I'm short, I have a different type of speech and my facial features are iffy. My mother was always worried I'd be bullied. So she told me to just laugh along. I was never really bullied, but I've always been very open to poking fun at my faults. It has really helped. I don't know if it actually deterred any problems but I'd like to think it did. Probably the best advice my mother ever gave. Just laugh along and have whatever fun you can with it and it'll go away. When people see it bothers you, they'll continue. But when they see it has no effect on you, they'll usually get bored.
