If you hear them, turn on your heel right back toward them, walk up to the one who appears to be the ring-leader, and tell them, "You know what? Whether I am or not is moot. [Make them look it up!] But I DO know that a few years from now, I am going to have a LOT of men liking what they see in me. Unfortunately, you are probably still going to be jerks. It takes boys a lot longer to mature than girls, you know. Your standards may change a bit, and you may even find you like the way I look, or the way I am, but I will remember EACH and every one of you. I will also make sure that all my friends know all of your names, and what you do behind peoples' backs. You're going to have a LONG and LONELY career in school." Then turn and walk away. It's the nice way to tell them to kiss your *ss! ;-) Don't let them bring you down. They're idiots, and don't realize that girls change quite a bit between certain ages, say until college. And, it's quite true. Their tastes will change, too, as will their knowledge and experience. They may actually learn that personality means a helluva lot in a relationship. Don't ever let them bring you down to their level. Don't let the jerks make you cry. Love yourself. Become comfortable in yourself. You are better than they. Remember that. And, if you are friends with anyone those jerks are or wish to go out with, then DO make sure they know what type of boys they are. ;-)

They are stupid because the are teen boys. Now, I question how you KNOW that they are talking behind your back (unless you have eyes in the back of your head). What you could do is not worry about it. Confidence is always attractive.

Forget about teen boys. Wait until the end of high school. It gets much better for all of us, trust me. People can be animals in high school. And remember, you don't need a boyfriend, and you definitely don't need other people to approve of you. Screw them!

They have no self esteem, no manners and nothing of value to contribute to you so why do you care? Get them gone.
