People consider me a slut?

I'm a junior in high school, and the vast majority of my friends happen to be male. They're easier to relate to, come without all of the additional "drama" and shallow drivel that high school girls are so fond of, and they tend to have better taste in music. Combine that with the fact that I'm generally considered rather "attractive", and, naturally, people assume I must me a mindless bimbo, and stunningly easy. But I'm NOT. I've been in one real relationship in my entire life, and that was with a guy that I've known since the fourth grade. I'm still a virgin, I get straight A's, and prefer video games and homework to gossip and parties. How can I dispell this stereotype everyone seems to have fit me into?

  • Well, unless you have taken a poll of public opinion in high school, which wouldn't be worth a rat's ass anyway, I doubt anyone that matters thinks of you this way & think you are kind of being overly self conscious about your possible "image." Relax. You sound pretty together to me. And if other people don't get you, forget making big generalizations, and just say to hell with them.

    I completely agree with usedtorunalotnowieatcake. No one would find a girl like that slutty. You must flirt or fool around with guys or something, even if you ARE a virgin. I used to have the same problem.

    I love to be with a group of men too. When I was in fifth grade I found my first love out of the entire group of boys in my class. But at that time Ikids were less of an asshole so I was never called a tomboy or slut for that matter. I still had a few lady friends as well.

    What people say today about today will be forgotten tomorrow. Where you are going today will be seen tomorrow because you are building a tomorrow.

    Always hang in there. The most successful people in life never forgot where they came from. Because the future is a destination, but in the end it is the journey that will make you the person you become. The memory of that journey is what you will hold dearest in your heart.

    You are cool, girl! Just stay just the way you are. Don't pay attention to those jealous b****es.
    You are cool, you got straight A's, you like videogames and science, instead of partying and retardation, so you will probably go to a nice Ivy league college and become the CEO of some big Fortune 500 corp. While the other High School girls will end up pregnant at 16, or flipping burgers, or married to some drunkard that will beat them to a pulp and take their money to spend on booze, while they will keep repeating, under the bandages, to their friends: "he is a good guy, he just broke my teeth, but he is stressed out with his job as a construction worker, truck driver, or Realtor... (...or any other loser job, for that sense...)"

    Because that's just a woman characteristic.. most of the time. And even though you may think so, it doesn't end in highschool, maybe to a certain extent, but women are always more dramatic and problematic then men. It's characteristic for women to twist the story to their wanted output to make them look it the way they want it.. are you doing that right now? Do you act in a certain way for others to label you such a way?

    You sound awesome! Usually, people wil do that due to their own insecurities. They hate themselves, so they take it out on others.

    Boys are actually easier to hang out with than girls. Girls can be manipulative and bitchy, trust me, I know. People are probably jealous that you have friends that are boys! Your obviously not a slut, so try to ignore them. Good luck!

    Middle School sucks. There's no way around it. The only thing I promise you is in a few short years you'll never remember what or who caused you pain.

    From the sounds of it, more than likely they're talking crap about you due to envious and they want to break you down. I'm already graduated and done with HS but this kind of reminds me of my freshman year of HS, kids were calling me a slut when I was a virgen.. go figure. Another possibility though, is that you're perhaps a bit too flirtatious and silly around guys and the less attractive girls might see that and talk sh^^. I'd say if it really bothers you, and it goes on, you could ask one of your closest friends if you act overly flirtatious and silly, and try to work on that, although it might be hard..

    I can relate to you rather well, because I have been in the same situation when I was in high-school. I went to an all-girls school, even then I haven't been able to relate to girls easily. It was easier for me to relate to my brother's friends. I used to hang-out with them. And they have accepted me nicely. I used to hear complaints from my classmates that I don't mix with them and stuff but I did not care much about that. Because I choose the way which made me happy. Be confident in who you are, you don't have to prove those who are narrow-minded anything. Just be yourself and you will find that eventually they will understand and if they don't just leave them. They are important anyway. Even now, I have more guy friends than girls. And friends who are girls are of the same wavelength. After I left school, I found that I am not the only one out there who is different... :)

    If you want to talk about it, you are welcome anytime... :)

    Live life to the fullest and in your own way.. after all you have only one life ... :)

    Blimey, girls will be girls, they will say whatever they like. You cannot let them shape you. You are wonderful the way you are and there is no reason why you should change just because of a bunch of gossipping girls. Just leave them be.

    At least this label means you will be popular and getting attention from the guys :) You can prove them wrong by being intelligent and not "messing around".

    Also people make assumptions based on your clothes and your "look" so you may want to keep away from the hot little outfits, and go with more conservative look around school friends... unless you are at a party or on a date.

    ummmm ... how can they find you slutty given the way you described yourself?
    obviously you're not telling the whole truth.
    but if you want to not be seen as a "slut" then find a guy outside of your group and date him. that way you're not seen as slut for hanging out with your guy friends .... by the normal high school girls ... which would be none of them ... AAAAHHH forget I said anything.
