Re: Protecting Your Self

1) getting really emotioanal about things is something I try not to do. If I get too emotional about something, it's usually a sign that I need to work on the issue. i.e. if somebody jokes about me or my life and I get upset about it, that means I am not comfortable with how I live my life.
If I am ok with myself & my life, then it does not matter what others say.
Of course listening to nasty jokes is not a preferred way to spend time, but you can just ignore him or without getting emotional tell the guy that you don't like this kind of jokes.
If there is no responce to his jokes, he'll shut up. If you react to his jokes emotionally, that would encorage him.

2) if you decide not to teach children's class because of this nasty joke, then are acting as if the joke has some truth to it.
Since what he says is not true, there is no need to change your life.

just my thoughts... as they say on another forum YMMV (your milage may varry)
