"I'm at a new school, and I went a little crazy at a party and made out with a couple of guys. Now, Im dealing with a total reputation. How can I convince people that my behavior that night isnt the real me?"

Dear Bad Rep:
Prove by your actions that you dont deserve your bad reputation. Over time, people will begin to see the real you shine through. Keep in mind that since youre at a new school, people may still need more time to get to know you and form a better sense of who you truly are. The people who you begin to make friends with will realize you dont deserve your reputation. Your new friends are likely to help in setting the record straight.
