Why do friends make bad jokes about you?

I had friends tell me jokes like, " that van passing by is going to kidnap you", or " that group of men coming our way is going to rape you". 

My best friend knows that I am a virgin and he would make jokes like, "you are going to faint if you insert just the tip". 

Is there a psychological reason for these kinds of teasing?  Are my friends bad? Or are they just showing tough love?

Teasing is a fun part of being with friends. It's normal, everywhere. If they didn't like you, it would be insulting, right?

Projections of hatred against you are very rarely humorous.  Suggest you read "For Couples Only," "The Kindness Challenge," and Mark Prophet's "Understanding Yourself," keep your purity, and be able to find kinder friends.

I tell you now,these our not your friends.

Drop them and find others.

It's not tough love, it's called being an immature brat. Defend yourself, say something clever back to shut them up.
