I really hate my life ever since i moved to a new neighbourhood last year. All my friends had forgotten about me already and no one likes me in my new school. I have social anxiety and i feel really self concious now.I was really outgoing before, but now i only have ONE friend and everyone else makes fun of me because i'm more quiet and really shy now. I'm like the only social outcast. They tell me to go away and i feel so lonely everyday. I'm going to start high school next year and i feel like everything's going to get worse.
My parents are always busy everyday. They always ignore me so i feel like ending my life. Life is so meaningless and boring now. What's the point of living when i know that no one cares about me? It wouldn't make a difference if i died or not. So wouldn't i be better off dead? If not, how can i get a high self esteem?

I have social anxiety as well. What helped me more than anything to get a higher self esteem was to start playing sports. This helps you get a sense of comraderie especially if your on a team for you itd be a great way to meet people and connect with them. Not only that but working out and being physically active releases endorphins so you get a sort of natural "high". Good luck!

You do not need to end your life! I'm sure there are tons of people who care about you. Just because your parents might be busy, doesn't mean they don't love you. I can relate to what you are going through becuase I'm having the same exact problem, but when you read it from another person who is going through the same thing as you, it sounds so silly. Hopefully you will make some great friends next year, but if not, don't worry about it because it's only highschool, and the kids there can be kinda fake. Don't be afraid to be yourself. If people don't already like you because you're quiet, then what do you have to lose if you come out of your shell? At least you'll know you tried your best. Good luck & God bless =]

I can only advise you to talk to your parents about what you are feeling. You need to stand your ground and say hey, why the heck did you have me if you aren't gonna pay attention to me. Start from there, and you will probably get some pointers from your parents. Aim low and you'll be fine.
Also, you are in the world for a reason. Better off dead? No. that shouldn't be anywhere near "an option".

Ok first off i hope that you don't let people get to you just because you don't "fit in" It is soooo much better to stand out. I felt the way you did during my 7th grade year and at my 8th grade retreat, and i talked before my 8th grade class talking about how stupid it is that they used labels and crap like that. And give into cliques. I realized at my last retreat{my 9th grade} how stupid it was that i actually gave into it. I just hope that you find the hope to not try and commit suicide or whatever. Trust me i have been there, and it does not work. My friends said that it works, but do NOT give into it. Cause one day we all know that life is going to become easier.

Volunteer at a local hospital and nursing home and you'll quickly see that life is not all about you. Self esteem comes from accomplishment. Accomplish something by serving others and you'll find yourself not focusing on yourself so much, and before long, you'll find yourself feeling good about the good you are doing.

just think to yourself, why should i care what these people think? keep thinking that in your head and you'll slowly act less shy around people. also...have your friend introduce you to their friends so you'll meet more people. i'm shy like you but that's how i've gotten out of it.
