Bullying?

Question

Hi everyone this is probably not the place for this post but I feel like I won't get bias answers from people I don't know(: 
 
 So I'm a junior in high school and I'm activley involved. I'm captain of the varsity cheer team and tennis team. I do very well in tennis and getting looked at by colleges this season! I'm single and I used to have a crush on this boy but ever since I realized I had a chance for college I've kinda focused more I'm school. I take all AP and honors courses at my school and do very well in them. The problem I'm having is stress and anxiety. Recently I've been called names at school by the colored boys (I'm sorry if this offends anyone) but things like slut, whore, hoe and all those names. Rumors have been spread that I sleep everyone but I just don't know why? Even my co captain of cheer calls me these names and laughs at me. I've began being scared of walking from class to class by myself because of all the things I hear. Not only that but I'm having a very hard time at home. I live in two houses and I don't feel welcomed in any. My mom got a new husband and I've been neglected. I love my mom but our relationship has fallen apart. My  other house is my grandparents but they're becoming old and cranky which I understand. So they try to argue with me at all times. I used to be very depressed and thought about self harming again but Ik I shouldn't. I've developed a bad habit of drinking when I'm sad. Not drunk but just lock myself in my room and drink a little. I'm scared I'll become addicted. I used to love school but now I regret waking up everyday.

I know I should tell someone about this but I just can't. I feel like they won't believe me because my counsellors have a better relationship with the group of bullies. I've tried telling some teachers but they just say to ignor it.  The kids criticize my body and full figure which I just don't understand.

Thank you for your advice and comments.

This is my best friend❤️
This is my other friend at the courts💚
And this is my body they all make fun of

Next time someone calls you a whore or a slut, look them dead in the eyes and say "and yet I still won't fuck you" and walk away.

I know it's really hard, and I'm so so sorry you're going through this. You're doing amazing with your schooling & honestly your body is what I aspire to look like! & you're a very beautiful girl. I'd say they're jealous that you're pretty much perfect and they have to try to bring you down to feel better about their insecurities.

Answer

Highschool is rough. I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. I was teased and bullied from middle school and all of highschool. Kids called me sasquatch, ugly etc. Most of the time, girls will bully and name call because they're jealous or miserable themselves. Misery loves company. Guys will say those things because they know they can't have you or because you won't/don't pay attention to them. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and are headed in the right direction. Don't let these miserable people distract you from your goals, sweetie. In regards to the drinking, stop now. It may just be a little now but it will snowball and get out of control really quickly. That small, temporary comfort may seem great at the time but it's not worth it! Try to find something, anything else to take your mind off of things. Try listening to music, draw, paint or write. I started drinking at a young age (highschool) and I ended up in some dark periods. Drugs and alcohol only mask the pain, they don't take it away. The pain will always come back until you deal with it head on. Talk to a school counselor or therapist. My heart breaks for you because I've been where you are and I know how bad it hurts right now. Just remember, there's a light at the end of the tunnel; stay focused on the positive.
