This probably sounds stupid but my Dad like to joke around a lot but he almost always goes to far when he teases me. What he says hurts but he also isn't a very understanding person and we are very different people so I am too scared to tell him. The last time I said I didn't like what he was doing he laughed and told me to deal with it. How do I make him understand that I want him to stop teasing me like that?

Haruka,

No father should make their child feel like that? Like what the hell? Jokes are fine but taking it to the point where it actually hurts is messed up not stupid.
To me, if I find a joke that doesn't amuse me, all I say is, "that's not funny." Or if someone were to insult me or someone/thing else, I'd reply with, "I don't get it. Can you explain?" Usually the jokes over and they shut up. But if your dad is that persistent and you're genuinely afraid to tell him it hurts you? Then you need to tell someone who will listen, someone close to your father. Such as your mother, his sibling, or his best friend. And they will speak up for you, so it can get through to the thick skull of his. If that honestly doesn't work? Ignore him. Just enough. Be a little rebellious; it's part of being a teenager(if that is what you are). I mean, I ignore all people who are dicks, and eventually they come up to me and ask what's the matter/what's up with you? I explain in full detail how I feel about how they are and how it's not beneficial nor is it attractive or funny for that matter. Also, I'll say, if they keep it up, I will continue to give them the cold shoulder. He may be your father but you don't need to take shit from no one. No one.
Do what you gotta do. Goodluck and take care.

Don't act like a child when telling him and show you're a man. Tell him that the teasing have to stop and you're not standing for it. If he doesn't listen you tell a family member your dad isn't showing you respect and you told him to stop teasing you that you're tired of it and he won't listen to you.

In my opinion the best thing to do is to ask your mother to tell him for you.

My Dad is the same. For me, even when I stand up to him he just gets mad at me for being hurt or upset. I dunno if your dad is the same but maybe try really talking to him one more time and if it doesn't go well maybe swallow your pride and just deal with it because sometimes bullies just are incapable of empathy. And that essentially is what your dad sounds like.
