Ever since I was a little kid, for some reason, no one respected me. From 3rd-8th grade people made fun of me non stop. My 3rd and 5th grade teachers hated me, and many of my 7th and 8th grade teachers hated me too. From 9th-11th grade, people made fun of me "just kidding around" whenever I am with my friends they don't treat me with respect. The only real friend I have right now is my sister, and tonight for some reason she didn't want to hang out with me tonight, but she did want to hang out with her other friend. That is the last straw. I really don't know what to do. I am so lonely, and I am such a nice person! I have never had a boyfriend and I just feel like my childhood is being flushed down the drain. Due to people constantly making fun of me, I have ABSOLUTELY no confidence to go out and meet new people. I just don't know what to do anymore, I can't go on like this. I need to be a normal 17 year old girl. Can someone help?

If they don't respect you then they arn't you friends maybe you should talk to them about respectiing you and just joking around if they keep doing it find better friends [ KibonoHikari's advice column | Ask KibonoHikari A Question ]

pinkfairy1773 answered Thursday July 21 2005, 7:28 pm: aww i am sorry to hear that and if this makes you feel better i will be your pen pal and try to help you get through it. although i am only 14 girl but i hope i can help you.
and yea i never had a boyfriend in my whole life. when all of my other friend is going out with their bfs i was stuck home doing nothing but surfin net.
anyways...i dont really know why they dont like you but are you mean? rude? unsanitary? a major geek? delinquent? rebel? foulmouthed? which i highly doubt but just in case(because some people do not realize they are annoying or some what)
and here is what you can do, since you sound like you are going off to colleage soon then there is a whole new chapter you can start. Join a club you like, and start a conversation first which in subject you like, so you would meet a true friend. and if you would email me about why you think they dont like you and what did you do those years? any significant events>? and more about your self and i will help you best i can
and i know what you mean for feeling left out. because i have decent amount of friends but on my bus i get picked on and made fun of constantly because i am Asian. well people who makes fun of me is African American and they keep calling me chinese er whatever when i am not even chinese and such... and i do not mean no disrespect to African American because one of my best friend is African American but in my bus, we go to neighborhood, all which are Black people, and my neighborhood, mostly white, and few Hispanic and one Asian (me of course) so few of us who lives in our neighborhood get picked on by them. well me and this other boy. so it really hurts me that they are racist...and oh sorry i wrote so much i get carried on when i talk...
salemwolf answered Thursday July 21 2005, 6:47 pm: ha i went through the same. the only time any one liked me was in kindergarden. except for a few girl friends i had in the past. need some one to talk to you can always e-mail me. salem_22_@hotmail.com
x_jessicamichelle_x answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 8:18 pm: I've been through something like that before. All throughout middle school people have made fun of me and disrespected me. I think everyone goes through stuff like that.
Not everyone will like you and not everyone will hate you. You just have to ignore the people who treat you like that. People like that are not even worth looking at.
I've never had a boyfriend and I felt like my childhood was flushed down the drain as well. I dont let any of that bother me anymore. If you like who you are and other people dont, then tough. They're the ones missing out on a great person.
boricuachik answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 7:10 pm: you are a normal girl some teenage girls go throught that and some dont you need to stand up for yourself you need to respect yourself so that they can respect you i am sure you are a nice girl but sometimes in this kind of situation you need to put your foot down not everybody thinks the same and you need to let them know you need tothink postive go out there and find someone you have feelings for "treasure life like its your last day""life is borrowed you can lose it any day" go out have fun and who cares what people think i have some friends that make fun of me playing around and i do the samething to them. live your life to the fullest
vanna04 answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 12:20 pm: i know how you feel when i was in like 2nd and 3rd grade i had like 2 friends and it sucked big time. and noone deserves to be treated like that. but eventually i got more friends and people relized that i was cool and started being nice. i suggest getting some new friends. find someone who seems nice and try to make conversation chances are that person will have friends who will eventually be your friends and itll work out. give it time

VixenDark answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 7:55 am: Maybe you need new friends?
Try praying about it. God can do much more than we can.
With that said, maybe talking to others online can help build your confidence? Find a good message board/forum and just talk. They people there only know you as you present yourself, so be who you truly feel you should be! These people will know you and love you for who you are. Then maybe your confidence will carry over.

l3al3yd0LL answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 4:08 am: aww...girl, no one deserves to be treated like that. I think that maybe you should talk to your "friends" about this and ask them why they don't treat you with respect. Just stay true to yourself and keep your head high...if you ever need a friend i'm here for you...just email me!! [ l3al3yd0LL's advice column | Ask l3al3yd0LL A Question ]
x_pink_x109 answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 2:02 am: Awww!
This is really sad. But the truth is you have JUST as much luck meeting new people as anyone else on this planet. You need to raise your self esteem. I don't care what people say about ME. I just walk on by. But most of the time, I find something wrong about THAT person and keep picking on him/her. Find stuff you can pick on that person about, and they will leave you alone.
Don't worry about what anyone says about your appearance. I don't look great and people tease me too! They tease me about my clothes and my style. I don't care. This is ME! I'm proud to be me and I wouldn't want to be anyone else!
You need to have the same confidence because you shouldn't change for anyone. Don't listen to what people say about you and don't let it get to you.
When people say stuff about you and they see that you're sad, they do it more. When they see that you're ignoring them, they get bored with trying to make your life miserable!
You don't need to be neglected like this... nobody should have to live like that, especially at school, where you go to learn and get an education!
What people say about you at school shouldn't affect the way you live at home. You shouldn't go on thinking that you're not good enough for the people who say you aren't good enough.
It's not fair to you and YOU don't have to live like that.
I used to get made fun of and I couldn't take it anymore so I fled. I switched schools, which I shouldn't have done because people know that making fun of me worked!
It's not easy being in school with all these people with different oppinions about you. Sometimes, one person hates you and they get other people to hate you and they get more people to hate you and they spread mean and nasty lies about you but that's just them. At least YOU know it's not true and you can honestly say that and if they don't believe you, who cares?
Everybody has different minds and oppinions and if one person doesn't like you, they get other people to not like you. Do NOT let ANY of their junk get to you. Once they see it hurting you, they are satisfied and they get what they want.
If they KNOW it's not bothering you one bit, they are going to be bored with trying to make your life a living Hell.
Trust me on this!
Nobody said school was easy but that's LIFE!
Well, you know where I am if you need me. If yu need to talk about something or someONE, email me at x_pink_x109@yahoo.com O.K?
I'm here for you to take ANY question you have for me. You don't even have to tell me who you are. Just ask me questions. I don't care! :-)
meggybou022 answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 1:25 am: awww i know what this feels like...i always thought no one else in the world experienced this but me but i guess i was wrong..i've started to get over it and make friends and what you have to do is learn to love yourself first...find out what good qualities you have...i'm sure at least one person likes you...find them and spend more and more time with them...you'll feel better knowing you at least have one friend...and then try to gain you confidence with them and meet new people and remember not everyone will like you...you just have to tell yourself oh well...its their lost...i hoped i helped and you ask me for anything else just leave something in my inbox..

xBECKAHx answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 12:06 am: Im sorry, that really sucks. Try finding people who are also scared of meeting people...and who are made fun of..that way, you both will have someone to talk to. Hope I helped!

ALWAYSx0xAM0R0US answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 10:56 pm: This isn't your fault. People should like you and accept you for who you are not for who you aren't. If your nice and your not mean to them, your day will come. It will and that is a promise. I don't want you to feel lonely. You can be more social..that's probably one of the reason people may tease or take advantage of you..make friends, if you open up and not be shy, be yourself..if they don't like you..that's their problem. You are somebody special...not everyone knows it yet. I hope I helped. [ ALWAYSx0xAM0R0US's advice column | Ask ALWAYSx0xAM0R0US A Question ]
