I just don't know what to do. I am 17. It's the car my parents gave me and people base their perceptions of me on the car I drive. I have a bmw and now it seems like so many things have changed. No one drives one in my school, i don't live in the best city either nor go to the best school. All of a sudden I am a "stuck up ***** that thinks she's better than everyone" boys think I do not like them because they do not drive the car I drive or have a car like it. I've always had a lot of friends and I'm nice. I never bragged about my car, never told anyone what car I had got, never talked about it because I sorta knew people were gonna look down on me because of it. I just don't understand why something as simple as a car (everyone drives bmw's) could change how someone views another. I know these kids have seen BMW's on the road before. I am not my car. AND THEN you have people going "oh she's "rich" she doesn't do this or that" or w/e. im not even rich man and im not stuck up or prissy.

I also had this one situation where a guy told me I was cute but I probably am stuck up and thought I was too good for guys who don't drive cars like mine. I really liked him and told him that it's not like that but they just never believe me.

Your true friends won't judge you and the others don't really matter. If you want to drive your car to school do so. If you feel that uncomfortable with it, then leave it at home. Kids can be very cruel and mean. Just be yourself and don't let their foul dispositions affect your attitude and the way you feel about yourself. God Bless You!

People who are doing that are doing it because they're young and don't know any better. Ignore them and drive the car to school.
That's what kids do. When I was a kid we moved into a new development that was nice but by no means "deluxe", and I was teased about living on "milllionaire acres" by kids who knew it was a nice street but didn't know how modest a street - in the scheme of life - it really was. Again, kids don't know anything. They'll get their minds off the car after a while.

You shouldn't stop driving your car to school just because of what other kids are saying. It's high school, people are going to talk s**t, that's just the way it is. The people that start treating you different just because of the car you drive are just jealous, don't let it bother you. Just keep being yourself and don't let their impressions get to your head. Don't prove them right and start making your car who you are, keep being a great friend and eventually they'll get over it and find something else to talk about.

I wouldn't let someone's jealousy choose the car i drive.

many people will feel jealouse when they see that there mates have better posessions than they do. its only human. my advice, continue being who you were even before the "BMW" phase, you will probably win back your circle before long!
