When I was about 3 or 4 I had seen a ballet performance on TV and wanted to be able to do that. I begged my mother to let me take lessons, but she wouldn't. My brother and his friends used to mock me calling me "balletboy." I took it in stride, and even made a t-shirt that said "balletboy." They continued, but I went right along with them, and was proud to be "balletboy!"
It's only teasing if you let it be teasing!
