*fun* At School

I can totally respect your position on this and although I think you need to not let your breasts dictate your life, I have been in a similar position. My situation is a little different but I made a choice to get a job where I worked remotely 80% of the time and only have to go into the office a few times a month. I dont think online college is a bad choice, its still productive use of your time. While your doing that you can work on your inner self maybe speak with a counselor and ease into a clas or two on campus until you can make a decision on whats your best learning environment. Love you, be ashamed of nothing, live life.

Another thing to consider is that while there are going to be superficial jerks everywhere, they tend to be found in lower concentrations in a collegiate environment than in a high school environment.

I agree 100% that you can't let other people cause this to dictate your life. At the same time, though, I realize this is probably a very, very different situation to have had to grow up with than it is to have happen after you've already established yourself in adulthood and a career.

Don't let this, and certainly not other people's reactions to this (who, frankly, should be ignored anyway, but that's much easier said than done), hold back your education or your goals; I definitely agree that online classes can be a good choice as long as they're done through a reputable school, but I also think that if you choose to take the plunge into on campus classes, too, you will likely find it not as bad as high school. How much or how little less bad than high school is something you unfortunately won't know until you try it, and that can be very scary plunge to take.

Whatever program and whatever school you choose, my only bit of advice would be to look for something that keeps your options of online versus on campus flexible. Try not to get railroaded into an online only program that might end up being more limited than what you can get in on campus classes, but at the same time you also wouldn't want to go to an on campus class somewhere, have a really bad experience that makes you want to leave, and find that you can't complete your major without doing more on campus coursework, either. The more flexible program you can find for what you want to pursue, the better. Through it all, try as hard as you can to never be ashamed of things over which you have no control, no matter what anyone else says or does about it.
