ok so ever since i was little, ive also been a tomboy, and i have also had to deal with a lot of bullying, sexual harassment and abuse.
in elementary school i was bullied because i am dyslexic and used to need a lot of help
in junior high and at the beginning of high school i was bullied and sexual harassed. the boyfriend i had at the time would attempt to do things to do me and call me bad things.
when i was REALLY little, i asked my mom to cut my hair short so that i would look like a boy, so they would play with me. otherwise, they would say "girls stinks" and send me away. my uniform at the time was a bat man shirt and grass stained shorts. i demanded to be called a kid instead of girl, i guess it was becausei wanted to be gender neutral lol.
well that has lasted over the years, i am still a bit of the tomboy. i hardly ever wear a dress. you can usually find me wearing nostalgic tshirts and dark wash skinny jeans, converse and nice jacket. i wear make up when i can..... but i never feel like i look the way i feel. i adore super adorable clothing, but at the same time i can never imagine wearing it! when i think of people i guess i would like to mimic as far as clothing goes, i think of frank iero when he still had that mo-hawk (guitarist of mcr) chris cofler's character on glee, Kurt Hummel.... and a ton of other guys in magazines
i go shopping for a dress but always come back with something usually dorky or black.
a few years ago, i cut off most of my hair, even though my family told me i looked like a boy, and that people on the street often mistaked me for a boy.
one embarrassing time was when i was with my family, when i was actually growing my hair back out and my purse was on the table by me a waitress said "what would you like to drink SIR?" pffffft.
but then their were other times, actually a lot of time when family and friends told me that seeing me with shorter hair just "fit" me. and the same can be said about a few other things... I've always been "one of the boys" it seems, only recently have i met friends who havnt seen me that way. its odd because i feel the same way i did when the boys at school wouldnt let me play with them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and idk i feel that its odd how i am attracted to boys but i honestly like looking and kinda acting like one too and am feeling really out of place right now. its my freshman year of college.

It's not unusual for a girl to have short hair or to dress in jeans and T-shirts. After all, that stuff isn't actually related to penises in any way, so there is no reason why girls can't dress like that too.
It's not unusual for tomboys to be attracted to guys either. Tomboys can be straight, gay, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or anything else.
It's also pretty common to feel a bit out of place your first year in college, or any school for that matter. You can try looking into some clubs or activities if you want to try making a few new friends.
So that none of that stuff sounds weird or like a major problem to me.
It sounds like the bullying, sexual harassment, and abuse are in the past now, not things that are still going on? If any of it is still going on or starts up again, make sure you tell someone. None of that stuff is ok regardless of how you look, the way you dress, or what your sexual orientation is. If you feel like the abuse from your past is interfering with your life now in any negative way, try talking to a professional about it. There should be someone at school that you can talk to for free.
