Hey, My name is Megan, and i'm 15. I've always been treated pretty bad in school. I don't think i'm fat or ugly, but everyone calls me ugly. I don't know why they would say things to hurt me, and it makes me feel bad all the time, though I try to hide it. Today at lunch, someone gave me a joke love letter of someone I know asking me to homecomming. (The one who gave me the note hates me) When I opened it, a fry with ketchup on it fell on my white skirt, and ruined it. They all laughed it up, while a friend of mine yelled at them. I don't understand why people do the things they do to me, I try to ignore them, but you know, it hurts. I just wish people at my school would treat me like a human. I'm not mean to people, i'm nice. I don't talk about people I keep to myself...what is wrong with me?

nothing is wrong with you at all. its the way of school--people just need someone to pick on. prove to them that it shouldnt be you. if you know you're not a dork and that they really shouldnt be making fun of you, try talking to them for real and do things to let them know that yes, you are human and you can be accepted as one of the group. it would be one thing if you were always mean to them, but it sounds like they're just doing it to you for no reason. so try letting them see that you're a normal person and that you dont deserve to be treated the way that you're being treated. good luck

(Rating: 5) Thanks for the advice. I'll try talking to them, but these people have hated me since I was 5.
