I just did not understand what was going on, why I was picked to harass. However, I was probably just an easy target because I was so passive.
Throughout the first years of high school, there were rumors that I was a slut, easy, etc. However, I was a shy virgin! The major misconception was that because most of my friends were male, I had to be sleeping with them. Why else would anyone want to be around me?
Also, because I was so shy/quiet, a lot of people spread rumors that I was a stupid ditz. However, I was always in the enriched/honors programs, so how these rumors lasted so long is beyond me! I guess I do laugh and smile a lot, but life is too short to take everything so seriously.

While it was tough being called a slut and threatened physically as I walked down the halls in high school, I truly learned how to be independent and not care what anyone says/thinks. It is funny - it seems once I stopped truly caring (and moved to another school district), people started recognizing that I was not an unintelligent easy ditz, but rather a quiet friendly nerd!
Except for the honors classes, this is me...how wierd.
I was called a 'slut' in high school as well and I never had a date! I was a virgin until I was almost 19. I was extremely shy( a friend called it 'painfully shy');if anyone talked to me, I blushed and hid under my hair.
I too had been threatened to get beaten up several times-I have no clue why. When I walked away from one girl determined to punch me out between classes, I was 'congratulated' for doing so by a couple of kids. I was too shook up to respond! I hated high school for those reasons.
There will always be lies or at least misconceptions-we all make them when we don't take the time to know one another or know why they do what they do.
