+ first of all how do they know you are a Wicca? do you tell them? Secondly, try not to give them a reason to bother you or tot you. lastly do something that is really nice for them when they don't expect it and that may turn them around.
GOOD LUCK

When I was in high school (I'm not sure if you're still in school or not), our school newspaper did an article on Wicca. I thought it was really enlightening because it dismissed a lot of common misconceptions about it. For me, it made me view Wicca in a totally new light. I'll be honest, some people were very angry about the article. . . but I think that it really opened some people's eyes about what it means to be Wicca. If you're not in high school, look into maybe writing a letter to your local newspaper about how you feel. The best you can do is to try and educate people about what you believe, and show them that it is not this horrible thing that they think it is.
I'm sorry that people are giving you a tough time about what you believe. I know that I've felt the same way. . . I lived in a small town growing up, and people were constantly ignoring me or saying stuff about how I'm wrong because they didn't understand my religion. I just couldn't understand why people would be so mean. Looking back on it now, those things have made me into an open-minded and accepting person. While I am comfortable with my religion, I don't expect everyone to follow it. Likewise, I like to understand what other people believe, but I do not have to adopt their beliefs for myself.
Stay strong!! I know it's hard now, but things will get easier with time! I hope my advice has helped you!

You learned something. I'm 60 and go to a Unitarian Universalist church. There are about 10 Wiccans in it, out of 165 total members. They are fairly cautious about who they tell. Most of their friends and co-workers don't know. Only one of them allows her name on the web site when they put up an announcement about a gathering. If "toting" means "taunting", all you can say is "I don't taunt you for your religious beliefs. Please don't taunt me for mine".
On a side note, people would have more respect for you if you'd compose your message in Word or Yahoo! mail or something else that had a spell checker, spell check it, then cut and paste it into the message box. Your sentence has at least three typos. I think you mean:
I'm Wiccan and people won't leave me alone. They won't stop taunting me. What do I do?

I would be interested to know what you told your friend to make her scared of you. I come from a long line of Christians, so when my nephew decided to convert to Wicca, I was uneasy; however, I have neither seen nor heard anything from him about his Wiccan belief to make me fearful.
You are what you are, if it is something you are ashamed of, change it.
By the way, misspellings can be easily done away with by clicking the "check spelling" feature on the top, right of the text box.

Wiccans participate in various activities that suggest witchcraft to most people, such as covens, magic, spells, new-age, etc. These things are NOT from God and so people are not generally accepting it, they are not understanding it and /or they fear it. If you are Wiccan you should understand that you have joined into something that can be harmful to you in the long run and if this is what you want to be and you want to remain with that belief system, then you must face the consequences. People will not leave you alone, they may not trust you at all. There is really nothing you can do about it.

Well there's really not much you can do about it. You just pretty much have to wait it out until they accept who you are or ignore them. My mom was so mad when she found out I was changing my religion to Wicca. But she eventually got over it. Find people who are Wiccan and associate with them. Maybe then can help you along the process. You know what they say, "Birds of a feather flock together." Other than just finding common interest people, theres really not much you can do.

Only thing you can do is ignore them, Don't let them get u down or bother you and for sure dont let them know it bothers you, because that will make them keep doing it.

Well Honey I'll tell you this, you follow whatever religion you want but when you tell me this I can only say your not true to your religion. Why are you afraid to stand up and tell the world, I am about my religion.
I'm proud of mine, Mine has been in existence for 2500 years and it's still standing, how about you. You seem to be ashamed of yourself, are you looking for pity here. You won't get it from me.
