I really feel like im going to kill myself because I am never happy anymore. And I'm just a 13 years old girl. I want to change to a online school because I figure I won't get teased as much, but they are already closed for the school year. I can't go to my school and I don't want to run away. Maybe I'm a coward but I really do need help. Can someone tell me where I could find an online school for ninth grade so I won't have to go to my high school Because I know that ending your life is not such a good idea?

Kids are cruel, I have been teased, my friends have been teased, my family, etc. Its rough, I completely understand, and as hard as it is to do, you have to try to look past what you think everyone else sees, and focus on the bright, talented girl you are. You are only 13 sweety! You have your entire life ahead of you, keep dreaming, past the stars and past the moon. Don't ever let anyone else bring you down, ever. You are unique for who you are, its hard to do, but try to be more confident, find friends that like you for you. Join clubs that you like, join a sport, volunteer at a local library, or go to a soup kitchen to volunteer. Right now it just seems like school is bad, and life too, but just try to fucus on the possitive. Look in the mirror, and tell yourself how beautiful you are. Exercise and stay active and you will feel so much better, please trust me. Invite that friend over, if your parents let you, get that pet that you have always wanted!
If you ever need to talk, Im here for you :-)
Good luck!!!!

It really isn't that bad, I won't lie to you there is a lot of peer pressure in High School but the answer is not killing yourself. High School can also be a lot of fun and you get freedom at least a lot more freedom than middle school. I would try to focus on the possitive things you will make more and new friends. If you were to go to school online you will be keeping yourself from socializing and trust me you don't want to end up being locked in your house all the time it's not healthy. It is hard for everyone that is entering high school you are not the only one. It takes some time to get used too it as it is a new adjustment but in about a months time maybe two months you will begin to get used to it. Trust me, It is not as bad as it seems.

SistasVice answered Wednesday August 19 2009, 4:18 pm: What i do when i get upset & think there’s no way out, i just think to myself "it could always be worse" & then i think of situations that could make it worse & that i am lucky that i am not in that situation. With that said let me tell you how i dealt with teasing & harassment. The first thing i did was always always put on a smile & did not show any emotion even if i wanted to cry & scream. This is what bullies want you to do, they want a reaction! if you don’t give them one they loose! Walk around like you own the world, do not think for a minute that these kids are better then you, these people are getting pleasure out of hurting someone else so obviously there is something very wrong with them! You should apologize to them for being born with such an unfortunate setback! One of the things that is very important is to know how important you are & that you are so much better then these kids. Take it from someone who has been to hell and back…everything happens for a reason, you learn from everything, this will only make you stronger & better equipped for the future. I know you probably hear this a lot but hang in there sweetie, it will get better. [ SistasVice's advice column | Ask SistasVice A Question ]
itdependsonyoux3 answered Wednesday August 19 2009, 3:36 pm: Aw hun, I know how you feel. Highschool can be tough, take it from someone who knows all too well what it's like to be harassed and teased and shunned and all of thaat. At some point in everyones life, they have the urge to run away, like the thoughts running through your head, "what if i ran away ? would life be better ? would anyone care ?" Running away is not the soloution, and killing yourself isn't an option. You were given this life because you can HANDLE it, you were given problems so you can WORK through it and learn from it. I know you think it'll never get better and that this will be the worst experience ever, but you should at least give it a try. Not everyone will tease you and you WILL meet new people, some who are more mature and will treat you how you deserve to be treated. Don't let them win, show them that they can't bring you down. You're not a coward at all sweetheart ! You are a strong individual and you can get through this. But if you REALLY don't want to go to highschool .. did you ever think about homeschooling ? Because, I searched online for you, and there really aren't any online schools that havent started already or are still accepting people. I think you should talk to your parents about this, and maybe even think about going to see a therapist or counceler of some sort, they can really help you through this and you might realize that nothing is ever as bad as it seems. Highschool is a great experience, yes it has its ups and downs, but it's not all bad, trust me. It gets better. But really, consider homeschooling, research it, and then talk to your parents as soon as possible.
But don't end your life over something like this. It;s not worth it, you have so much to live for and your so young. You have your whole life ahead of you, think of the experiences and things you'll miss out on. and ending your life will ot only hurt you but it will hurt the ones around you, your family and friends who care so much about you.
If you need anything else, feel free to inbox me ! hope i helped and good luck. xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
jordanalexandria answered Wednesday August 19 2009, 2:35 pm: Hi, im fourteen. i went through the same thing last year when i was going into 9th grade with all the teasing and stuff. I do have to say though killing yourself is not the answer at all. I felt like killing myself too, but then i realized i would be missing out on so much if i did that. I dont know of any online high schools but ill keep looking. Dont run away, dont cut yourself, and definitley dont commit suicide. Sometimes teasing is just a way for other people to feel good about themselves. Ive always had this horrible mark on the side of my face and i have a lazy eye. People have always made fun of me for that. I stuck through all the mean names, the nasty comments, the fights, all of it. I know you didnt ask for your life to be tormented by people picking on you but that doesnt mean you have to take your life becuase of these people. Things will get better, trust me. You just have to wait. Talk to people about the way you feel(i saw a counsler and it did wonders). Just please dont hurt yourself, high school is a lot of fun and you will be missing out on tuns if you do anything dumb. Please take this advice, i hope it helps.
