I (16f) am very short and petite. It's been my defining feature in people's eyes for years, and I've recently become very tired of it. This guy from school has been crushing on me, and my dad suggested I give him a chance. I went to his house one night, and his friends were there. They were amused by me. They gave me nicknames like "tiny", "mouse", "hapless", etc. When my "boyfriend" joined in, I bit back and said at least I didn't have frequent voice cracks at 17 like him.
He seemed to laugh it off, but a few minutes later, he said they had an "initiation" where you had to go outside and do a "silly dance" for 5 minutes. So he sent me out in the pouring rain, and I did it. When I walked back, the door was locked and no one answered my knocking. I had to walk a mile home in an outfit I thought he'd like. And my dad asked what I did, and said I shouldn't have insulted him.
I started putting in effort to look more scary. More punk, leather pants and jackets, that stuff. My dad grounded me when I refused to look more in line with family values. AITA?
