I'm muslim and if that disturbs any of you I dont want your answers if your going to be cruel.
I was taking a prayer meaning class and I have to admit I dont practice a lot and the class is only once a week. My teacher wasnt there so we got a really mean and annoying teacher. He kept on picking on me because I hardly new any of the meaning (learning it is like learning a really hard language) and my friends weren't being a big help either. Finally I stood up to him and told him that he wasn't getting anything out of making me feel bad (He told me that it was wrong that I pray everyday but dont know what I'm saying [I'm not a sunni btw who prays 5 times a day]) so why was he tormenting me. Only one of my friends was being helpful to me by standing up for me. I felt like going to the bathroom and crying. I I'm really sensitive and I dont think that people understand that I can be outgoing and have a lot of friends and still feel insecure about myself. Do you have a story?

I have many stories but mainly i have something to suggest with you. I think the reason people do not understand about you being outgoing and having alot of friends sourrounding you and not seeing that sensitive side is because you need to start allowing that side of you to be shown. Do you let your friends see it? If so, do you let people outside your "circle" see it? You mentioned you felt like going to the bathroom and crying. Why go to the bathroom and cry? Why not do it right there in front of everyone to see? There is nothing wrong with showing your vulnerable side every now and again. It is okay to show that you are a human too and that you have feelings like anyone else. Do not worry about it being a sign of weakness. Do not let anyone tell you what is wrong in how you pray. That is between you and God you always have that to come back with okay? Even if you do not know what you are saying when you pray, God does.

Hi,
You didn't need to tell anyone what your culture is, as this is a problem that could happen to anyone, from anywhere. I have gotten upset (too) often, but also feel that I have been unjustly picked on. I also understand how you feel about your friends not helping you--I've been there.
My stories are not from my place of worship, but from the public schools I attended as a child and adolescent. I was always being told that I was not working up to my potential--by the teachers, and the parents then believed the teachers. I was embarassed frequently in front of classmates, and then picked on by them, too. One teacher I had in an advanced class (which I was failing) did not want to let me go to a "normal" class (which when I finally got a counselor to let me, I passed with an A). Later I passed a regents exam, and the teacher failed me in the course for being late to class (though I had advanced so I could graduate in January instead of June).
Elementary school was a nightmare. I was one of the very few who was not Jewish--and don't think that I wasn't reminded of that fact every single day. Meanwhile, back at home everyone but me was a Catholic--a fact of which I was also reminded of every day. I got to feel that I belonged no where--I did have friends, but not the unconditional kind. I was sad and nervous since the age of 5--in kindergarten. I take antidepressants and anxiety meds to this day.

I al most know where you are coming from. I have had seizures for 26 years. I am 33 now. When I am with strangers that are unaware of my condition and not uneducated about epilepsy, I am screwed. I have been in many situations where when I would have a seizure and the people would laugh at me during and after. I know that psychologically these people laughing nervously. But still, I find it mean. So, when I come out of the seizure, I and notice them laughing, instinct tells me that they are laughing at me. I get embarrased and start to cry. I apologize to them and tell them that I had a seizure. I explain to the the disorder. They feel bad for their behavior. But I dont think that I should have to apologize for my disorder.
This has happened on many occasions, but I have never gotten used to it. My reaction has always been the same.
I am still insecure about my disorder. And I think that I always will. But I have learned to accept it. So have my friends and family. Eventually yours will too.
Good Luck to you. ;)
