First thing I had the most horrific horror story when i was in school, people said so many rumors about me.
First of all this Girl said i was gay to everyone, it got around to the WHOLE school, this virus was spread from her trash mouth.
I finally had it, it was in my other classes, "that guy". I went up to her and said, listen I know you are doing this, and i know you are a trash mouth. I have had enough, and you made my life hell. If i hear anymore, you are going to regret this, i will make sure you are busted and you innocence will not be anymore. She didnt stop, i said over the class after she told this guy i was gay across the room. I stood up, and said "hey, trash mouth, how much more garbage is going to come out of your mouth, you just love to hurt people dont you, listen bitch I've had enough, its going to get rough" I sat back down, the whole class went silent, i got sent to the office, but i didnt care. I talked her friends and told them how much she lies.
First thing to know when people dont like you:
1. Dont give eye contact
2. Usally talk in a group, or someone and then they look at you.
3. Cold.THings to do:
1. First, directly stare them down when they look at you, a very direct look.
2. Dont stop, go up, say well whats going on in this conversation?
3. Dont care what they think, but always look at them when they start up again.
4. Give them the look you do not like them.
5. Say comments back when they say something.
6. Act like you know, stare them down.Enough
It always stoped when i did this.
Im just rerembering what happened, just some advice for someone who has a similar issue.
Take Care
Matt

Hi Matt
My son is 18. He was telling me about one of his friends, drop dead gorgeous, who was in a MacDonalds. These footy heads come in and, probably as a pretext (who knows what goes on in their minds?), comment on his tight pants and call him a f*g. So, you know, they go through this and that, and as they leave my son's friend says to one of the footy heads "See you later sunshine". I thought that was so cool.

Well, sounds like you took a strong, assertive stand against some immature nonsense...good for you! Many people don't find the strength to do that, especially in the high school environment, which really can be brutal sometimes.
And, Matt, I don't see it as *paranoid* at all when you discovered or plainly witnessed that people there really WERE talking about you! :-)

Whoa, this thread took me back. I wouldn't go through high school again if my life depended on it. Although life can be difficult afterwards, somehow its never quite as bad high school.
I just went through something at work with some girls talking about me. Although this was in your don't column, I would go up to them, sit down and say, "Hey, what are yall talking about?" -with a big grin on my face! I just kept butting in all the time, and I know it was driving them crazy. After a while it got old though.
Luckily some other people came back after a summer layoff we have at work, and I just started hanging out with them. The funny thing is, the same girls try so hard to talk and be nice to me now. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, I started hanging out with the 'popular' group (in their opinion). It just goes to show you some people never really leave high school, which is really just sad.
I'm glad you stood up for yourself. That's more than I ever did in high school. I guess we just handle these situations the best we know how to at the time.
