when my friends are being jerks i usally smack them and tell them how i feel about whatever it is that is making them act like a jerk and tell them how i feel about sometimes i have to act it out so they understand they usally understand and stop and then we laugh about it later sometimes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------i dont know if that will help you but i hope it does and i hope you can work things out with your friends
My friends are jerks 12 hours out of the day we hardly ever get along perfectly but you do the same but if thats not you just ignore them because they will eventually shut up. Never hit to hurt I say because they don`t mean to hurt you it`s just humor that they fell that can be intrusted upon you. Hope this helps
