Verbal Harassment issues

[noobpwner]

I am 16 and straight but have only had one girlfriend and am a virgin so i get teased a lot for being "gay". This dosent normally bother me much but sometimes people call me and my bestfriend a "gay couple". This however bothers me a lot because its hard for me to trust and be myself around other guys and the one person i truly trust i get made fun of. The other night while i was at my schools military ball some chick started asking about my "gay-lover", and i had to bite my lip really hard to keep my composure since i was in uniform. Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with her to get her to stop bothering me the next time she does this without going to school officials because i dont trust them? thanks in advance.

You could always ask her nicely to stop, and say that even though you are straight, your sexuality regardless is none of her business.

Any other ideas? She's the type of girl that can't tell when she's hurting someone even though on several occasions I have nearly cried in front of her cause of what she has said.

Don't bite your lip, voice that concern. Tell her that you do not appreciate being called a certain sexuality. I know guys don't like to tell on teachers because it made them look "weak", but don't be afraid to contact your school's counselor or homeroom teacher regarding her behavior. Verbal abuse is wrong and she needs to be told that.

If you are straight forward and smart about it, you can simply tell them that you don't enjoy being called that (Maybe don't say that exactly as it doesn't really sound smart or proper). No one has the right to verbally abuse someone else, talk to her in private and explain that she is doing wrong to you.
