that she is married to a complete and utter cunt faced asshat who is a builder and has two brain cells; one for each fist (i.e. my stepdad).

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

My best serious advice to meet people, find a group of somesort that interests you (be it a robotics team, chess club, soccer team, or anything) and join it. Chances are you will find someone with similar interests to you. I have found all of my closest friends this way.

I now only talk to 3 other people that are not family related. (my gurlfriend, and my metalbro, and my other metalbro who's a gurl)
No one else.

And oh yea i was bullied to sh** as a wee lad. Then in 7th grade one of the jocks started talking sh** about me and punched me around as usual but i completely lost my sh** this time and retaliated and put his ass on the ground and curb stomped him to the point where i almost broke his nose.
He threw the first punch so i only got 2 days of detention.

After that i started to grow my hair out and nobody really bothered me afterwords.

Yeah. Usually once you make an example out of someone, they all leave you alone.
