Is this a form of bullying?

I have this friend, and we hang out every day in school. She's really starting to make me feel insecure about myself. The main reason is because we were skyping and I showed her a baby pic of me. I didn't send it as a file i just showed her the pic through cam. Now every time the topic of baby pics or something comes up she says I looked like a down syndrome baby. Its really starting to hurt my feelings. She means it and when she says it she pisses herself laughing. I have broad shoulders, not very broad just a little and she calls me a man. I mean this girl is suppose to be my close friend. She acts so perfect and that's what really annoys me. I cant even go shopping with her cause ill pick out a top or something that I really really like and she'll tell me is disgusting. I ask her not to say anything to me if it's not nice and she gets all defensive and says stuff like "im only being honest, if u cant take it that's your problem" I just want to know is this form of bullying or what? Cause I seriously feel like Im being bullied and make fun of. I was never insecure about myself until I started being her friend. I mean whats her problem? She's not always like this, she is nice and all but she has this side to her.

    Make her feel that she is bad. And try to avoid her. Tell her that she is not looking good. Also try to make new friends. And build confidence in yourselves.

    Even supposing he is much better than you that doesn't mean he shouldn't be equipped to play. I am relatively just right at hockey and at college my acquaintances wouldn't let me be on their hockey crew in fitness center due to the fact that they inspiration i'd hog the p.C.. I played it off like it failed to hassle me however it fairly harm. I think it's a form of bullying considering the fact that even though it can be not intentional you would be hurting any person. I suppose you should let him play. It doesn't matter if he's good or no longer.

    I had a friend just like this in secondary school, then when i got to 6th form i told her how if felt about her and i have never spoken to her since and honestly i feel great without her in my life. She, like your friend, would take the mick out of me for no reason every now and then, and slightly humiliate me infront of my other friends (even though my other friends hated her too xD), to the extent where i had just had enough and told her to stick it. Honestly hun, it sounds like a form of bullying, friends are supposed to be kind, even when being honest, they should try to say it kindly to you rather than making you feel awful about yourself. Sounds to me that this girl could be slightly jealous of you, and enjoys putting you down. My advice is to drop her, before it's too late. I stayed friends with mine for so long that i became passive, shy, lost confidence in myself and the witch was able to stop me at times from shining in school. But i dropped her and i feel great and i'm back to my old self and i shall certainly never let it happen to me again and you shouldn't either! she sounds like a jealous, cruel bully not a kind close friend.

    There's many forms of bullying, and this sounds like one. She continually builds herself up and puts you down ? Friends don't do that. There's many more people that would love to be your friend. You have to choose whether to find another friend or just talk to her about it. Make sure she knows she is hurting your feelings. If she doesn't care, then find a new friend. Hope this was helpful :)

    Well it's time for you to be blunt and direct with her tell her how the stuff she says makes you feel and if she says oh well that's how I am start looking for other friends cuz it is a form of being bullied

    She is jealous of you. She is trying to make you feel insecure because she is insecure. In my experience you should surround yourself with people that make you feel good about yourself :) I think you should talk to her about it and if she does not stop bullying you then she is not worth it.

    She's bullying you for sure. Confront her first, tell her how you feel and that doesn't work. Stop being her friend because it seems like she's being a real b*tch.

    As long as its a repeated process and harmful for you emotionally or physically, then yes it's a form.

    She uses you to feel good about herself. Dump your friend she's no good
