You sound like a real normal teen in school; I don’t have a clue why kids are so critical and cruel, and it seems the more successful and positive you are, the bigger the target to bring you down.

The only thing you can change in any equation is you; if you don’t like how it feels to be out there by yourself and you think of the world as them against me, well then I would do some soul searching and see if your face is wearing what you are thinking or if you reflect a person open to making friends.

You should:

Take care of your body and spirit (right food, enough sleep, a good multiple vitamin, getting your school work done and not let it hang over your head to stress you) do things to better your world and that of others. Also, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

Think the best of people until they really prove you different.

Don’t go through life thinking the worst, and try to see the blessing in everything bad and good, because those are the things that make us stronger and the better person. Remember the lives and suffering of others out there that would give anything for the opportunities you have (not lessening your pain/sadness, just trying to show you the grass always seems greener and yet we should never forget the strife of others) be compassionate, not a sap, just kind and caring.

I don’t know your belief, but I see it as God never gives us anything more than we can’t handle and I know some would think that simplistic, but I have found it to be a complete truth.

I wish I could tell you and you would really get this, but please, enjoy every little morsel that is your youth; it seems like after school is over and there are no more “summer vacations” that you wake one morning and years of summers are gone and you went from Point A to Point Q without cherishing the in-between. You’ll never be this age again, you’ll never be a student in high school again and your opportunity to be so flexible will only be more complicated as you take on more obligations (not saying that is bad, but if you get that message now, you will be able to appreciate and cherish it a whole lot longer)

Two things really stand out from what you are saying: One is that you are clearly clinically depressed, since crying all day is not a normal reaction to being bored I know how horrible that is; I went through it in college. See if someone can get you some help – you need some antidepressants or therapy or both. The second is that you are clearly underchallenged. If you are getting As without trying and while you are this upset, you could be doing far more, which is why you are so bored. Someone – a teacher, your parents – needs to find some more challenging work for you to do.

What you are involved in is a viscious cycle. You are bored, unhappy and lonely, but why would anyone want to be friends with someone who is bored and unhappy? So you only attract other people who are negative, which makes things worse I’ve never heard of a school at which everyone was either a popular kid (I never had much use for them either) or a loser. Probably 80% of the students fall in between, but they are invisible to you right now. You need to meet some of them. I’ll bet there is someone around whom you would really respect if you knew more about them. Someone hasn’t had time to socialize because they have to help out their family after school. Someone has transferred from some other place and is too shy to go up to people they don’t know. Your life would go a lot better if instead of deciding that no one is worth knowing, you set yourself the task of finding out who the interesting people are.

From what you say, I get the feeling that it isn’t just school, but life in general which is unpleasant for you just now; it is just that you spend most of your life in school. You need to do something about the depression so that you can see the rest of it from another angle.

I know what you’re talking about cause I was in the “loser” group in school. But you know what? It’s the popular kids that don’t give you the time of day that are the real losers because they are missing out on the opportunity to have a great, true friend. That’s a true loser. Don’t pay any attention to them because i’ll tell you something. When you get out of school, people change. They stop following the crowd and begin to see people for who they are on the inside instead of what other people see them as. Peer pressure dies down. So hold you head high and remember that no matter what someone else thinks, you are somebody special and nobody can change that. And enjoy the time you have left in school….adult life is MUCH tougher!!

I know that school is tough. I was there too once upon a time. The good news is that it is a temporary situation you are going though. As miserable as it seems, I learned to cope with boring classes, teachers and students that I didn’t like. Most important, I made new friends, and that really helped out alot. To get new friends you have to be a friend. So stop thinking of yourself as a loser and start enjoying life. it may take a while, but if you try things will get better.

In order to be happy, you have to lead a balanced life. This is very difficult to do and most people are heavier in some areas than others. It sounds like you are academically sound, but socially inept. This is more common than you may think. You talk like you are British…I don’t know how they do things over there, but you may want to transfer to another school and get a fresh start. It’s important to realize that, while your case may be a bit extreme, everyone is insecure. Stop crying. Start working out and exercising on a daily basis. Also, realize that the popular kids have peaked early in life…it’s all down hill for them after graduation. They probably won’t go to college. In ten years, they will be feeling the way you do now, and you will be approaching your peak.

Hang in there

Go to sleep earlier so you will be less tired. Pay no mind to the popular kids and. And you could make at least make an effort to get close with what friends you have left. They might turn out to be really great people. Life’s not going to get any better for you if you continue to sit and do nothing about it but complain. And you said you hate how the popular kids go around judging people but aren’t you doing the same to your friends by calling them losers.

ignore the so called popular kids! they usually arent bright and suck at life themselves. you should join an after school club or go to the local YMCA. getting good grades is important! it will help u get into a good college in the future and have a good job. believe me school is definetly important. my guess is u have depression in that case i strongly advise you to seek help. talk to your parents, a teacher any adult u trust. teenagers face problems like these. i was a basket case in 10th grade. thankfully i got help and im much better now. im gonna be senior and im much happier. u would never think that i was ever depressed. I was bulimic and depressed. I would throw up just because. it made me feel better. I was also a cutter. so i was messed up.

I skipped school a lot too, I never wanted to go. so if u just tell someone how u feel they can get you help. but anyway GOOD LUCK I really hope you feel better : )

Is there anyone you can talk to that you trust? You really need to talk to someone who can help you.

As for you saying you are bored in class, are all your classes easy? If so , you could be ‘gifted’ meaning having a high IQ and being smart.

Lots of kids who are gifted are ‘bored’ in class because their school work is too easy.

How would you feel about trying to make new friends? Are there outside interests you can get involved in, like community servcies, 4H, youth groups in church, etc?

I’m very sorry you feel this way but i can tell you this, being cool seemed having cool friends and hanging out with popular kids in the school to you now but the one and ONLY way to look and feel cool about you is being successful with your school work. Believe me they may think you as a geek cus you don’t fit in with their style but when you enter the Stanford and become that some body they always wish to be, you will be the one every one look for not just to hang out but to be with the rest of their life:)

Dude its obvious your not happy in school, just be yourself and try to have fun. Personally i think schools great, but schools in america are so much different then the ones in england. The best thing to do to get mates to start of is to be a lil bit of a rebel in class, or be funny. Im not sayin change yourself, but its a good way to start off, then people will know what kind of person you are and begin to like you. Hope it gets better 😉
