I don't really fit the image of the typical high schooler.
1. I have no interest in fashion at all. My hair is unstyled, my fair is free of makeup, and I tend to wear plainer clothes. Basically, I'm rather low-key in appearance.
2. My tastes and interests don't exactly fit the norm. I'm sure there are other teens who share my interests but I'm definitely not part of the majority.
3. In middle school, particularily in 8th grade, the "popular" kids looked down on me because of these reasons. I could live being ignored, but it was worse than that. Certain kids would mock me as if I was completely unaware of anything and wouldn't be effected by it.
Now, I don't want to become what I scorn, but at times the way they treat me is too much to bear.
How can I maintain my identity and integrity without becoming the mockery of the whole school?
