The other girls my age tease me alot just because I'm a Tomboy. My friends that dont tease me just constantly talk about the boys they like and what make up would look good with the new clothes they bought and what hair styles would look cute and what shade pink to paint there nails and blahbly blahbly blah. I dont tease them because of it, I think it is mean to tease other people you should treat people the way you want to be treated! I'm just tired of being teased so much and not being invited to slumber partys because they are going to do make overs and not being able to hang out with my friends because they are always going to the mall or going to have some weird jappanese laddie paint there nails and talk on the phone and all this stuff I dont want to do. Not once have they asked me what I cared about or wanted to do or anything I'm really sick of it what should I do?

MichaelaMarlene answered Thursday January 31 2008, 5:57 pm: okay i am not going to say that i completely know where you are coming from but i love sports and being a tomboy myself. but i learned that from some gurls at my school who like some of the things i do like sports gave me some tips like i dont have to wear mak up and gurly stuff but doing it every once in awhile could help get me included. i never really changed who i really was. i still do sports and i hang with alot of the girls who play sports to. and i dont mean like the really gurlie gurlies who are just athletic. but there are some gurls like me and honestly my opinion is if your friends arent there to back you up on your opinions and include you in your life then they are not true friends. i think that you should try to find new fiends that have the same qualities and interests as you and that doesnt mean you can't be friends with the other gurls. and honestly if the friends that i hang with are not there or are being snobs then i hang with my boyfriend with his friends or some of the guys who like sports like me and that i am cool with.

There's stuff to do that isn't girly, like maybe you and your friends would have a fun time going to a paint ball place, a go-kart track, or something similar.
I don't know if that's something you think would work out, but I thought I'd throw the ideas out there.
Professor_Kaos answered Wednesday January 30 2008, 4:12 am: You have to ask yourself if your problem is that they tease you or that you don't want to be girly. If you like who you are, you will have to get used to people that don't understand. There are lots of girls that don't want to be girly though. If you do want to wear makeup more often and things like that, you can. If nobody in your family is able to help, I'm sure your friends would. If you change your image, just do it slowly. Little by little and people won't notice too much. Before long you could do anything. If you want to just stay as you are. You just need to explain to your friends that you feel left out. It's like when you and your friends would watch movies. Maybe you like comedies, maybe they like action. You find a way to make it work. Same thing with them liking makeup and you having yourlikes.
