In genreal, I'm a very thoughful person, being I think about stuff alot. When I go to church, I feel kinda depressed like I don't fit in with all the kids my age there like we talk and have fun and laugh but I don't feel like they want me there or they don't care about me. And when I go to school, it's sorta the same thing, but toned down a bit more. What's wrong with me?

I can completely identify with what you're feeling, even at 38 the stigma of feeling like an outsider through out my childhood and even into my teens and early twenties hasn't gone away. However today I've learned to embrace the fact that I'm different because I've been able to identify what makes me different. We see the world in a way few others can and by sharing our unique view point with the lesser enlightened minds of the world makes our contribution important and respected. Enjoy the blessing it is to be different, but share the experience with others.

It's impossible to say where you might be going wrong socially withoout spending time with you and seeing how you interact with others. It could be that you are self-conscious and introverted, and people generally don't respond well to that because you aren't really outspoken enough to give them something to respond to. That's my guess anyhow. But I don't think there is anything "wrong with you." Adolescence is a journey of development, and it's a really shaky time because you are going through changes and so are all the people around you. Developing socially is more challenging for some than others, and sometimes people don't make that transition successfully until much later in life (some don't seem to mak it at all). It's a struggle. My advice is develop your relationship with God, because He is the one who can steer you through all of the hazards of young life.

Your feelings sound pretty normal to me. One of the things people often do is to relate other people's actions to themselves.
When someone is in a bad mood or something, they wonder if that person is mad at them. Often it has nothing to do with you. Weirdness coming from others can be totally unrelated.
The good thing about you is that you have the courage to talk about it. I think you'll find that as you get older your introspective nature will be more appreciated.

Hey, it just means you're a little 'different'. The thing is that being different is a good thing - it means you're unique and not just 'one of the crowd'.
Nobody who's ever done great things in this life was ever completely 100% 'normal'. Just bear that in mind - and remember that if you just believe in yourself and accept who you are, like-minded people will gravitate towards you and you'll find, sooner or later, that yo _do_ have friends - and real ones, too.
Just give it time.

Has it occurred to you that maybe something is wrong with the people around you. Nothing is wrong with you.
You probably chose to be different and that is what is going to make you unique form all the other people around you.
That means that no matter what you do, good or bad you will have a lasting impression on people.

Thats hard to answer since I dont know you that well, most probably you just have problems of socialising thats all, when you're young there are always worries about whether you are going to fit in or not, there could be differences in characters, interests and stuff.

Satan seeks whom he may devour.
He will try and put you down so you will give up on God (Why would God love you? He can not use you! You are not good enough to get near to God!).
I am going through something like that.
Get close to Jesus as you can.

you are going through a difficult time in adjustment in various phases of your life. this is typical as everyone does. suggest you talk with your parents, religious leader, school counselor, a teacher for their advise. you are developing coping skills which will follow you throughout your life so please remember you are never alone as not only GOD is with you but you also have family and friends.

Doesn't sound like there is much wrong with you at all, except that you may think about yourself a wee bit much.
Just because you FEEL like they don't care about you doesn't mean it's true.
You have to let people accept you, and love you.

Being a teenager is tough. Talk about the situation with your parents and pastor. They posess a lot of wisdom having "been there."
God bless!
