Friends
I have a really hard time talking with other people in class, and normally I'm excluded from most of the groups because the kids think I'm weird. I'm in 6th grade and I spend most of my time in the counselor's office rather than in class. I would really like some help.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
You're not weird.....weird has a derogatory connotation. you are simply unique. There is nothing wrong with that. Just look for people that you share common ground with. Stay true to yourself. Never try to be anything else but you. Its hard when you're young but one day you're gonna find people that accept you just as you are and appreciate your indifference. My boyfriend was considered strange, quiet, scary in high school & still to this day some people still think that. I think he is quite unique yet still he got me. Just know there are plenty of people out there for you, you just gotta find them. Theres also a girl out there for you who is gonna accept & appreciate your unique qualities(when you're older). In the real world your high school status does not matter whatsoever! stay strong, if you need anyone to talk to i'm happy to help.

LOLZ...Oh hey you!
I know someone JUST LIKE YOU.
Are you a talker anyways?
Or do you actually "want" to talk?.... or are you asking this question you see everybody else is talking?
Brilliant people are both social.... AND quiet.
So don't hang yourself because you're the "awkward" person.
Schools is not as cool as they use to be, so if you can, don't sweat it.
If you can't start with other loners and work you way out.
All lions growl before they roar.
Good Luck

First, do they say they think you're weird because of what you actually say to them? or
is it because you remain silent and say nothing at all due to social anxiety/shyness?
Is it only students/peers or do you have trouble talking to all people.
Spending time in the counselors office for what offense? What do you do to end up there instead of class?
You are not going to learn your studies if you are not in class to do them.
Is there any information you didn't think to share with us?
Can you give some examples of what you say and peoples responses?
I can't begin to attempt to help unless I know what actual factors make it hard for you to talk to other students in class.
What groups are you excluded from and is this only in class or in other areas of life as well?
I would think that a "counseling" office would be a place to get help--counseling on how to overcome your problem. So it sounds to me that rather than attempt to help you, school officials are sticking you in the office. Are your parents aware of what is going on? Perhaps funding for help with kids who need special teaching to gain social skills is lacking. If there is a problem that can be fixed by educating your parents and yourself so you can practice and work on it that would be the best thing. But hon, I don't know if thats the problem or if you simply act up to get attention, or behave as the class clown, to get attention, or if you are perfectly normal and the kids have the problem.
Lots of kids your age are extremely and unfairly critical of others. Are you to only one picked on or do others get the same treatment. Let me know a bit more of what is actually going on and i will try to help.
