People think I'm gay?

but they must have picked up on something... still wish I knew what.

Believe me when I say, you just happened to be there. If it weren't you, it would have been someone else. And often, probably was.

That's basically what those sort of guys do, use others to justify their own inadequacies.

I know that sounds glib and a bit cliche. I remember having thing said to me.

I'm sorry beautiful one, but it's true.

What you need to get into your head though, it was never personal. No matter how much it felt like that.

Spacial is right. If you look at the history of these people they are looking to do this to others too. Every school has them.  You are not the only victim unfortunately. I was picked on for my religion. Others I knew were picked on for thier wieght or handicaps. Sometimes people are simply selfish and stupid. It has nothing to do with you.

Much Love and many Hugs to all.
Happy New Year.

Noone outright says they think I'm gay... Although I'm a bit of an outcast, I do have pretty good status in the school. I'm the only one in the school who knows how to do 3d animation or computer graphics, so they rely on me for all that stuff. Noone wants to piss me off for fear of losing my help lol

You have a lot more going for you than they do for themselves, and they probably know it.  The ones who hassle you are not worth your time.  Think about it.  These are the kind of people for whom "normal" includes having babies at the age of 15, being a grandparent at the age of 30, dropping out of high school, selling drugs, doing time in prison, making minimum wage, living in a run-down shack or trailer that you can't afford to heat in the winter or air-condition in the summer, turning to drugs/booze/religion as the only way to feel good about your life . . .  If you're so inclined, you might feel sympathy for the ones who are nice to you.  But do you really want to be accepted as one of them?

You're really lucky to have an imagination, computer skills, and a clear sense of who you are.  These things will give you what it takes to get out of there and build for yourself the life that you want.  You're 16.  You can get out of there soon, and life will get much better.  Soon enough, you'll barely know those people, so don't worry about them.  Worry about your future.  Focus on choosing the right college for you, doing what it takes to get in, applying for scholarships, and building your 3D animation business.  In 10 years time, these people will be bragging about having gone to school with you, while you'll be entertaining your friends and colleagues with amusing stories about them.  Believe me - it'll be humorous in retrospect.

Noone bothers picking on the handicapped kids, cuz they wouldnt understand it... Unfortunatly, we have a massive amount of mentally handicapped students, probably due to incest... Like I said, redneck central lol
