Mary,

If it helps, my mom used to tell me and I wholeheartedly believe,  
that people who make fun of others don't feel good about themselves  
and they make fun and bully to make themselves feel better.  No  
matter what they said and did to you, you need to know and believe  
that their words are just that - words.
