I have always been feeling down at school. I get bullied a lot, but my teachers don't really help the situation. Especially at my lunch where these kids keep making fun of me, pointing me out, and harrassing me. I try hard to skip lunch but not just because of them but because of the food they offer. I hate their food. And I can't pack because I just plainly hate lunchtime anyway. So every day when I do go to lunch with my friends, I am totally quiet, feeling depressed, anti-social, and never wanting to be involved in conversation. However, when I go back to class (hanging out with other friends) I am happy, free-spirited, and extroverted. My friends think I am like that all the time, since that's the only time they see me. They never want to find time to see me when we are not in school, because they say they are always "busy and stressed out" to come see me.
My grades have been fluctuating, and I get just totally stressed out thinking about school, and trying to pass. I've been battling anxiety, stress, and depression, so it's been hard for me for quite some time.
I don't want everyone to think I am this emo person, trying to feel suicidal 24/7 when I don't. I can be a very optimistic person, but it's hard to show it when my friends at lunch ignore me a little but, forgetting I am there, and assuming I am jsut tired. I don't know what to do! I want my friends to know I can be happy, yet I want to be happy. I don't know.. can someone help me out here?

kiran answered Tuesday December 26 2006, 12:24 am: If they treat you like that are they really your friends? But anyways you should talk to them privately sometime and ask them why are they ignoring you. Probably the reason why all those kids pick on you is probably because you act shy and you are letting them do that to you. If you perk up a bit maybe they'll start thinking that they can push you around and do whatever they want to with you. You just need to stand up to them. Just be who you really are deep inside you. Also talk to your parents about the stress and depression thats what parents are for too. They'll probably help you out. [ kiran's advice column | Ask kiran A Question ]
