Hey 16 is tough...but you've got us girl. Chin up! School starts soon...then you can join some groups and make some new friends. Try visiting the library if you can, there's always people there. Volunteer at church or join the youth group there. It's never hopeless, just seems like it sometimes.
Hang in there!!

I've been there. I'm poor but I always felt like my parents would rather talk to each other than to me. My sisters (close in age) would talk to each other rather than to me. Even in my adult life (I'm 20 years older than you) I can sometimes feel like I'm being rolled over in conversation--like no one hears what I say or they just flat out choose to ignore me. So here's what I do...

I don't talk in groups. I'll find one person that I get along with and talk to them. If there is a group conversation going on, I'll make faces or interject with a quick comment, but never anything hard hitting or in depth. If someone asks me aside from the group conversation a question, then I'll go more into detail.

I'm just like you though. Everybody thought my parents were fun and cool--and I grew up poor! So money really doesn't have that much to do with it.

You're not going to feel like you have purpose on this earth for quite awhile, I'm sorry to say, because of your age. And that's totally normal! Think about it--you're in school being told what to do either by teachers, school administrators, or parents. How could you possibly have a sense of purpose with all that going on?

If I were you, I'd try to approach my parents for some one-on-one time if possible. Sit and talk to them--even if it's only for 10 minutes a week--about what they wanted to be when they were little. People like to talk about themselves! Ask what their childhood was like and what they were like when they were 16. Ask on a Saturday afternoon, not during a weekday when they're likely to be busy.

Most importantly, hang in there and know that you'll find your life's purpose and place on this earth as you get more independence in your life. Even then you might question who you are, but that's okay!

I'm sorry that you're so unhappy. I really recommend that you figure out what you want to do with yourself. Try reading, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens." It might help you develop some purpose. Also, I really think you should get into doing some volunteer work. You need to see how other people's lives are, especially little kids who are poor or elderly people. You need to get out of your own head and out of your little world. If you try this and still feel lonely, tell your rich parents you want a therapist. They'll pay for it and you can get some perspective.

So what are you trying to say??? Hey all I can say is stop looking at the now and start making plans for the future!! Your 16 in a few years your going to be out on your own making new friends not living with your parents you know? Just hang in there man nothings too horrible that you can't bare to live any more. Jesus is with you man.

I know exactly what your talking about. I went through the same thing when I was your age and at some times I still feel like that. I hate to see or hear of someone in so much pain, it truly hurts me inside. I wish I could help you more. You need to find someone to talk to alone, what I mean is just you and that person so there arent any body else distracting them. I wish all the best to you and one day you will find happiness. Just hold on and it will pass. If you just need to talk any time go to my profile and contact me and I will talk to you. Take care

i feel so bad for you....i wish i was there to give you a hug... ...please don't think that you have no purpose on earth...we all have our own purposes...if your parents wont talk to you, why don't you try writing them a letter....that's what i do...sometimes it is easier to express yourself in letters than talking with somebody in person...if that doesn't still work, try talking to a counselor at your school...i'm sure he/or she will listen to you...parents are usually over-protective because they love you too much and they are afraid that something might happen to you....

hope everything will be okay for you.
