Stay away from them and don't lower yourself to their level.  Choose your freinds carefully as people tend to judge you based on who you choose to associate with.  why waste your time on these people?

Look hon, what they are saying is just ridiculous, honestly they are just jealous because you are smarter than they are.....the fact that you are smarter is not something to be ashamed of, for now, it may make it difficult for you in school, but think about it, in the long run, who is going to be better off, you for being smarter, or them for being immature and nasty? I think it will be you......ignore them, study hard, and get a great job, that will provide for you for the rest of your life.....

We'll start off slow:  \nMaster these three steps and you will be amazed at how much better you feel about yoruself.\n\n1) You have to understand and believe you are right. no matter what anyone says ... you are right.\n2) Stop seeking other people's approval (especially on a forum such as this).\n3)  Learn to tell people they are wrong and NEVER start a sentence with "I'm sorry, but ... ".  People are ignorant, foolish, and foul and should be called on their bullshit at every opportunity.

People are so ignorant these days! So, don't worry about anything coz they are just making fools out of themselves. I also have experienced the same problems, but I stayed patient looking for and having good friends, and I did.

Drop the ghetto slang, speak with confidence and clarity, Ask your questions and ignore the people who want to insult you.\n(report abuse really works) and people will respect you.\n{Here and in the real world}

Ignorance really gets to me.  Ignorance leads to other problems like racism, sexism and intolerance.  People spout off about stuff that they really know nothing about and I just want to smack them.

Try not to listen to what they say and ignore their comments as much as you can. The less you talk and act like you have time for them, then the more they will get the picture. Set an example for them on how one should be. They just might learn something from you indirectly.

Surround yourself with friends who are good people.  Not the ones who are selfish and only care about themselves.  Be yourself and don't give in to the pressure, in the long run none of it matters!

Just try to get out of the habit.  It could be a great first step to let them know you would like to do better too.  Stick with it keeping in mind that it will take some time to change yourself, and how others react to you.\nGood work, and good luck, I'm sure you will be happier.\n\nps Only those with limited life experience would ever confuse a nice person with a weak person.

Oh, hon... I'm so sorry.  What should you do?  Well, obviously, its important to confront them (SO MUCH easier said than done, i know).  I think that maybe you need to spend some time with yourself.  Get to know yourself, love yourself again.  Its so easy to feel bad about yourself in these types of situations, but you shouldn't.  THEY are the ones who should feel bad about themselves.  Join a group, make some new friends.  Most of all, know that you will be, someday, treated the way that you deserve.

Get expelled/excluded, then you and your silly pals can stay at home on that stupid website.\n\nHave a look at this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsgQ0Xwc7iKY8Q53CicVOt7sy6IX?qid=20061110095119AAoDENh

Just ignore them. People would rather pursue the destructive side of their own nature rather than being constructive.Have you ever noticed that bad news and gossip spreads much faster than good news? Your real friends will not either care or call you names so concentrate on them and forget the rest as I have known some exceptionally nice people who have had different physical handicaps.

Relax, a lot of us have been in the same situation.  I was never one to have many friends and because I was one of the smallest in my class a lot of people often tried to pick on me.  I learned that the best thing to do is simply not care about what other people think or say.  I learned to accept who I was and the fact that a lot of people are just mean or idiots.  In the end I had a few good friends and people left me alone because they found out they didn't matter to me and the things they said and did didn't bother me.  If they know what they do affects you then they keep doing it just because they get a reaction out of you.

Rise above it definately, well you should try to anyway. yet in this day and age that is not that easy.\nPeople who chat about others have such a low self esteem about themselves that all they do is comment on other people.\nI have never seen a content person slagging some one else off so the person who has been talking about you must be feeling bad about themselves. If you look at it like that you can see that you have already won the argument!!

Just continue being ourselves, and show them love and compassion even to the most ignorant of people. Don't force them to accept us, that will only fuel their hate towards us.
