Hello my name is Chris Dresden and I would like to change my name, I am really strongly considering it because i get walloped pretty bad for it at my HS. In class im sometimes subjected to laughter and it makes me really embarrassed, as a student and to one who comes off on a teacher as a guy who actually looks pretty chill, but obviously isnt... So im called things like Lesden, lesbien,(like even though im a guy...?:P) and mostly the way I dress, which is very casual,and i take it pretty hard(Dresden crap[dressed in crap] stuff like that). Sure I Have friends but thy cant help making a comment about it if I talk about something even remotely related to gayness or cloths, so I stay away from that alltogether. My stomach kinda...notches.? When I hear the word lesbian(even in standup) because thats what people call me and I have the feeling if those people then knew me, theyd say it too. I asked my dad if he could change my name to something different, but hes not sure if he can.Can he??

They will make fun of any name you pick, that's what mean people do. School doesn't last forever, buck up, stick it out.
To change your name, your dad has to go to the court house, file paperwork, pay money, go in front of a judge, explain why he wants it changed, wait for the judge's decision and signature on the papers.

The same idiots that are teasing you at school right now may have to call you Dr. Dresden in the future. What I am trying to say is that high school kids are cruel and they sometimes seem determined to make your life miserable. Then they grow up and most of them find better things to do with themselves. Your best bet until then is to make like it doesn't bother you when they call you names. Laugh along with them, don't let them laugh at you. When their cruelty doesn't get the results they want, they will eventually stop.

it is possible to change you name, but if you did you might as well change it to...
first name: hey bullies
second name: you win
if they find out you've changed your name because of them, do you not think you will still get called those previous names, or get bullied even more simply for the fact you went to all the trouble of changing your name because of them?
take it on the chin and get on with it, name calling is the most common form of bullying and it can be very hard i know, but the best thing to do is dont let it phase you. its obviously really hard for you (the whole stomach notching thing) but seriously, at the end of the day it means absolutely NOTHING and you should do your best to rise above that childish behaviour
chin up, remember - you might have it pretty rough now, but things could be worse
good luck!
