Feel Unwanted
I have been really depressed lately. I probably cry every day. A lot of boys at school have been sexually teasing me. Everybody at school thinks I'm such a joke. I am really smart and kind and people take advantage of that.
 
I don't have any friends and just feel unwanted in society. I always hear girls joking or talking about hanging out together. It's unfair to myself. I don't know what to do. I'm upset at school. I have a hope though. My parents say they might send me to this fantastic private school nearby. God's always there too.  Please write back.

Wow, it is great to hear that you are hopeful and have strong faith!  You are so right...God is always here. You know that you are a smart kid and that you don't deserve to be treated this way. You also have every right to be upset and want to change schools. However, if you have not done so already, please go to your school counselor or principal and tell them what these boys are doing to you! 
 
The school can't help you or discipline these boys if they do not have knowledge about what is going on.  A good school will not take the allegation of sexual teasing lightly. They will not tolerate any kind of put downs or bullying and will take action immediately.

You are very wanted in society! You probably have many talents you have not even tapped into yet!  Get involved in at least one or two actives you enjoy or which gives you  a sense of purpose. This can be anything ranging from helping others to playing an instrument to athletics and more. 
 
At school, consider joining an after- school club or activity where you can meet other kids with the same interests. Try to reach out to another girl who seems lonely or without many friends. Take a risk by starting a conversation by giving a heartfelt compliment to another girl's hair style, shoes, or great answer in class. Compliments can go a long way in opening the door to a potential friendship.

Please keep reaching out and let us know if you did talk to someone at your school.  We are concerned about you and want to make sure you are OK. You can either e-mail again or call us on our toll-free Hotline.  Either way we are here 24/7. 

Thanks again for reaching out. Take care and hope to hear from you soon!
