I have to wonder if Clodfobble pretty much figured it out in your post about employment. And Griff's point is very salient.

You need to be able to see yourself as others see you. Right or wrong you need to know what you look/seem like in the eyes of others. Then, decide if you need to change or just tell certain folk to go to hell.

But lately, you seem dumbfounded at the way people are reacting to you and you need to get to the bottom of it. If there is anyone you can talk to - maybe a professor where you go to school or someone in authority you can trust for some "uncle" type advice then seek it. Soon. Ask them why you are not being well-received.

And while I agree with Griff, I think there are circumstances when a college-high school relationship might be ok. A more mature college kid with great grades and good character who seems like a gentleman would be better, I think, than a reckless, high-school kid with no future.

But you aren't winning the first impression battle and that's pretty much gotta be all you. Just trying to help. I could say the employer is an idiot and the dad is a moron but I don't think that's gonna help you in the long run.
