I got kicked out of school a few years back (Trust me it was undeserved, and the whole situation was ridiculous) A terrible, untrue, rumor about me had started and it has stayed with me for the past 4 years. Im 16 now and still have people ask me about it. Its gotten to the point where I am even afraid to go to certain places because I'm worried Ill see someone from my old school. Almost everyone in my city knows who I am and when they see me I'm always scared if they have "heard" about me. Im not that kind of person and I hate that they think that. I don't know how to get away from that rep and the fear I have of seeing people I know and what they might say or do. I have seen them since leaving and I can't stand the looks i get and the snickering. I got so tired of it and hit one of the girls (She was really mean) I broke her nose and they pressed charges (That was really bad).

I don't know what to do other than leave and Ive lost all my friends and have become really really depressed.
