this isnt the right forum exactly, but its a weird problemsee, i live down the road from a high school. i could literally run and be there in 10 seconds flat. its visible from my bedroom window. Basically, in the early years of school (i didnt go to the highschool down the road, its really shitty) when i was a friendless loser with no self esteem and no ability to defend myself, id get trouble from the kids who go to the school down the road. It wasnt very often, one guy stopped me in the road, he was like 3 years older, stared me down, i stared back, he hit me in the arm (weak punch but still) and i walked away. Alot of shit like that- most kids who go there dont live near me but some do. Anyway one kid, this guy with a squeaky voice who was even more pathetic looking than i was used to call me four eyes cuz id wear glasses- he was younger than me, and i didnt like confrontation so i steered clear of him. Im not afraid now though- i can fight and most of the time, i will, but apparently some guys asked my sister 'are you maxs sister?' and its giving me an uneasy feeling- i never see kids from that high school anymore unless im home early, but i dont like the feeling of people i dont even know hating me...i dunno i cant seem to push it out of my mind.

Shit, getting a little worried

That doesn't really sound like they hate you. It just seems like they're dicks trying to pick on someone and they just happen to be aware of you and your wimpy past.

This strikes me an an example of having nothing to fear but fear itself. These things are only seen as threatening because you perceive them as threatening, and they don't seem to me as things that should necessarily be taken that way, or are desirably treated that way. These people could even turn out to be good friends if you wish it.
