Can someone please explain to me why this 15 year old is so rude to me. I'm 19 and I'm living with a philipino family. This philipino family is allowing me and other homestays, including the 15 year old, to stay in their home and go to school. what I find irritating is that this 15 year old is always insulting me. Never have I insulted him or made him feel bad about himself. I've always been respectful and treated him with kindness...even when he insults me. At first I would laugh off his jokes (which were sometimes hurtful)...but he just keeps insulting me. He says things like...you're fat...or that my bf will cheat on me, or that I'm ugly. One day I just got upset and walked off. He said he was sorry ( not sincerely) and I forgave him. After I forgave him he kept doing it. So I deleted him off my facebook and I just completely ignore him now because he just adds to my stress of my college and work. I just want respect. I guess I'm really upset about this because I want respect from everyone, I feel I don't always get that. I feel I am smart, attractive, funny...but people judge me as being quiet, shy and reserved...and don't get to know me. It really hurts me and somedays I wish I was not alive.
