The new form of bullying aka slut shaming
Slut shaming is not new it's been going on a while and it has to stop. I have personally been affected by it and know first hand the effects of it. My roommate in college called me a whore loudly so other people could hear because she saw a boy in the room. I heard she talked badly about me on social media and nobody really associates with me anymore. I'm tired of the double standard why am I called all kinds of names for expressing my sexuality? If a guy does it he's praised for it I don't get it. We should be able to express ourselves without being criticized.

Hi, Brei. I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. I agree, that sort of bullying needs to be stopped. It is never appropriate and is harmful to anyone that it is directed towards. Your friend was not acting appropriately when she called you that name in front of people, or when she was spreading negative opinions about you online. I suggest confronting her directly regarding those issues if you have not already done so. If she does not listen or does not seem to be taking you seriously, I would then go to a staff member of your university to help you confront the problem appropriately. There are people on your campus who are more than willing to help you out in situations like this, and are better equipped to handle it. I would also talk to friends who have seemingly stopped associating with you and try and clear up what is going on. I hope everything gets sorted out! I want you to remember that you are never what your roommate called you. Try not to let her get you done. Stand up for yourself and keep in mind that the truth always provails in the end. ( : Hang in there!

@LovelyBrei You're welcome. Perhaps other girls can use both your story and my advice to help themselves combat this issue. Thanks for having the courage to share your story!
