Hello! I need some advice here.
The people in my class are lovely and support me with my diabetes, but sometimes, they make Type 2 Diabetes jokes that I get offended by. My friends tease me for this and say something along the lines of, “God, just grow up a bit. No need to get so offended!” They say this is in a really sarcastic way and I’m really sensitive when it comes to my diabetes.
It gets a bit too much sometimes and I go out of classroom, pretending to “get something out of my bag”. I tell them to stop, and they ignore me or tell me the same sort of things my friends do. Am I overreacting?
Thanks, Ruby
