Help with Social Acceptance.?

I've been called gay Since the 7th grade. I'm a Freshman now, I'm the kind of guy that isn't into sports or cars. I'm a very quiet person until you get to know me. So for some reason I got labeled gay and all my guy friends disappeared. (I guess they weren't really my friends) but girls seem to except me more. Which only made my reputation worse of course. It bothers me to think that a while bunch of people at my school think I'm gay. I don't have anything against gays myself but apparently a lot of people at my school does. So how can I get this label off of me? I want to be socially accepted by everyone, but this false label makes it very hard to do.

    I once saw a guy at my school named JJ who got labeled as "gay gay" but he was eventually able to remove this label from himself. Basically the best thing you can do is dress well, be as social as you can, with guys and girls. Make an effort to do this especially in your classes. It may be daunting at first, but eventually you'll get used to it, then I'm sure your label will fade away. It might take a bit but I'm sure it will leave, good luck!
