However, many psychologists believe that grade school and high school taunts are best dealt with by ignoring the person.
Some psychologists think that it helps to acknowlege any part that might be true, which takes the sting out of put-downs. No one can hurt you when you are upfront about a common problem. For example, many people get nervous speaking in front of the class. Often, it helps simply to acknowledge, "Sure I'm nervous."
