You have to stay positive, because there’s always going to be that person you come across.  There’s no avoiding it.  I could either be really upset about it (and yeah the comments are hurtful) or I could be like, “Whatever fried chicken is amazing.”  It seems more effective to turn it around like that.

That and, honestly, it’s not like I haven’t been made fun of before.  It’s nothing new.  Considering the world we live in and how society thinks we should look, at this point in my 30 years of living it’s like, “Oh wow this again?  Oh I forgot, not everyone you come across in your life is a grown up.”
