preps/punks
ok our school theres basically 2 groups. preps and punks. and we dont get along. i consider myself a punk. and i try to be nice to the preps but they just like call me a slut and a druggie! i am not a slut. my friends know that i aint. and i am not druggie i dont even smoke. but the preps got it in their heads that i am. and they wont leave me alone about it! and the preppy guys think i am "hot" and they always ask me stuff like "ur so hot why do u hang out with the druggie guys?" well u do cuz a/ most of them arent druggies b. they are super respectful. but i just dont get why preps are so mean to me and my friends. i mean we are nice to them and they are just total jerks (i would use other chioce words) and now we are jerks back to them cuz they are to us! even the teachers are unfair to us cuz we dress different and skate. how can we get this whole thing to stop? its soo incredibly dumb and how can we get the teachers to stop? we cant report to the principal hes worse than the teachers.

I have the same problem at my school. I'm a metal head and all the preps (well, except for a few) think I'm some psycho just cause I listen to KoRn and Slipknot. Don't worry about it. Just ignore them, they'll stop. Hell, try this: if someone ever calls you a psycho or freak show or anything like that, say thank you. Believe me, it makes them mad as hell to see that it doesn't get to you. Just embrace your image, it pisses them off to no end.
And as far as the teachers and principal, sorry, can't help ya there.

*The problem is you can't stop labeling. I'm so glad that you took the time to talk to "preps", not many people would...but not all preps are like that. Maybe at your school they're really assholish, so just steer clear of them and they can talk to you instead of you talking to them, because if you continue things will just get worse and feelings will be hurt.*

My school is like that too. But most of us don't even like the preps so we don't care what they think. If they don't like you for who you are..then why do you even want to talk to them and stuff?..But since you do then just try to talk to talk to one of the preppy people by theirself so they don't get all mean and everything. Most people are mean when they're with other people. And just try to become friends or something..And if you do become friends then have them tell the teachers that you're not a bad person.

Being sterotyped can be mentally painful. Are you a good student? A hard worker? Don't let others reactions to your personal choices effect your school work. Work hard, and your teachers will see that.Also, don't ever be worried about what other people think of you. You are your own person, it's what makes you an individual. You know your friends are good people. If the other "Group" cannot see that, than you are wasting your time, and it proves who really is a better person. The girls in this preppy group could be jealous that you seem to get some attention from these preppy guys which is why they feel like they have to put you down. You don't need to change for anyone..and you don't need to explain yourself to anyone either. Another thing, don't bother with the principal, speak to your counselor instead. If none of this works, go back to plan A and just continue to be your awesome self.

A lot of the time people judge others based on appearnace alone. I've done it before,but I try not to do it anymore. They're going to be jerks to you until they grow the fuck up,which,for some,may be never. You could try to talk to them and be like "I think we got off on the wrong foot. Why don't we start over as friends?" And if they're still assholes,then you've done all you can do.

Well first of all you dont "try" to be a in the punk group. Either you are or your not. Its all in the heart. You dont just put on some clothes and say hey look Im a punk...(this type of stuff gets to me) but you really cant do anyhting with the teachers or principal
