Q: Hey, before I start, I just want to say that this might be long, so please try to read the entire thing :) Ok, so I'm 15 years old and I feel like my life is broken beyond repair. I'm really not exaggerating. At school everyone's started hating me. Even the teachers. I really don't know what I did, I try my best to be nice to all of them. My classmates go out of the way to make me feel hurt. It was time for Christmas and just before our term break, everyone in my class made plans to buy each other presents and purposely ignored me. Well, I acted like I didn't care because I knew they were trying to hurt me but on the last day of the term, they exchanged presents in class in front of me, the only one left out. Maybe its because I'm not as rich as them (yes, they look down on me for that too), but when I looked happy because I was trying to ignore it, some girls would come near me and show off their presents like they were talking to their friends. And they still act like we're friends but are also mean to me at the same time. I know this sounds confusing, but I'm confused too. And the teachers are always yelling at me when the entire class is doing the same thing as me. And now we have holidays and I was so happy about it, but things at home are horrible too. My parents yell at me all the time and when my sister bought me a dress, they told me I didn't deserve it and I was wasting her money. It was kind of like a late birthday present from her, and somehow my parents and I started fighting about my birthday and I was really angry because my parents didn't even remember it. No one wished me the entire day. When I told this to my parents, they said "Oh, so we have to wish our KIDS now?" WHAT THE FUCK? They seriously consider it beneath their dignity to wish their child on her birthday. And they do this everyday, from the moment I wake up to the time I go to sleep, they find something to yell about and then my mom starts crying like its all my fault. But I cry every minute because of them. And the people at my school. NO ONE CARES. I thought I would finally get some friends, and maybe a boyfriend. WOW. Now I feel like I don't even DESERVE one friend. I probably don't deserve a life. I feel like killing myself, my life is pretty much like hell. Is there something I can do to change this? Or should I just give up, 'cause my grades have been falling, I'm really not pretty and everyone laughs when I tell them I want to be a famous singer when I grow up. Help please?

Firstly, hi, I am from India too. Rajasthani, and I study at law school. And when I was reading this, I felt like getting up and giving you a hug. Of course you deserve an awesome life.

Now, for ALL your troubles, I would recommend a book. A friend of mine, was in a similar situation. Nobody liked him, at college. NO ONE. He is a brilliant student, but not social.

I gave him a book - the name is ''The Secret'' (it is really popular and you might have heard of it.) It is not really long, and very simple language.

He read that book. His life transformed. He has become so positive in life. And his friends tell him that!!! I read this book. I got inspired and positive in my approach. My life took a U turn.

The book teaches you the essence of life management. It is actually quite simple - What you think, happens. Like attracts like. If you think people hate you, the universe responds to the frequency of that thought, and people hate you more. It tells you about the power of your mind. You can achieve anything using it. money, friends, success, any damn thing, you want.

PLEASE PLEASE read the book. IT will make you feel sooooooo good.

Now, if you want the book, download a free torrent. 'The Secret by Rhonda Byrne'

If you can't find it, mail me at saumya.adroit@gmail.com and I will mail it to you.

Good luck :)
