advice

people i dont even know hate me. i have a rep for being a "whore" but im really not. i get mean comments and everyone makes me cry these days. i only have a few true friends but its really upsetting to me. any advice or things i can do? thanks so much:] !

I'm really sorry about these ignorant people. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about people talking about you. People do it in middle school, high school, college, work... it's a less-than-thrilling part of life. Even though you can't control what these people say, you CAN deal with it.

You have to understand that these people don't even know you. Who are they to judge what they do not know? That's ignorance, and people who judge others in such a way aren't worth your time, so don't waste your precious time with them. Don't talk to them, don't talk about them, don't even think about them if you can help it. Show the world that you are just going to let their negative comments roll off your back. They can waste their time on negativity, that's their problem.

Like I said before, these people can't accurately judge what they don't know. If their comments aren't even true, and people believe the comments, are they even worth your time? No! Your friends and people who see beyond what they've heard about are worth your precious time.
Be confident in yourself. I know you can get through this. I know it sucks right now, but these kinds of situations really show you who your true friends are. You'll get through this, and at the end, your real friends will stick with you.

If you need any more help, let me know!
