Question

How can one overcome a negative reputation?

Answer 1

The worst thing you can do is live your life worrying about what people are going to say.. . Just move forward, live your life how you want to live. People are always going to talk. If you're happy with who you see in the mirror, what does it matter what anybody else thinks.

Answer 2

It takes some time....

Answer 3

First you have to own what you have done, because you can't get that time back, go get some help with this situation - consoling. Second, you have to gather yourself around new people who don't know anything about this. If worst come to worst - move away from the situation and start your life over, by going to college in another town or state, and maybe share your experience with younger girls to show them that they don't have to do what you have done to fit in. I sense that you realized that you made a mistake, not your first and I know not your last, but it's a part of growing.

Answer 4

Find a new crowd. I know how you feel. Once you cut off contact with these people, you can start new friendships and be your true self.

Answer 5

you just need to move on, put the past behinde you. Wake up everyday seeing the new day, be yourself, people will forget the rumors true or not true. best of luck, i too had a bad past, but everything is good now

Answer 6

I was young and dumb when I was 18. Anyway there are several things that can speed up the healing. One thing that most people have a hard time accepting is that you can choose your friends. Your rep is greatly determined by the friends that you have close to you.

Answer 7

O.K. good news is your 18 now and all your past actions can be left behind and considered childish mischief. Just think now you can go away to college or just move and you'll never see these people agagin . If you can't next time you see the boys and they snicker or something just tell them to get lost

Answer 8

YIKES!! Thats pretty hard core, just have to wait it out or move. Do other things, not ho like, and people will start noticing that and eventually it will go away. I'm sorry to say that they might always be around and some people just like to joke people, if it makes you feel any better, I would think these have to be some pretty lame guys who would do that anyway. Who got the sloppy seconds and thirds?. Basically they just screwed their guy friend in my opinnion.. Gross
