I'm a teenage girl, I'm short, I get good grades, I'm an easy target... and I'm not good with comebacks.
The BOYS in my grade are immature. They like to lead me on, and I'm stupid enough to believe them. One of the guys I sit next to in class acted really nice to me. He said I was pretty, and that I was awesome. Turns out he was just doing it for a laugh. He went and told his best friend about it, and since then, both of them have been giving my crap about how I supposedly like them, and that I'm so gorgeous... and that they like me back, clearly as a joke.
The GIRLS are just bitchy. My supposed "friends" make fun of me all the time. They like to have a joke at my expense. They'll tease me about anything from my grades, to the shorts I'm wearing.
I feel like I can't win. If it's not the immature boys who are making me feel horrible, it's the girls and their bitchy comments. The girls laugh at me when the boys are teasing me... it's like they all like to joke about me.
It hurts. I don't like being the joke. I'm just an easy target. I'm short, which obviously translates as a sign of weakness. I get good grades, which automatically makes me nerdy. I don't get in trouble at school, which puts me under the category of a goody two shoes... it's horrible. I just want to know what to do. How can I deal with these people?
At the moment, I laugh it off, as if it doesn't mean anything to me... or as if I don't care about what they say, when really I do. Please help me! Thanks!
