Dramatic? Yes. But true? Absolutely. I feel like nobody respects or takes me seriously at school, and people talk down to me all the time. I'm not socially awkward or bad looking. But I have a really low SMV, so people talk down to me and think of me as a loser. It isn't like I'm bullied or anything, but there are lots of times when I've been excluded from conversations, shit like that. It is mostly minor, but it really bothers me. I want to be respected. I'm already involved in sports and activities, all of which I'm actually really good at: quiz bowl, newspaper, mock trial, cross country, tennis. People also generally seem to like me, but the never respect me. I already lift. What else can I do?
