HELP: I work as an English teacher and just bc I'm pretty, acquaintances claim I sleep with the boss?

	HELP: I work as an English teacher and just bc I'm pretty, acquaintances claim I sleep with the boss? They're unemployed although they have done postgraduate studies and just bc I said that I'm very lucky as my boss is a very good man and a good teacher so I'll gain lots of experience while working with him and learn how to do the job they started spreading rumors about me and him. I work really hard every day and I get little money so I feel very sad about their unfair judgments. What should I do? Asked By: maggie - 6/19/2010

It is very hard nowadays to come by a job even with an education. Consider yourself lucky that you were able to land one with and do not let these peoples negativity bring you down. I find that as far as we think that we have come, we really haven't. There will always be those who look upon a a**************n and think she got the job, promotion etc, not on her abilities but by who she slept with. It is despicable. It almost as if being attractive is a burden sometimes, because there are always people with something to say. Just ignore them because as educated as some people can be, they can also be very ignorant. Good luck. Answered By: gryffindoregirl - 6/19/2010

Well that sucks, I'm sorry to hear it. I'd say just ignore them and live your life to the fullest. Nothing gets back at bullies like enjoying your life despite their efforts. Answered By: galaxor, destroyer - 6/19/2010

It doesn't matter what other people think of you. As long as you know yourself that nothing is happening, then it doesn't matter what they say. Don't blow a big opportunity like that just because of 'rumors'. Why should you change who you are just to fit someone else's perspective? Do nothing and ignore the lowlifes.

OMG STUPID JEALOUS PEOPLE. Next time they do that, just be like ok. Whatever and walk away you know you are not sleeping with your boss... and the best revenge is to ignore it and show you are not upset about anything, get your job done right! And you can have real friends outside of work. Answered By: Strawberry Kicken Flave - 6/19/2010

Hi teacher, this is what life is. just don't bother and carry on to do what you think is right. we can't stop anyone from saying or doing anything. just ignore will do. think positive, guys out there were jealous cos you are prettier than them. you should feel proud instead. no worries, life are balance with the good, the bad and the ugly! cheers Answered By: Batman - 6/19/2010
