Nobody Likes You, Everyone Left You...
Okay, well first of all, I am going to just say, that I’m not going to give you any schtick. I’m going to tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and I can only ask that if you have any suggestions for me, let me know, because I am…. So desperate for help, it’s not funny, and I know that I should see a counseller, I make appointments, but it’s hard. I just can’t bring myself to throw all this stuff that’s happening.
I moved schools 6 months ago. It was one of the hardest times for me ever. I left because I received an academic scholarship, and because I was practically driven out by a particular student.
At my new school, I seemed to get along with the girls in my class, and I used to be in a friendship group. Now, at the end of Semester 1, I still get along with girls in my class, but every lunchtime I sit alone eating lunch.
I want to talk to people, believe me, you have no idea; I can’t. After 10 years of this girl at my old school doing what she did, I just…don’t have the self-esteem. I feel worthless every day. No matter what, I just feel sad. I make up that I’m sick so I don’t have to go to school, because I can’t bare being alone anymore.
It’s so hard for me to make friends. Before I went to the new school, I had it all planned out on how I was going to act, but… when I got there I just couldn’t. There was something there that just stopped me from going up and introducing myself.
Please….I need help. I feel depressed every day, and I can’t take it. I’ve talked to my parents, they just tell me to keep trying. It doesn’t work.

Well of course you can't with an attitude like that. Don't think that way, because as long as you continue to use statements like "I can't" nothing anyone says will be able to help you and you will continue to be alone. You can do it, I know you can. You've talked to new people on GSB haven't you? See, you can do it. You need to try and think positively. You said you get along with those girls, maybe sit with some of them? Its going to take alot of courage and you're going to be so nervous you can't stand it, but wouldn't have company be worth it? I think it would.
As for your issues with that other girl, she sounds simply pathetic and someone as nice as you didn't deserve that kind of treatment from anyone. Counseling is really a good choice right now, it doesn't have to be with someone professional if you don't want. Is there a relative you really trust you could talk to? You need to realize that you aren't worthless. I promise, you aren't.

I moved school last year, well, i moved states from QLD to WA ... and i knew absolutely no one. The only people i did know, were my brother, mum and dad. and it was really scary, moving to a big place i've never been to before. and When i started school it was even scarier. Because kids are so very judgemental these days, and because of the way i looked [make-up, clothes] i was given crap about it. and I started faking sick so i could stay home too. There were days where i just wanted to pack up and leave and go back to my old school. But darl, there's gonna be twats at every school you go too. It's just teenagers and their ego's. I told myself, i would start going to school alot more, and i did, and i started making friends, because i started to fit in and started being myself again. I hated the first 3-5 months here. But i've been in Perth for a year now, and i can't say i dont wanna go back to QLD and see family and friends, but i've made friends here i dont want to leave.
Try these;
- Be you.
- Be loud. Be proud.
- Introduce yourself.
- Make yourself known.
- Ask the girls in your class, that you like, if you can sit with them, and ask them to introduce you to people they know that you may not be friends with.
It'll work. give it time.
