Ok, let’s handle this one issue at a time.

1.) “The girls are ***’s” Just ignore them

2.) “I feel left out” Try getting involved in something that interests you

3.)”I eat lunch alone” Decide to NOT eat lunch alone. Find those you share interests with and eat with them.

4.)”Everyone laughs at me” I doubt that EVERYONE laughs at you,and the reason for the laughter from those that do is because THEY are insecure, and by joining “the crowd” in focusing negative attention on YOU, they avoid it themselves. You have several ways of dealing with it. If it is a specific action-set of yours that is being laughed-at, look at that action-set and see if you need to change it or avoid it in their presence, but do not make changes that are harmful to yourself just because of someone elses laughter. You can also Ignore the idiots, they do not matter in your life in the long run, only your own honest self-apraisal does, and that of your parents and teachers.

5.)”I feel like dieing” This one is disturbing. Do NOT make that choice, nothing that is happening is worth killing yourself over, it would be the ultimate version of letting them win by making YOU loose YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, and you are BETTER THAN THAT!! Talk to someone about that last one, pleaase, someone with the capability to help you deal with those feelings. what is your schools policy on bullying? If you are being bullied, let the school and your parents help you.

I doubt that changing schools would be a cure for the social situation, and may not be possible without financial involvement. I had a rough HS experience too, not all that different from what you are describing, truth be told, but as things progressed, things eased-up and improved, and now none of the aggrivations and slightings matter. Forgive them, they are children, and some will always BE children, whereas you will mature into a worthwhile adult.

You should seriously make a list of the reasons you ‘dislike’ your school. Then make a list on the side of what you could have done to make things better for yourself. I am sure if you are honest with yourself, you will find that you don’t dislike the school as much as you think. If you are not giving of yourself, you will start to believe that nobody likes you and you are all alone. You have to be the catalyst to jump start friendships, opportunities, etc. Talk to people more – get acquainted with teachers, get involved. School for the most part is a social event – so get social……Get busy doing something positive and stop complaining about things you don’t like.

I learned a long time ago – the grass may ‘not’ be greener on the otherside – then where will you go?????

Hang in there – you can handle it…

Get used to it. If you plan on going to a university, a roommate is going to be part of your life. As will being away from your parents. At some point you have to grow up and realize that you have to do what’s best for your future.

unfortunately I don’t think your parents have much of a choice due to zoning… unless you went to private school or you moved somewhere to a different school zone.
