Question Posted Monday November 13 2006, 8:34 pm

I have been moved from school to school in the last five years. It has put alot of emotional stress on me, trying to cope with new surroundings, friends, etc. We finally found a school that is okay and have settled there. My "friends" only accepted me after using me a bit (tell her i said this etc.) and only like how I am kinda funny. They told me for a while now I'm obnoxious and they don't care when I'm sad or mad. They just kinda push me off to the side. Let's say I'm not the prettiest girl at school. I'm super thin and most people think I'm anerix (sp?) but I'm not, I eat whatever I want. These friends never actually include me and usually when I want to talk to them they tell me to go away, or I want a restraining order and It kinda annoys me. No one takes me seriously and If I say something I thinks cool thay shrug it off.

They have made me feel really bad. So bad I was thinking of suicide (which I stopped because I made myself realize what I have to live for) Everyday it just get's worse and worse. I can't really meet anyone else because theirs no "outcasts" and everyone else is in a clique and I am shy. Then after all this stress a girl who picked on me all last year, made fun of my voice (I later found out I had a beautiful voice, or so everyone says, I used to not want to sing for the fear of being made fun of) She is really annoying. I have told my friends about this but they love her so they tell me to deal with it.Everyone else talks about how they did this or that and mostly on weekends I do nothing because my friends don't want to do anything. I constantly told I need to be normal not outgoing, and I just don't know who I am now. I want to just tell myself I'm a cheater a liar and a no good person. I am the youngest in my class because I have a late birthday and most people make fun of me that I'm so young.

What should I do about this? How can I handle this? I just am getting to the point where I don't see any reason to live. I don't want to talk to an adult because whenever I do they just yell at me back and tell me to stop acting so dramatic, but I just have such a short temper. HELP!!!!

These people that you're calling your friends, aren't your friends at all. Friends are supposed to be there for you no matter the circumstances. They're always there to support you, whether good or bad. They're the ones that help your through the bad times and enjoy the good times with you. No real friend is going to put you down like that and not care how you're feeling. They're going to be there to listen to what you have to say and help you out with your problems. These "friends" are the total opposite. They don't help you out, they're always putting you down and they never include you in weekend activities. These people don't even deserve to have you in their lives. I'm sure you're way better than that.


As for you not being the prettiest or skinniest girl, no one should ever think about himself or herself that way. If you think that way about yourself, others are going to think the same. Try to boost your confidence. I'm sure you're a beautiful girl, inside and out. I'm sure you have an amazing personality and you're really fun to hangout with. Some people may not realize that, but that is truly their lost. I'm sure you have a lot to offer in a friendship and no one should be taking you for granted. If people don't realize what you have to offer, that is seriously their problem. They're just missing out on a great person. Just be happy with yourself. You're the only one that matters the most.


Now, you ending your life because of them and this, one word: DON'T. You shouldn't end your life because some girls are being bitches to you. You have so much more to live for, finding real friends, having a boyfriend, being in love, getting married, having kids, watching your kids grow up, becoming a grandmother, etc. Do you really want to give all that wonderful and amazing stuff away because of some bitchy girls? No! Ignore them, seriously. Don't let them get to you. You don't need any of them in your life. All they do is get you more and more depressed, which isn't good since this might lead you to ending your life. I suggest just moving on and getting some new friends to hangout with. Obviously these friends aren't working out for you. You need friends that will be there for you and will want to do things with you on the weekend. Maybe you should try joining some clubs or groups at your school? That might get you into a better circle of friends. You could also try going to some fun after school programs. Maybe join a spots team, if you enjoy doing sports. Anything that will help you make better friends.


Since you're not able to talk to any adults, are you able to talk to any close family members that wouldn't yell at you? Anyone you're comfortable with and can trust? If so, talk to him or her. I'm sure they will help you out and will be 100% supportive. If not, I'm sure you have a school councilor at your school. Try getting an appointment and talking with him or her. Councilors are there to help, so they'll try to understand your problem(s) and will help you the best they can. If you're too shy to do this or you just don't feel comfortable, I'm always here to talk and help you out. So if you need anymore help or you just want someone to listen, drop one in my inbox and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
