Confused, What do I do?
My dad recently gave me a phone call. He said he wanted to be there for me and he wanted me to stay with him starting this summer. I told him I would think about it.
I didn't want to go with him because I knew he didn't love me. The years when my parents were still together he barely spent time with us. He would always say he had 'shifts' to do all the time. Well to let you know he is in a bar and getting drunk. One more thing I hate him and always have once I was old enough to understand what was happening.
But I also do have some thoughts about going because I feel like I don't belong in this place. I felt like this on my first year in Iowa. I have many friends but we don't hang round each other as much as we did. I have been getting these notes and email from unknown people saying things like " arrogant show off" and Ugly Freak. I figured they were mostly from those Drama Queens who always confront me about pointless like shirts and clothes and oh yeah how I beat this girl in their group in the basketball. But I found out that some of them came from on of my best friends. It was a very painful experience. So maybe if I left everyone would be better off. I mean who would want to be friends with a( according to a note) Arrogant, ugly, nosy butt and trying to act all smart teacher's pet.
I know this was mainly under the category of Families but I had to throw that part in. Thank you.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
It's tuff being the new kid regardless of how many friend you make you are still the new kid. Your friends have all grown up together gone through school together and now you show up. There is not much you can do about being the new kid. As for the name calling and any bullying that is being done there is much you can do especially if it is happening in school or in regards to school.
You have as much right to be in school without being harassed as any of them. If anyone harasses you they need to be reported to a teacher or the principal. Most school systems have very strict policies on harassment on zero tolerance for it. Those that are doing so to you can be suspended or worse expelled.
If you do not want to go to the principal yourself then talk to your mother. She can go to the principal or lodge a complaint with the superintendent of schools. One of you needs to speak out against these students as they think their numbers protect them, it shouldn't and it won't.
As for visiting your father, that's up to you. The one thing you might find if you do is that the friends you left behind have moved on and getting reacquainted with them might be just as tough as being the new kid on the block.
