We are looking for answers to some hard questions as we dig deep inside and explore our own core values and how that guides not just our own lives but the very world that we live in. These questions will be asked to a group of high school students but we would also like to hear from the world at large. While we hope to keep this forum wide open we do reserve the right to delete responses that we find to be offensive or combative in nature. Thank you for participating with us.

Yes, I would continue to forgive... if I didn't I'd harbor resentment.
I would likely ask them what's - the real deal- at the bottom of their need to say such hurtful things. However, if it continued, I would distance myself from anyone who continually attempted to make me feel badly.
There is a poem that I love so much that I try to apply it to my life daily. It is called "Anyway" and it's by Mother Teresa. It goes like this:
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-center; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.
-----------------------------------
and I like to add what someone does to you, if they don't repent, they will have to answer to Heavenly Father. It's between them and Heavenly Father.
