Hey Bella.

Fighting with friends can be stressful, not to mention a blow to your confidence, but you shouldn't let them get you too down. Friends fight; they say things they don't mean; that's how it is. It doesn't mean what he said is true, or how he really feels - and the fact he had alcohol beforehand increases the chances that what he said was an accident, or something he regrets now.

Regardless, it wasn't fair of him to make fun of you, and you should talk to him about it. Tell him it made you feel bad, and you'd really like it if he didn't do it again. If he's really your friend, he'll listen, and adjust his behaviour, maybe even apologise.

Something that I find can boost your self-confidence is writing a list, or getting someone else to write one, of your good qualities. Then look at that when you're feeling low, and remember that you're a good person.

Another thing you might try - as well as the alternatives Kezia and Amiko have mentioned - is talking about all this. It's a good, safe way to get your feelings out; you could also try writing about it, if you don't feel comfortable actually talking to someone.

Chin up, and know that you're better than this.

Take care.
