I can't take school.


Question Posted Friday June 22 2007, 10:38 pm

I go to the worst school in the area. The girls are bitchy sluts (I'm not saying that out of spite, what these girls have done...) and the guys are just stupid manwhores.

The school is run down, and because I'm the most real person in that place I get picked on.

I dunno...It doesn't really hurt me what they say, but no one seems to care. It sucks how I'm the only kid in my year level getting CONSTANTLY picked on.

I have no friends either, someone spread a rumour about me bitching about them behind their back and without proof or hearing my side of the story ditched me.

Anyways, I seriously can't take this. I can only move schools in 6 months and I can't even take one day. I don't mean to sound like an attention seeker here but I once overdosed on pain killers 'cause of school and I'm scared I might do it again.

Obviously there's nothing I can do to stop it, believe me I've tried.

But my question is: How should I manage 6 months of school? If I can find a way to manage it, even slightly it will help.

wow, that's a pretty terrible position to be in. i was in a similar position a few years ago, during middle school. i didn't have any friends and i hated going to school because i was really quiet and people picked on me because they thought i thought i was better than them.
which wasn't the case.
i'd try homeschooling, explain your situation. talk to your principle. counselors. the school board if it gets that bad.
no one should EVER hate going to school & cause themselves harm because of it.

I was in a similar situation last year, about getting picked on, and it was CONSTANTLY happening just like you stated here! so i probably can understand to some extent what you're going through.

I switched to homeschooling this year though and it was better. At least I didn't really have to deal with assholes and bitches anymore.

I would really reccomend that you try homeschooling. You could explain to your parents this and maybe they'd let you do it?

Kids are rotten, mean, and plain rude. Let's face it -- nothing is going to change. Kids have been this way for a while, and someone getting teased will not change that.


The most you can do is:
[A]Let people think what they want about you.
[B]Make people hear your side.
[C]Stop the rumors.
[D]Ignore what they say.


Option A will most likely bring you happiness or misery. Letting people think what they want will continue to result you with no friends, but also happiness. If people are dumb enough to believe a rumor, do you really wanna be friends with someone so naive & gullible? I thought not.


Option B will allow people to hear the truth. It's a good thing, but it may not always work & people might not believe you.


Option C will basically end it. When you hear about the rumor, stop it before it spreads. Tell people they're going to hear a rumor about you that isn't true & not to fall for it. That way you can more than likely stop it from getting out of hand & ruining your reputation even more.


And finally, option D will probably bring you misery. Ignoring people sometimes just does not work, but it could. When people see that you've stopped responding & they see that you've stopped worrying/caring then they get bored with the rumors & start to pick on someone. Sure it helps you out, but it also gets started onto someone else.


By all means though -- fuck what people think. Don't worry about what people have to say about you. Opinions/rumors are always going to be around whether they're right or wrong. You cannot change someone's mind about something unless you're persuasive. Ignore them though. Just do your work & focus on what's important. Just face it, pretty soon school will be done & you'll be somewhere else.

I'm really sorry to hear about this. :[ no one should have to hate going to school.. but i know teenagers.. especially girls, can be vicious. If you only have to tough out 6 more months.. maybe try talking to a counselor. It's someone to talk to, and if anything gets really out of hand.. they'll help you. You can't let it get to you, though. Be your own person.. don't let what other people say get you down. I know it hurts to get picked on, but it's really only going to make you stronger.
I truly am sorry.. but I know you can do it

that's terrible. i give you a hell of a lot of credit for staying true to who you are. anyway, you really can't listen to what people are saying to you. you know you're better than that, and to be honest, they probably pick on you because they know it too. keep a journal just to get things out of your head and then after the 6 months is over you can burn it or rip it up and discard that part of your life. you've put up with it this long, you've got to be strong enough for 6 more months.
best wishes, and good luck (:
