As a guy, I find that there is a very thin line between girls having too much make-up on and having just the right amount. The girls that pick on Piper generally sound like the kind that believe they are the talk of the town and think their looks will get them anything they will ever need. She also never directly insults the members of the cabin, mostly just the cabin itself because of the strong smell the cabin has and the looks of the members. The only person sh takes an instant dislike to is Drew, who acts very much like a stuck up pretty girl. Besides Drew, she does like the other members of the cabin as they helped her out. Also, considering her mother's blessing made her pretty, it isn't paranoia.

Lastly, there was a good reason she didn't tell Chiron. She knew that a giant was watching her and keeping her father hostage with the threat that if she did tell anyone, he would kill her father. If she told him, there was a very good chance her father would be killed.
