I think it also has to do with the age of kids and that they are jealous of you being skinny. I educated all my friends of what CF was and they still went to the social worker and said that I was anorixic. They just didn't believe that CFers were skinny, or they just didn't want to believe. There are just people out there that need to cause drama I think. These same people 10 years later can't believe they did that.

to add one more thing... it's all in how you present it.
if you get defensive or act embarassed or like you're trying to hide something, peopel will suspect something strange is going on.
on the other hand, if you're very calm, pleasant and matter-of-fact about it, and act like it's no big deal but you're happy to educate them, the people will treat it like it's no big deal as well. people take their cues from YOU!
1/2 of what you communicate isn't the words that you use, but rather your body language, tone of voice, etc. focus on that <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

People used to whisper about me being anorexic, eating disorders, that kind of crap.
Or when you cough they think you have a cold or you're a smoker, "cut down to a pack a day, why don't ya?"
People (especially in high school) are rude jerks. they should focus attention on themselves.
You're right it is stressful. but don't feel guilty.
only explain it to them if you want to. otherwise, screw them. if they actually gave a damn, they ASK you rather ACCUSE you.
the way I got the kids in my elementary school to stop talking about me was I did a class project (where you had to read your report in front of the whole class) on CF.
that did the trick.
then in high school I did an article on it for the school paper. I had my name on the story but didn't say I had it. that was more a subtle approach, ah well.
Good luck. remember, school doesn't last forever. it'll get better soon <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Yeah i get the odd coment now and then about being skinny and short but i know there just messing and joking because i've explained about cf to them so i dont take it very personally, so maybe if you told your mates that you have cf they would be more understanding.
