Teasing, Darren's response
Dear Mom,
You are absolutely right. There is no magic wand to change people’s actions. You can ask them to change, you can ask their superiors to make them stop, but that often makes it even worse. You need to learn how to deal with things by yourself.
Those are all legit options, but option 1, changing yourself, is the only one that is completely reliable. Some people just won’t leave you alone, so in that case, a case I was just experiencing, you have to try something else.
