i have a problem....
okay, not to sound vain and all, but i'm a <deleted> year old abercrombie model...like i'm on their websight, in their magazine, and on the walls in some of their stores...
i love it so much, but lately i've been thinking of quitting, because every guy likes me, and because of it every girl hates me...i only have 2 GIRL friends and they've told me that when a new girl comes to school, like all the other girls go, "Yeah, Abby's an abercrombie model, she's all stuck up." and stuff like that. It hurts my feelings that they dont even know me and say this stuff about me. I'M NOT STUCK UP AT ALL!!!! i love modeling and it's like my life, but i'm thinking about quitting so girls will like me more...what shoud i do?????? HELP

u shouldn't stop doing something you love because of what others think, it's a jealousy issue, don't stop modeling because you wan't girls to like you more. just keep being youself, if they can't see you for who you really are then that's their problem and they don't deserve your friendship
I agree with the others who have advised you not to give it up just because of what your so-called friends think of you, but at the same time it might help if you stopped totally identifying yourself with modelling? You may not be aware of this but I do get the impression that you have a tendency to "rub it in" a bit (just look at the user name you chose!) and probably mention the modelling a lot more than is necessary (and to be honest why mention/point it out at all? You are YOU, not a brand name or a piece of clothing! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/confused.gif ).
You may not be a stuck up person but someone who's constantly going on about how they're a model and did so-and-so for Company X is going to come across as a phoney and a bore, no matter what you're really like personality-wise.

Hey Abby I think it is cool that u are a model!
If you have 2 good friends then I wouldnt worry about a thing. If the girls hate u for being a model or whatever then they arent worth hanging out with anyway..
If those girls say one more thing to you about it just ignore it say "yeah whatever"..
much love

Alright, When you're really pretty it is very rough. Girls are very very very jealous of other girls. If I were you I wouldn't talk about being an abercrombie model. Let others discover on their own. This will make you look very self-confident and like you have a secret life that no one else can understand. Don't quit modeling. Quit talking about it. When I see a guy who brags about how tough he is. I'm not scared. When I find out that the quiet guy at the gym is rumored to be a hitman, I start to wonder.
Remember to branch out. Invite friends and friends of your friends. Create groups. Assert dominance but do so without being forceful. Make yourself a pleasure to be around, have fun, have parties.
Your modeling is another part of yourself. One that most people should not know or care about (yes you will miss classes for some shoots, try not to publicize. Also remember when you go through transition you will not be a model.) so keep others out of it.
Ok. Also. *** Abbygirl. Screw that. Clear that. Get rid of it. BIGGGG MISTAKE. You are wrapping too much of your identity in what you are, rather than who you are. Find some other name, cause that one is a turn off.
Also.. I happen to think Abercrombie guys are MUCH hotter than the Abercrombie girls... though there are some very pretty ones.
omg noooooooooo everyone!!
my name is abby...thats why me screename is abbygirl!!! it has nothing to do with abercrombie!!! PLZ dont be like everyone else and think that i am shallow.....i've only told my 2 friends about modeling and somehow everyone found out!! I SWEAR MY NAME IS ABBY
Oh Yeah...thanx everyone who replied to me...even if you thought my screename had someting to do with abercrombie...but especially to those of you who gave me advice...thank you...miranda, nick, and nik...i dont think i'm going to quit modeling...but i'm not sure, is it really worth going through this??? Please keep sending advice...and agian...thank you
dont give up modeling! it i was in modeling i sure wouldnt give it up. it sounds like so much fun and who gives a sh*t what other people think of you. they dont know you and they're already judging you. so i assume there just jealous of what you've got and mad because they want guys to like them too.
i have more faith in my sex than to accept that they're all a bunch of self-loathing jealous hags. perhaps you do not mean to come off as stuck up but it happens anyway. you may intend to seem friendly but it comes across as phony. i don't know you so i can only base my guess on your post which i'm sorry to say comes across as "stuck up".
i'm not getting mad because i think everyone should have their own opinion, but how was my post "stuck up" hyzenthlay? i was just asking for help on my problem and i'm sorry if that seems "stuck up" to you....
Hey abby,
lol. honestly, i kind of agree with how ur message comes stuck up. its not ur fault though, but it seems like your kinda trying to brag...maybe if you concentrated more on not bragging and forgetting about what ppl thing...ud have more girl friends.i didnt try to sound rude, i mean everyone has their stuck up moments!! lol. hope this helped a bit.
Finally some clarification! I didn't even realize abbygirl could also mean abercrombie girl. I assumed it was her name and was about to reproach someone for saying her sn was stuck up lol. Well at least I correctly assumed it was her name, even though I still feel a bit silly for not putting the two together.
girls hate me...guys like me..HELP
