I'm 15/f.
I have no friends.
I had a tight group of friends last year, but for some reason they started to distance themselves from me & all became really close just the three of them, & I don't have anyone else that I hang out with.
I talk to a lot of people at school, but no one would just randomly ask me to hang out--most of them assume I'm still friends with the same people I was last year.
I've never had a boyfriend, or a guy show any interest in me.
I hate my body & the way I look.
Ever since school started, I have been crying myself to sleep every night. Especially because it's hard to see my old friends acting like nothing's wrong, saying hello to me but nothing else.
My mom and dad keep telling me to try to make friends, or tell my old friends that I'd like to hang out with them again, but it's too hard. Not to mention embarassing.
I messaged two of those friends on myspace saying basically, anytime you're free if you want to call me, I'm always available.
One said oh yeah, we will.
& the other didn't respond.
So now I think they probably talk about it & laugh at me.
& I know those aren't the friends you want to have but, they really were good friends & we had a good time.
I don't know how to get through three years of high school with no friends.
I've started cutting myself.
I think about killing myself a lot, but I can't do it because it would crush my parents.
That's the only thing keeping me going, is that my mom would blame herself or something & I couldn't do that to her.
I don't know what to do.
But I can't take this anymore. (link)

Your friends are your world.
And they've rejected you.
There is nothing anyone can say
that will dampen the pain you feel.
They have treated you like crap.
What do parents know, right?
They aren't sophomores.
Listen.
I'm not a sophomore either.
I'm thirty-three years old.
But I know this...
You're new friends will be
you're new world.
It hurts that the friends
you cared for last year
have ignored you this year
But you must
find
the
strength
To ask some of the people
you talk to
to hang out with you.
Why should you wait for
other people to ask you
to hang out?
You are cool,
and when you know that,
other people want to hang with you.
Go for it!!!!!
Dr. Chad
