M/13
Is it weird that when im around my freinds im really fun and wild but when im with like "popular kids" i am really shy i dont know why but ive been like that for a while and i really want to break out of my shell kinda when im around thoose type ok kids. I mean i have already gotten alot of crap about moving back and wearing "emo cloths" or whatever there stereotyping my clothing. Its not just like what people are sating gets said behind my back they come up to me and call me agothic emo cutter or whatever. Now i dont know what to do about it. i was thinking of just going up to the and telling them off but that might not be the greatest thing to do since its the begging of the year and all. Lately school hasn't been getting any easeir and with all the drama that goes aorund i dont know if i can take it any longer any advice helps =)

Let's face it, the kids in highschool & junior high can be assholes about the littlest things & make your life hell. The object of the game though - don't let them get to you. The stuff they'll say will hurt & pierce you, but if you show no emotion & ignore it, they'll eventually get tired of making fun of someone who doesn't respond.
To tell you the truth, wear whatever you want, hang out with who you want & if people are going to stereotype you, then they're the robots & they need to grow the fuck up. By not responding or letting this bother you, you're already a step ahead, and you're already more mature than them. You're grown up, let's see if they can try to do that too.

Hey. Judging by your age, I'm going to say you're probably in 7th or 8th grade, correct?
Anyhow, the same thing happened with me. And honestly, you ARE going to get stereotyped in junior high, no matter what. Why? Because people are JERKS.
Just ignore their comments, and if they confront you face to face, just be like 'Hey, labels aren't cool.' If you don't have enough confidence, go with a couple of friends to confront them about it, or if they even have IM that could work for your age group, too. And if they call you emo again, seriously just be like 'Okay...' and then look at their clothes and be all 'well, you're a snob, aren't you?'. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
As for being called a cutter, start wearing sweatshirts and rolling them up to your elbows to show off your cut-free wrists. That way they'll know you're not and stop saying that you are, because no cutter wears shirts that show off the wrists, I would know. I was a cutter.
As for talking to popular kids, I am shy too. Stand there and listen to the conversation, and when you hear something that you can relate to, pipe up and tell a story or tell them about it. Even a 'me too' would show you're truly interested in talking to those kids. And remember, popular kids are ONLY popular because of how confident and outgoing they are. So try and be a little more outgoing, although it's not easy to get used to.
Hope I helped!
