My Whole Life I Have Been Bullied
Throughout my whole life I have been bullied, and last year I almost committed suicide. This year I moved to a new town. I really miss my friends. I am upset a lot, and my parents are not helping. Ever since I moved I have quit almost all of my sports, and things like the play and other school activities. My parents are always saying that I have no friends and no life.
 
I gave up my own self when I moved. My sister who is always having play dates, and is really adjusting well. While I really miss my friends. I haven't had anyone over my house yet. I feel like a complete loser. I agree with my parents even though it hurts. The bullying at my new school doesn't help.
 
Girls and guys are constantly being mean to me. I already had to talk to the school counselor about this one girl. I do not like the faculty at all at this place. I want nothing to do with them. Last year I was bullied a lot too, but it helped because I had really really good friends, and best friends at my old school.
 
In the beginning of the year we hung out like going to the mall and things but it stopped. I feel like I am alone and I don't know what to do anymore. I just can't take all this. It's to much and I really need help.

It is true, you have a lot going on--changes, not feeling supported, etc. This can be different. You can meet others and get involved in the activities that you like.  Think about other ways you could make this happen--can you get involved with your religion (for example, a church), babysitting, school activities--sports, clubs, plays, etc.

You could even convince one of the teachers to help you to write a play--and then go from there....The more you meet others--like you already know--then your situation will change and you can hang out and develop some good friendships.  However, it does take time, so be patient--it will happen.

We are concerned that you had some suicidal thoughts last year.  We do NOT want you to feel that way again--if you do, then its important that you reach out for help.  Talk to your parents, or call us.  Our hotline is available 24/7 and our counselors talk about a wide variety of topics.  The idea here is, reach out for help--you are not alone anymore--we are here!

Try to not let those comments from those mean girls and guys get you down--you know they only say those mean things to others as a way to feel good themselves, because they have low self esteem.  Try and think of it this way:  if they continue in their pattern of behavior, soon they will not have many friends themselves.  

It may help to focus on each day--how you can rise above their comments. That is what you have control over.  You and your own behavior. Keep talking about your feelings--it will help you.  Remember to get involved with some activities--whether it is at school or not--get involved, it can help!

Take care, stay positive, and keep in touch with us,

Kara, Counselor
