What's really annoying me lately is that my brother keeps calling me Jesus,lol I know its stupid but he keeps saying it infront of other people so that they will make fun of me to.Just tought that I would share,also for those curious,I will have new progress pictures up tomorrow.
Hello Piotr,
Be serious and tell him it bothers you. Unless he is hoplessly immature or just a dink, it might work. If it does not work he will intentionally bother you about it which is exactly where you are now anyway. Nothing to lose.
Here is a helpful thought while it is going on too, you come out looking good as people pity your brother's lame attempts at humor. If he said you were working up a good comb-over in advance then maybe I'd laugh, but Jesus? Nah.

Yea he know's it annoys me but he just keeps calling me that,infact he calls me Fat Jesus lol,I just shrugg it off though,thats al I can do really.Also one weird fact is that when I first decided to start growing out my hair he actually supported me and said it was cool but not all of a sudden hes acting like a jackass.
im not a bible basher or anythin, but isn't being called jesus a compliment, after all he was the son of god and helped aload of ppl.
but callin u fat, he surely cant b pefect
Is he a younger brother? Do you have a hold over him like not driving him places until he treats you respectfully? Whatever his age tell him very firmly that his harassment is not okay with you. Resigning yourself to being annoyed sounds like a poor option. Your brother is family and I would hope that somewhere in there he does care what you think of him. From his compliment of your long hair early on I'd say he does.
Let him know this is something that really matters to you.

A bullie is only a bullie as long as he knows he gets to you. Whenever a person like this taunts you, perhaps you should try this: agree, laugh about it like it is entertaining you and thank him every time. (Don't let him know he is getting to you anymore.) And, continue to keep up this act every time he attacks you. After a while this leaves him no where to go and he finally gets tired of harassing you for you have finally spoiled his little game of trying to make your life miserable.
Just a thought.
What Justin has spoken is very wise and true, grasshoppa.

Showing that you are upset with his words shows you are insecure with your hair. If you laugh and joke right along with them about it, it takes away all their joy in doing it and sooner or later it will fade out with them and they will loose all reasoning behind their bullying you.
When the guys at work have anything to say about my hair whether it be kidding or actually trying to get at me, I laugh and joke right along with them. I am not the least bit insecure about my hair, that is why I can joke about it. If peoples off color comments bother you and get the best of you, then that shows insecurity in what you are doing. Rise above it and come out on top and you will be a better person for it. If you can't laugh at yourself, then others (not everyone) will find reasons to break you down. Everyone that knows me knows it is no good to get at me for my hair because I am just going to flow right along with them and to them that breaks all reasons they have for doing it in the first place. Hope this helps. Peace!
Very true, especially if you have a comeback that is MORE personal or degrading about yourself. If you can go off on yourself worse than him and laugh about it, it really makes him powerless with that approach.
He must worship you then, eh? ;)

Thanks guys,I'll try to not let his comments get to me.
I don't see what's annoying. I get called Santa all the time. I just reply "Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas". Once your hair gets long enough to ponytail, he presumably will stop calling you Jesus anyway, since one never sees pics of Him ponytailed.
