The best way to handle derogatory comments from peers is to address the situation immediately, using a calm and assertive tone. "I appreciate your opinion, but I don't feel it's appropriate in this setting." Or if you feel comfortable doing so, you can also use humor: "Is that really the best insult you can come up with?" If needed, seek guidance from a teacher or administrator for further support.

The best way to handle derogatory comments from peers is to speak out and reject them. Try to diffuse tense situations by saying something humorous or light-hearted, changing the subject, or walking away. When necessary, address the comments directly with something like "that comment wasn't appropriate and wasn't funny." If it's severe enough, report it to an adult or authority figure in charge.
