Hey guys,
Here's the situation:
I'm a 16 year old still going to high school. I'm fairly popular and have many friends of my age and older but I don't interact with younger students (except for a mentoring program I'm in, but they're like 5-6 years younger.).
I use public transport to get to school and back home and there's a group of three kids (they're about 13-14 years old) knowing my name from somewhere and annoying me at the bus stop/in the bus by simply insulting me (i.e. they get somewhere near me and start talking really loud about stuff like my ex and how cool I must've felt when I had a girlfriend and then switching to them looking at me and one of them saying "You are gay" and laughing like little girls).
Stuff like having a girlfriend spreads like fire at my school so I'm not surprised they know that stuff and normally it wouldn't even bother me since it just makes me feel like a celebrity and I know that none of them has the confidence to hold eye contact with me when they're alone. I'm sure that I am the one making out with the girls they jerk off to on facebook.
But it started to be a problem since they also start doing it when I'm talking to a girl and they're standing near us and start talking about me + I hate getting attention from the whole crowd on the bus and get really self conscious about what they're gonna think etc. (Note: This normally never happens to me. I am one of the most confident out of my class and social circle)
I feel ridiculous for asking for advice on here about something like that, but I really don't know how to deal with it.
Thanks in advance!
