Why are girls in my high school saying they are vampires?

Asked by Esculent (48points) January 30th, 2010

They sit right behind me and right next to me in almost every class I have and they are always asking if they can bite my neck and they are serious about it. I feel uncomfortable when people ask me that so what should I do. I am actually serious this is getting weird and they are not flirting because they do this to everyone and we all want to hide in a field of garlic. Should I just let them get over this phase over time or what?

Tell them to stop, assertively. It’s a fad in pop culture right now and these girls have taken it to far. Actually, the vampire obsession is a common thing in the teen world currently. I guarantee it will die out sooner or later…and then the next hyped “thing of hotness” will come.

Really, just make it clear that you won’t put up with it. Get a teacher’s backing if necessary. And remember, this is a passing thing.

Either they’re dumb pop culture girls who are caught up in the wave of Twilight…
Or they’re dumb anti-culture girls who are fascinated with normal vampires (Dracula, etc.).

Either way it boils down to being dumb. Tell them this.

Vampires are popular at the moment and they are idiots.

Make them watch this episode of South Park and maybe they’ll realize they’re being a little too much like Butters. And who wants to be like Butters?

DeanV's avatar

Because they suck.

Eventually this fad will fade and another fad, just as annoying, will take its place.

Do not worry about this “vampire” thing… it is hooey. Well, it is annoying hooey.

Hey! Blood is yummy tasting; like salt and stuff…

They’re probably stupid Freshman tweens anyways.

HungryGuy's avatar

Nah, blood tastes metallic. High iron content.

because either 1) daddy didn’t give them enough hugs or 2) he gave them too many.

Ask if you can bite them back :)

Tell them that they are crazy. Seriously. I’m sure they just wish they were part of Robert Patterson’s vampire crew. What a bunch of tools.

Well this is happening at my middle school too. It all started cuz of twilight. Just ignore it or say something to freak them out. say something like “can i eat you” lol. hopefully everyone will relize no matter how hard they try, they cant be a vampire:)♫

Say yes to them. Maybe if you actually act like you will like it it might weird them out.

faye's avatar

@willbrawn I gave you a GA and then I thought what if they actually go for his neck then?!

Spinel's avatar

@faye He could sue and make a fortune early in life…it’s still a sterling deal. ;)

Tell them “Hell yes! It gives me wood. But only if you let me stake you.”

Nullo's avatar

Tell ‘em about Abraham Van Helsing. It’ll confuse them in the long run, but you might mess up their fun in the short term.

Alternatively, you could talk about the ways that Twilight reflects the faith and conservative beliefs of its author. Like true vampires, annoying mainstream Twilight fangirls cannot abide faith and sermons. Be warned that this might turn to actual persecution.

Well .. some girls when i went to school tryed being a horse and she thought she was on and use to gallop around OMG!

belakyre's avatar

They’re unhappy with being themselves and so become nobodies.

Think that and say to them “I’m afraid of nobody.”

While they’re trying to figure that out, slip away.

KimKourtKhloe's avatar

Because it’s cool right now. Bella wants to be one so…omg so does everyone else! lol.

OpryLeigh's avatar

Tell them to stop being sheep and get off the vampire bandwagoon, it’s not unique and they need to start thinking for themselves.

Or you could just ignore it and wait for them to jump on the bandwagon of the next fad that comes along.

Silhouette's avatar

Really? High school? How embarrassing.

mattbrowne's avatar

Because they like metaphors.

HungryGuy's avatar

Uhm… “high school students” and “thinking for themselves.” I think you’ve got mutually exclusive concepts there…
