Most of us have gotten this at some time or another. Just ignore them. They’re jealous. f you want, bet them that they can’t get your yoyo back to their hand. They won’t win.

Just them something like, “Jealous much?” Or something funny like that. I would only recommend doing this next one if you can self defend yourself. Start to make fun of them, bullies are really self conscience and an insult to one of them is worse than a kick in the you know whats. Don’t really do this 2nd one unless they are really a-holes because you are then stooping to their level. But this is sometimes the only option.

I get that a lot, I ignore it unless someone is persistent, then I can be a really jerk, I don’t need to be colorful here on the boards but yeah. Anyhow, for every person that is negative you find 2 that are positive, so don’t worry about it.

d4rqkon3, I’m gonna go ahead and guess that you would have no problem defending judging from your avatar (I’m guessing you’re in some branch of the armed forces)
and to yoyosnard, Just ignore them. A lot of people are jerks and make fun of people for being/doing different. Deep down they’re just ticked that they have no real skills… But as for your friends doing it, Are they really that good of friends?
p.s. I don’t really have to deal with this too much, Because when people see a 6’ 2" 250lb Irish/German guy with mutton chops swinging a metal object on the end of a string they tend not to say anything unless it’s a complement 8)

ignor him, or maybe give a little “hit” to him to show how yoyo’s can be weapons.Or diss him like if he says you don’t have a life then say like, “no life is still better than you” or something \>:( fight back, for your right.

Personally I just ignore people like that. It gets tiresome if you feel the need to defend yourself every time somebody attacks you. It puts you on the defensive and that’s not fun. The best thing you can do is show them (even if you are pretending at first) that it doesn’t bother you a single bit. You give them no fuel for their fire and diffuse the situation without conflict. I don’t like conflict if I can avoid it, and if people don’t like you for who you are, don’t waste your energy on them. Anyway, my that’s my 2¢. I hope that you are able to resolve this situation quickly!
