Why Can't Guys Like Dance and Drama?

I have participated in the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge for 2 years straight. For 2 years straight I have been called a poof, f*ck head and the like just because I am good at and like dancing. Drama also bring ridicule but not as much as dancing. For both years I have ignored what all the other guys in my year have said and done what I want because I like it, and in the theory that if I don't show that it gets to me they will stop. Part reason why I did it this year was because I wanted to show them that they weren't getting through to me and no matter what they say or do I will continue what I am doing.
If there is anyone out there who has suffered the ridicule and the hurt as much as or maybe more than I have or if there is any suggestions to help me I would be more than greatful. Comments???

Cheers,
Alan Gill

Dude, ask them next time what they are good at, then ask if they enjoy it, then ask how they'd feel being ridiculed for liking it; then if they get angry(and they are bigger) kick them in the groin and "RUN BITCH RUN"(no insult here, just using the quote from scary movie). If they get you, tell me and i'll help you out....sorry my mind is playing scenarios on me again. Rellay though, what you're doing is great, don't let them get to you. They're just stuck behind a constarint they've placed themselves in. They have managed to restrict they're own freedom. You're much more free than they are, for that you will enjoy life and they'll be bored.
