honestly, you shouldn't really care what people think of you. but it will take time, if people ask about your past say that it is the past and i'm a different person now. just keep your head up, and never get offended if people talk about you, they want you to get upset, in order for people to like you must do the same and not take criticism.
hopefully the rep will go away soon, stay strong!

You probably have a bad reputation because you changed from emo/scene to preppy. What's that called? Poser, I believe. You're labeling yourself, which you really shouldn't do. Just be yourself. When you start labeling yourself, people are going to label you. Get used to it.

Edit: From the rating you gave me, I guess you weren't really looking for help. More like sympathy?

The best advice I can give you is to talk to people, try to make friends or make peace, and show them how different you really are now and that you're a cool person, etc. The best way I can think of doing that is join something, do something that shows how talented and cool you are, people will look up to you for that and see how different you are now.

just be yourself.
time will pass and people forget.
and seperate yourself from those people that give you a hard time.
and i'm assuming your in 8th grade? if you are. high school. you can reinvent yourself. and if your in 9th. your just a little freshie :) theres time for changes. everybody changes.
don't change yourself for others. do it for yourself.

Never become someone people like, become someone YOU like. When I was younger, I changed "labels" so much and I was goth, punk, ghetto, preppy, etc, etc! We all change, and when we're younger, we change constantly. I'm sure other people you know have changed who they are too. If someone brings it up or asks about it, just say "I am who I am. People change" or "That's what I used to like, but I changed and grew up." That should shut them up. People will like you if you like yourself and you're a good person.
