The other day my friend said I was kinda prepy but I don't see myself as prepy at all and I hate that I was called prepy. I see myself as more athletic than prep but I mean I get almost all my clothes from ae so I guess I kinda am prepy but I just hate the fact that I was called prep. And ever since I was recely in h.s I've been so worried about my looks, hair, weight, etc. and I'm kinda confused who I am right now cause I never thought I'd be called prepy or worry about my appreace soo much. So is this normal for me to worry about my appreance and like how can I figure out who I am and what I wanna be?
To figure out who you want to be, and who you are, do this. On New Year's, evaluate yourself for then. And then when it comes again next year, do it again, and see how much you've changed. It let's you know where you are, and where you've changed. Better or worse.

When you asked 'how can I figure out who I am and what I wanna be?' you have to figure that on your own, I know you dont really want to hear that right now, but its the truth. You cant have someone figure you out, you have to figure yourself out. It shouldnt matter what people think, what matters is what you think.

You see, you worry so much bout your appearance and all that is because you are finding your identity. You are trying to find out who you are.And also, wanting to get more of the guys' attention =)
IF you dont see yourself as preppy, then so be it. You don't have to get mad over what your friends have to say. If you know you aren't preppy then you aren't preppy. Don't let their words bug you. A person with confidence should never be bothered bout what people say. I don't know if being called preppy is good or bad but I thought people always associate preppy people with popular people? So isnt that a compliment? Haha. ok idk but yea I'll keep that as a compliment and just continue to believe that I'm a sporty person if I were you =D
Honestly speaking, it's hard to define who you really are. Even for me. Because you react differently to different people, am I right? But what I feel, is that you should always have the very same quality in you whenever you meet people. LIke for eg, if you are a humourous person, that humour factor should always be in you no matter who you meet. (For eg You'd try to crack some lame ass jokes even though you're not really that close to this person correct? )
You can ask your friends to help you figure out who you are because they've seen the way you behave and all that. From what they've said, build up on that character and add that to your character list.
1)Ask yourself, what do you wanna be?
2)Eg : I wanna be an athethlic, sporty, good looking, sunshine, healthy girl (I assume you are talking more bout appearance from the way you ask your question.)
