Be yourself
People need to live for themselves. If your busy trying to project an image to others, you'll soon lose who you really are. I don't care if your straight/gay/bi... be that. Show people that. Let people know you are proud of who you are.
I'm not endorsing nor advising you to flaunt it. The complete opposite. You don't need to prove to anyone who your are. If they are your friends or care about you, they will understand that. Otherwise they were never worth your time in the first place.
People need to grow up. They start rumors about things that have no bearing whatsoever on their life, and capitalize on them simply because theres nothing exciting happening in their lives. Its not just on their end that takes the blame. Its also on the end of the person being rumored about who majority of the time lets it get to them. By letting it get to them, they are failing themselves. They are letting someone elses opinions and thoughts dictate who they are. Or what image they need to project.
Who honestly cares what some random person is saying about you during this time in your life. High school on the scale of your life is but a fraction of it. A tiny piece of the accumulations of successes and failures in your life. A stepping stone to who you will inevitably become.
Will you let some other person who feelings and perspectives are not your own tell you who you will be or how you will act? Or will you show the world that you are you and damn proud of it! In 10 years do you want to look at yourself and see a mainstream conformist whose likes and dislikes, appearance and sexual orientation are dictated by society? Or will you see a unique individual who is proud of who they are with no regrets?
As the old saying goes: "Great minds DO NOT think alike, otherwise they wouldn't be great in the first place."
