Impervious
Adjective. Not capable of being affected or disturbed.
I used to get teased at school. People would make fun of my hair or ask where my father was, call me a freak or a clown or a loser. It would make me mad and sad. I don’t get teased as much anymore (maybe kids are nicer in North Carolina?), but there are still a few jerks who call me names (I’m talking to you, Jared Shupe!). But none of that bothers me anymore. I am impervious to their taunts and name-calling. I have friends. Other kids like me. Plus, Mom says that the people who call me names are just insecure about their own poor qualities. I guess Jared is just upset that he is so dumb, so he takes it out on me. That’s okay. As I said, I am impervious.
