If he isn't nice to you in front of people or school, it sounds like he has low self-esteem and as you pegged it he wants to look cool.
Well you don't have to be the object of somebody elses wanting to be cool. You could start by explaining to him the situation and telling him how it hurts your feelings and makes you feel bad and then wait to see if it gets any better. But...you can't change another person and usually things like this don't change.
I'd try having a conversation with him but in the end if he continues this behavior I would dump him. No man is worth your happiness.

gsngirl7 answered Thursday January 20 2005, 6:50 pm: Just openly come out and tell him that you don't like how he's treating you. If he gets mad, just let him go. If he cares more about his reputation than you, he isnt worth it. There are other people who would care for you alot more. Hope my advice helps! [ gsngirl7's advice column | Ask gsngirl7 A Question ]
Erica answered Thursday January 20 2005, 5:54 pm: Hey!!! It sounds like you really care about this guys????

pretty_n_punk09 answered Thursday January 20 2005, 5:41 pm: Well first off, this guy is a real jerk. What kind of guy is all sweet and caring when is friends aren't around? You need to cofnront him after scool and tell him how you feel. Tell him that you don't like how he treats you around his friends and if he's gonna act that way around his friends, then something needs to be done. Frankly, I think you should dump this guy. Split Personalities are defintely not a good thing in a boyfriend.
HelpfulHope answered Thursday January 20 2005, 5:30 pm: If you to tell him somthin then tell him but not at school because if he is really your boyfriend then he should understand!
Hope

Siren_Cytherea answered Thursday January 20 2005, 5:24 pm: Obviously you don't like it, I wouldn't like it either! Just tell him one day "we need to talk." (This warns him a little bit so he can brace himself for bad news/an unhappy girlfriend) Then just let him know how you feel. Tell him you don't like the way he treats you around his friends, and he should treat you the same way. Maybe even use the "Split personalities" statement ("It's like you're two different people. Which one am I dating?") Let him know he needs to make a choice and decide how he's going to treat you, and treat you the same no matter who he's around. He's gotta know that he can't treat you like that and expect you not to get pissed. I'd kill my guy if he did that to me.
So just talk to him and let him know what's on your mind! I hope this helps.

mysterycocomix answered Thursday January 20 2005, 5:05 pm: Well, maybe your bf doesn't know it hurts you? HOw do you react to this. Do you act like you don't care? Do you act like you do care? It all depends on how he sees the way you react. You can't keep going around being, lets just say "bullied" by your bf. It's not right for a guy to treat his gf with disrespect. Try to show some signs that you don't like what he's doing when he does something to you. Maybe he'll get the hint. If he doesn't, tell him. Say: "Why do you keep doing that? It really makes me feel bad?" or something similar to that! Hope I helped!

525 answered Thursday January 20 2005, 5:03 pm: well, a good person shouldnt act one way just for his friends. If he really likes u, he will understand when u tell him how u feel. If not, hes not right for u. [ 525's advice column | Ask 525 A Question ]
JadedinNowhere answered Thursday January 20 2005, 5:02 pm: There is no use in stalling anything so be straightforward with him, beating around the bush only creates problems. Tell him how you feel, and how you don't like how he treats you at school.. If a guy treats you like complete shit, and you tell him, and he doesn't stop.. go shop for a new boyrfriend..
