I was telling a couple of guys at school about this http://www.geek.com/articles/games/...lion-to-mw2-infinity-ward-employees-20120515/ and wile I was explaining what was going on, one of the guys looked at me like I was a complete idiot and started to point at me. The other guys knew what I was talking about but that one guy was kind of mocking me. I didn't mind at first, until next period I asked my partner about the basketball game we had today he told me about the opponents then he said I'm stupid and went back to his work. Then in art I asked one of my partners if he was mad at me or something then he looked at me and said dude" you're sooo f*ckn stIupid man. I swear to god man shut up now your starting to piss me off." Then after school I was chilling with one of my friends then his girlfriend came and he introduced me to her and said "This is Christian, the stupid one". Now it's really starting to bug me, people at my school think I'm actually stupid. Plus they think they know me (Character wise) when they haven't even seen the real me. They say they know how I am and how I act, but now it's really bothering me now. How do I prove them all wrong?
Sounds like your friends are jerks. If these are your "friends" you should probably look into getting better ones. I always had good laughs with my friends, we'd call each other names, but that's just how we were. If they can't see that this is bothering you then they're not your friends. Friends have your back no matter what. Friends don't call you stupid. I would've already beat the **** out of those guys if I was you. My best friend since fourth grade and I have never been into a serious argument. When one of us was down the other was there to pick him up. The one time someone actually thought we were fighting was just me and him messing with each other on the drive to school. We always had fun together and nothing like this had ever happened. I wouldn't take **** like this from my worst enemies, so you can imagine what I think about "friends" doing that.
Nights' right. If they are seriously going to call you stupid over such a trifle matter then it's really not worth dealing with. What's worse is that they allowed it to spread to others. If the first few were just guys you just spoke to then that's better, in the aspect that it shouldn't be too hard to just cut ties with them. However having such a thing going around can be bothersome, I know. If simply just ignoring both them and the rumor doesn't work at first then prove them wrong with your grades. And by studying about things you talk about and care for, so you'd never be wrong about it or able to called stupid. If they call you if even when you're right then that alone proves their idiocy. You can even laugh, right after they've said it, and walk away. In most cases not knowing why you laughed drives them crazy, or at least throws them off. In the end maybe finding some people who aren't so rude would help. In that case you can just talk to them and no one else; doing so blocks all negative words out and you create your own world within that group. Things bugging you then gets pretty hard, and if they do get to you you'd have people backing you up. Even one friend would do.
It sounds like your "friends"... might not really be friends at all, unless that is... They probably didn't mean spreading such a rumor out? Some people do make unintended mistakes, and they just need that flaw pointed out. But if they did mean it maliciously, getting that rumor spread throughout the school, do your best to ignore them. Don't let their snarky remarks get to you, that you're no good, because you are. You have talent, a kick ass personality... but most importantly, you are yourself. They don't know you, and they can never take that away. My advice? You might need to start looking for a better crowd. As far as I know, friends stick together, and have a laugh. They don't go running off behind your back spreading all kinds of rumors just to hurt each other. I'm so sorry... its just, they sound like real jerks to me.
If they're pissed about an article--**** with that. Find new friends who'll appreciate who you really are. I don't think those friends of yours are that nice. I haven't met them--but that's what I think. Do they talk behind your backs often? If they do--they're not real friends.
