1. People tend to make fun of people normally for three reasons. One reason is some people want to assert themselves as superior over others. Another reason is some people may feel threatened by someone who's different, especially someone who acts or appears very odd. The last reason is that some people make fun of others is simply that others are doing it, and if they don't, or even more, if they even defend the person(s) being made fun of, then they will be made fun of. I think this reason is the case for most people. 2. An insult about my character or actions would probably provoke me the most because, for one thing, I try to be nice to people, and I don't think my actions or behaviors are disruptive or disruptive. Most of the time, any insults about my character are made by people who are jealous that I do so well in academics. Of course, I don't think about the fact that they're jealous at the time they make fun of me. If I did, then perhaps I wouldn't take the insults so personally. 3.
