ok im 16 years old and like most girls these days i've already lost my virginity. All the guys around my school know it. And thats all they want from me. Im not the kind of person to do that. I've always had a good rep. i have alot of friends and i make pretty good grades and a cheerleader and a nice person but boys around school dont believe that. They hear one thing and they wont give me the chance to prove them wrong. Now im starting to lose some friends over this. Ppl talk about me bein a hoe and stuff at school and im not REALLY im not. Ive had sex with only one guy and they think im a slut and everything else. How can i get my rep back to the person they knew b4?
You can't undo the past. Nor can you really change the opinions of others. People think want they want to think, regardless of what the truth is.
You know who you are, and what you are and aren't. I know it seems so cliche, but that IS the most important thing. If you have to prove yourself to these so-called 'friends', then they were never friends to begin with. Those who love you will still accept you for you, the bad, the good, the really really ugly.
I think we've all gone through a situation like that, I sure know I have. It hurt...I lost some who I thought I could consider friends, but the true ones stuck by my side. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone. Keep your head up..And brush it off. What fun is gossiping if they can't provoke you? People lose interest real fast when they don't get a response.

HectorJr answered Wednesday March 15 2006, 4:35 pm: This one isn't an easy one... As to getting your reputation back 100% I'm not too sure is possible - mostly because you can't undo something like losing your virginity. Earn your respect back for who you really are? Yes, you can do that.
If somebody says something about it right to you, say so what, who cares? If when somebody says something to you just to get under your skin and they see that it does, then they will keep doing it or just spread it around. So try not to let it bother you. If some guys don't give you a chance because of that, or only want you because of that...then are they really worth it to begin with? You could actually try asking for a real chance, nothing wrong with that. Really, you shouldn't have to prove yourself to anybody to begin with - friends of yours that don't give you a hard time about it or bother you are your real friends, not the ones that constantly bring it up, spread it around, or talk to you just because of that.
So yeah just ignore it, don't let it get to you, tell them the truth and keep your head up high. Those that judge you without knowing you aren't worth it anyway. Hope that helped and good luck. [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]
