My girlfriend is apparently a loser! What do I do?
We're both 17 and I really like this girl for her personality. When I first saw her she was amazingly cute but the second time she wasn't as attractive but still wasn't bad. We're still going out and one of my friends that goes to her school (we're in different schools) told me that she looks ugly in school and she has no friends. She told me she doesn't try in school before and she's a knew kid (came in 9 months ago). I like her but I don't like facing the ridicule that I get. He's like "how low have your standards dropped". I haven't introduced her to any of my friends yet but I will Saturday. She's amazing but what do I do about the people talking sh*t? I also do care about looks, so how do I tell her to start trying in school. I know this sounds shallow but I really don't know what to do.

You don't seem shallow at all. In fact, it's your friends that seem shallow. You just seem worried about what others will think of you. Put yourself in her shoes, would you want to be dumped for being ugly and not having any friends? Maybe its not her fault if she is this way. You should feel special that you're able to enjoy her personality while others can't. If she makes you happy, than stay. If it worries you that much, I would introduce her to your friends, so they see how awesome she is :)
Also, based on your personality, I get the feeling that if you did dump her to save your reputation, you would feel guilty for a REALLY long time afterwards.

If you really like her, ignore all the rude comments about her. When you care about someone, it shouldn't matter what everyone else thinks. You're the one dating her, not them. Also, about school, I guess you should just tell her all the consequences of not doing your best in school (example: you could end up working at McDonald's for the rest of your life if you can't get into a good college because of your poor grades). But don't be mean, though.
Hope this helps :)
