I feel everyone hates me.....

I just feel like everyone dislikes me for one reason or another, even some of my family members.
At school I try to do the right thing and it makes me stick out like a green thumb. It sounds weird but I swear, teens nowadays are being so strongly influenced by the wrong things that its to the point now were the right things to do are becoming taboo. A girl who i thought was my friend got upset with me the other day because I refused to talk badly about another girls clothes. Its like everybody is afraid to stand up for what's right. Is it wrong to take another persons feelings into consideration before i speak badly about them?
Its like that in my family too. My cousins shun me because I don't want to go to parties with them. They go to the pot-smoking, beer drinking shoot out type parties. I'm only 17 and they're younger than I am, I know i shouldn't be at that type of party (nor should they) so I don't go and they shun me because of that!
I feel like i'm being persecuted because I treat others the way i want to be treated. I'm just so depressed... Nobody really likes to talk to me or hang around me. Maybe I'm the one with the bad personality and just can't see it. Maybe I ended up like the type of person I never wanted to be and just don't know it.

I have very few friends at school because I refuse to be sucked into the ignorant, bullying, vindictive groups called 'popular'. Its not even really the number of friends that bothers me, its the reason why i have few friends that get to me.
I don't ever put anybody down for doing what they do. Who am i to judge? so its not like i force my opinions on anybody.

I try to live by 2 motto's that I became really inspired by. One is by Ghandi and the other is anynomous. ''Be the change you wish to see in the world'' ~ Ghandi and ''Stand for what's right even if you stand alone''. I feel sometimes i'm the only one doing this.

sorry its soooo long.

I had that problem with my family too. My step-mother (who my Dad divorced recently) was a big partier. She used to try and get me to go to the bars with her, vandalize people's lawns, flash people for drinks, etc. when I was 17. I told her I wasn't into that scene and she took it totally personally. She kept insisting she could get me into the bar, but couldn't seem to grasp that I didn't want to be there because it was against the law. She definitely had a "laws are made to make people sneakier" mentality about it.

She was also really into tanning. She used to go 2 or 4 times a week. She kept trying to get me to go with her but I didn't want to go because I am not interested in skin cancer. She got so mad and said that tanning beds don't cause cancer, only the sun does. Two years later, she got skin cancer and refused to allow her friends and family to go tanning ever again. She never admitted I was right and still held a grudge against me for refusing to go along with her in the first place. I guess it would only be okay if I got cancer right along with her.

I'm glad you didn't get any skin disorder or diseases . I don't get it, is it so bad that we choose to do the right thing?

Your philosophy does work Deepthoughts.
It doesn't seem like it now,but once youve left school
and your in the work world etc. those school peers just don't figure
on the horizon.Then the principles you live by will become an asset
you will prove trustworthy conscientious and so on.
Sorry if I sound boring about it but perhaps even Ghandi didn't enjoy
his youth with so much corruption and troubled times surrounding him.
Kind thoughts for you.....Jjulia

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!
