A bunch of people in my school discord were shaming me for wearing a mask, and when I argued about it they said I was just ugly and wanted to hide it and also that covid was just a cold. The worst part is that one of them was a comrade.

I feel like I can't trust anyone I know anymore, just a few close friends.

Punch them in the throat. When they say they can't breath tell them that will be them without mask.

On a more serious note, others in the thread have made good points.

I'm sorry to hear that. High school? Teenagers can be cruel. Anyone that called you names or ugly is in for a rude awakening once age sets in, even in the next few years. Beauty fades and it fades quick. Then all they'll be left with is their egos, bitter shells of their past life.

If they're against masks, they're probably also getting that idea from their shitty parents. It might be fair to expect some apology DMs years from now as people realize what shitheads they were when they were younger. Because of mob mentality, I bullied this girl hard when I was in primary school, along with everybody else. I apologized years later and thinking about it sometimes still keeps me up at night. This will pass. Pettiness and ugliness are ubiquitous in adult life as well, but those people are more often than not ostracized and humiliated for bullying others rather than how it happens in high school. I don't know if this is just a platitude or what, but try to remember that this will pass and you're on the right side of history here. I hope you're okay comrade, but I think you will be.

I assume you live in the US, I wouldn't mind about their opinion a lot to be fair, except a very small amount of people everyone who lives there are in a state of delusion about almost every topic you can think of. Try to get a few friends who you know you can trust, tell the rest to fuck off, they're probably going to die of the new Covid variant anyway, specially with how the government is taking care of that.

I've stopped wearing a mask because the government here in Portugal has declared that Covid is now a normal disease. That's right, if you become infected you have to come to work and there is no isolation anymore. This is irresponsible. So I'm not sure if there's a point in continuing to wear a mask, since they seem to be actively trying to get everyone infected.

i still wear a mask indoors whenever possible and avoid long stints indoors in public. covid is not over. dont let schoolmates tell you whats right, they are probably just bullying for the fun of it
