Answer 1

Tell them.

If it hurts, tell them, and tell them to leave you alone. You're showing that you're playing with them, and if you don't like it, tell them to stop.

I used to be depressed all the time once, because my life had taken a "dramatic turn." A lot of bad things had happened. But, I eventually started to get comfortable with new ways.

It's not easy to not trust people. Just try to... I feel like I have no friends sometimes, but I realize that you just have to wait for the right time to come... I finally had a true friend when I entered middle school.

See? You have to wait. Try to socialize with other people a little bit- but socialize with people with your interests, or simliar to your interests. And the last question: Do you think she's your friend? Are you guys slightly friendly?

That question alone, the best you can do is for time to come and unravel the truth.

I hope you can make friends soon- and the Lord will get you friends- he'll have a reason. Trust me.

Hope you'll have friends soon!

(And making friends is something that happens naturally, so like I said- remember, only time can heal everything!)

Answer 2

I totally know how you feel and it really sucks, but do you know what? Things can get better. I used to care so much about what other people thought of me and i would be so upset when a "friend" ended up betraying me, but I have learned from those situations. I look back now and think of how I wasted a whole year on caring about what others really thought of me. When I am myself, I am a lot more approachable and people walk by and say hi. Just smile a lot! By smiling, you can brighten somebody's day and who knows, maybe somebody will really like that smile. Walk with your head up all the time and always look on the bright side. Confidence shows a lot about a person. Be confident! I think what you are going through is something that everyone has gone through. The only thing I can tell you right now is to learn from these times. After being made fun of when I was little, I could never make fun of another person. I've learned a lot from my experiences and I'm sure that you can too and that you can help out others as well

Answer 3

You get friends by being PIOUS and PHONY. How good are you at that?

I went to many schools and only know one person from those days -- teachers and some parents think school "develops social skills," but my experience was that school developed an ability to appear not to be hurt by betrayal, which is the usual result of making friends.

Get the best grades you can. Don't let popularity become a god that you worship. Cross the school desert with good grades and do the same in college. Eventually, people who are as patient as you are will become your friends.

Answer 4

Do you have a parent you can talk to about this? I hope so. If not, do you have anyone at school (like a nice teacher or guidance counselor) that you could confide in? Growing up can get hard and sometimes we need someone older to step in and help with our problems. It sounds like you need someone you can talk to.

I would say "Yes" to your getting help for depression. That may be easier said than done though if you don't have someone that will help you.

So, go to your parents if possible, or a trusted adult and tell them exactally what you've written here and plead for help. You have so much life to live and you can be happy one day. But for now you need someone to help you to get to that place. Don't give up.

By admitting you need help is the first step to your getting better and living the life you are dreaming of. It's out there for you. Don't ever forget that. Ok?

Answer 5

Just be yourself. Try starting a conversation and it will go from there. I used to be kind of shy and in the same situation but now I realize that it's really not that hard to make friends the thing is choosing the right type of people to be friends with.Good Luck...

Answer 6

Hmm. Well, life always gets better. If you act happier, people will hang out with you more. Cause sometimes, people don't like to hang out with sad people. So try being happy, its not that hard. =)

Answer 7

Stand up for yourself when people pick on you. Develop your self confidence,maybe if you try doing this people will see you in a different light.

Answer 8
