I think I was I was 12 once (but I'm not sure because it was so long ago

), and at 12 one tends to take a difference of opinion as an insult. As you get older, you grow to realize that people are just stating what they learned through their own personal experiance. Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean they think you are stupid, it just means they have had experiances that different than yours.
My father told me a story a long time ago about some executive that had an assistant that was always disagreeing with him. When asked why he didn't fire a guy who was always disagreeing with him he said, "If he agreed with me on everything, I wouldn't need his opinion."
So just smile and know that everyone is really just trying to help you the best way that they know how.
