Why does everybody hate me?
I have two friends at my entire school and everybody else doesn’t like me. I never find out about parties or movies, or even info on the team sports. The try outs I have been to to try and make varsity everybody knew about except me by a phone call from the senoirs and down, and nobody bothered to call me until 5 minutes before they started to ask, “where are the God dmn waterbottles?” That is all I am good for, to be used. My parents even decided it was all my fault. They yelled at me for not being popular enough and not having enough friends. They yelled at me for not having the information and not trying (I called who I could, I emailed, and checked the website). My dad yelled at me for acting depressed (I think I really am but I keep it to myself). They even yelled at me for dating the same girl for too long! Tell me how that makes sense. I just don’t get it. Why doesn’t anybody like me, or even know that I exist anymore?

I don’t hate you!!! oh and BTW Jesus loves you!!!!!!!!!
hey maniac, being popular matters a lot while you’re in high school, but when you get out you’ll realize that all of that was b.s.
it’s hard to see how your family could yell at you for being depressed. you need them to understand.

I know, nobody understands me, they all try to bring me down. I didn’t know I could get any lower.
Hey there little hockey dude. Like sansceriph said, popularity seems to be important while youre in high school, but it really means nothing at all. And none of that was your fault in any way. I dont understand how your parents could yell at you for not knowing about the try-outs. And their rant about not being popular enough, that feeling down, and being with the same girl for so long, is all b.s. They are just fuming and taking it out on you, and they shouldnt.
Don’t let anybody or anything bother you. Just breath and realize this whole thing is just a ride.
But more than that, treat everybody around you with respect and be nice, and it will come back around.
No matter what, remember that the best person you know should be yourself.
Everybody is talking about popularity, the thing is I don’t want it. I would rather be left alone in a corner left for dead then in the spotlight where no matter what I do is wrong. I already get enough of that from my parents.
But you see, youre writing about how youre never invited to parties and such, and that all lies with popularity. But I see what youre actually interested in is true friends. Not wanting to be popular is wonderful. But if you think all popularity is, is being in the spot light and having everything go wrong, thats only half true. More people would take notice, but youd get more peoples opinions on the things youd be doing. And its nice to hear something encouraging, rather than critizism all the time. But youre not doing anything wrong and youre parents are just adding more stress and pressure than anyone needs. Even an adult. So even though theyre youre parents and youll never be able to get rid of them for the rest of your life, doesnt mean you have to agree with what they say, and follow everything they tell you. We both know youre old enough to think for yourself and you have more insight into your life than they do, so they wont understand everything.
Hi I noticed on your profile that you are a Christian so I will answer you from a biblical perspective. Galatians 6:2 says,” Carry eachothers burdens” so thanks for letting me minister to you today. Also in Exodus 2:25 God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them. I want to tell you today that God is also concerned about you and he knows what you are going through. Jesus himself was despised and rejected and he was a man of sorrows. Jesus was at times deeply troubled and we are to follow His example so it’s not a sin to be deeply troubled about what is going on in our lives. In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus “began to be deeply distressed and troubled” and he said “my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow” Also at the death of a good friend of Jesus, Lazarus, Jesus was deeply moved in spirit and troubled ( John 11:33 )
Life now in High School may not be easy with the people you know now. But think about your future. In college you will be making all new friends and contacts and surely you will find good friends. Have hope for your future that things will change. I can almost gurarantee that they will.

I know. And you dont need it. I suppose suggesting that you should talk to them about it wont work, judging from the way you talk about them. But if you could somehow find a way to take in what they say and not let it affect you so much, itll decrease some of your stress.
hey maniac, you were talking about try-outs for a team. and that no paid you any mind until they were wondering where the water bottles were. this sounds eerily like a football tryouts story. am i right?

Is it called the Water Boy?? Look what happened to him!
I have tried before, everything hits me deep. Even if I know somebody is kidding it still hurts me, I just hide it. Nobody except people on here knows how I feel. I told one friend. Last time she ever talked to me.

You almost had it, except this was for hockey.
ah.. not much hockey here on easter island, or in the southern u.s., wherever i am.
Well then she is in no way any sort of friend. Anyway, nobody hates you. Definately not people on here, and definately not me. Youre pretty d*** awesome!

Ya, I figured that out pretty fast. And I have had quite a few people tell me that they hate me straight to my face. But thanks for the compliment anyways

I’m sorry for that, really is one awesome sport.
If they say that straight to you. Just smile. They may think youre a little crazy, but itll only get you down if you let it. You have to show them, they mean nothing to you, and what they say doesnt matter either.
u know how u said every1 htes u i share ur pain. it’s the same here at my school. everyone hates me and yells abuse at me. and if they are not yelling abuse to me they ignore me which im sorta use to like u i only have 2 friends sadly they try to ignore me and act like they don’t know me. i hate to say this but i don’t think that anything could help us. i think we are on our own. i am sorry i had to say that but that is what i think is true.
little story..
for those of you who know my little stories are long, stuff it :)
when i was a kid i was smaller than most. played one year of baseball when i was 12, but i was in a league for 13-14 year olds. my brother was 14 so i was stuck on his team. did i mention i was small to begin with? on the rare occasions that i wasn’t sitting the bench, i struck out or walked. if i was in the field (right field) i prayed the ball wouldn’t be hit my way because i was near-sighted.
when i got to high school i went out for football, mainly to get out of working for my dad (which was the closest thing to slave labor this side of nike). i sat the bench again. worked as hard as anyone else in practice, but sat the bench with the other runts.
one day after practice, this real popular guy on the team starts horsing around with me, not punching just scuffling. so i put him on his back in about five seconds. and someone says, “hey sans, you should go out for wrestling.” and i did. and that was my thing. it took four years but i won a state championship.
it sounds like you love hockey. but it also sounds like you are tired of confrontation, and that maybe hockey doesn’t love you back. so find your thing, something that you love and you’re good at. it doesn’t even have to be a sport, just legal! you can’t fulfill your dad’s athletic dreams. only he can do that, and he had his chance.
U were not kiidding thats so long thats really really really really long jeez u know how to write. =) lol nah just kidding with ur storys u should make them into a book. i know that it would be the only book i would eva read.
hahahaha! i did write a book and no one read it.

Everyone can’t possibly hate you. Everyone hasn’t met you.
damm nine, i love your logic, lol.
great logic, but it is more of a metaphor. haha but way to put a positive spin on the whole post
You cannot say that everybody hates you… this is your impression, because you had sad experiences. People are cruel…

Whats your book called? Ill read it.
it was very weird because i was very fu**ed up. i can’t mention the name and still be anonymous. (it may surprise you to know that my real name is not the attribute of a font.) i am sending one to captain setto. if you follow my shout trail with him you’ll find my email address.
hockeymaniac, it’s not unusual for a freshman to not make a varsity team. is there a freshman or junior varsity hockey team at your school? if you really do love hockey, play anyway, whether or not you made the team, or made it to the tryouts.
I’m not going to stop playing hockey. I am going to be on JV anyways, but still, I just wish that somebody would have cared a little more than where are the water bottles you stupid freshman.
kemmy wrote:
Yea. It sucks.
I would tend to agree with that lol.
when a popular jock is a junior or senior in high school, he thinks his sh** doesn’t stink. then he goes to college and finds out he’s a stupid freshman again. or he goes to work and finds out he’s not the center of the universe.
don’t worry about pricks like that.
Sweetie, you are so young. I understand about what you are going through. When I was in school nobody even looked my direction. I was skinny and shaped funny with short hair. Kids used to think I was a guy! Hang in there just do what you enjoy doing and try not to let others dictacte how you see yourself. you are unique and we here at help.com do not hate you!! take care

Alright, I hate to be the ***** of the post…
Look, in all probability you’re a great guy who’s just facing high school bull ****, which happens. High School sucks and people are bitches.
But did you ever consider the possibility that people hate you for a reason? I mean, maybe you need to evaluate how you treat people. Maybe you just need to ask these people why they hate you.
Look, I’m not saying I think you’re an a-hole who deserves all of this, because you probably aren’t. I know how high school is. It blows, and it doesn’t really get any better. But know this: I GUARANTEE you, every person who was tortured in high school turns out a success. Why? The people who are put down are UNIQUE and above all the muck and BS of high school, and that threatens everyone else.
You’ll get through it buddy. Take those few friends you have and keep them close to you, for they’re the real deal.
well i know how you feel in my high school i was the out cast my dad told me that i was a disgrace to the family name cause i didn’t make to foot ball team. but what i can tell you is in time it will get better trust me i went off to college and 90% of the kids i want to school with never did anything. now next year is my ten year reunion and i am going to be a doctor in one years and there the ones who pump my gas so in the end you will get the last laugh and everyone who never know your name will
if you need any one to talk to im here. don’t worry about you mom and dad cause when you out there house they cant tell you anything lol
You should get more people to hate you - it’s much better than allowing them to ignore you. But if your not doing hateful things then your just hanging around people who hate people and YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET

I don’t do anything hateful, I don’t hang out with people who hate others, and I AM STILL THE TARGET.
I don’t hate you.
and it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks of you:D

It matters alot, I need friends, something drives me to have friends and be social, to be liked. On the other hand, being rejected for who I am puts me back, but I won’t change myself. It is one of the few things I refuse to do.
all of u who said u don’t hate me thank-you so much u guys are all awesome. thank-you for making me feel betta
1 day sansceriph i will read ur book. even if it sound like something weird i will read it.

This isn’t even your post? but yes, thank you all.
Hey you know, i’m in highschool too, but i don’t think you’re right that everybody hates you. Are you just looking at the popular kids? Cuz yeah, they might hate you. But they’re boring anyways usually. Maybe you should try talking to some of the quieter or stranger kids, you just might find more friends.
When I started highschool, i only had one friend and no-one else, but we kept making friends with everyone who was outcast-y or lonely. And now we have a lot of friends, and we’re pretty close. It’s not perfect, we fight and stuff, but trust me it’s doable. And at least then you know everyone doesn’t hate you :).
Don’t change yourself. All you have to do is find friends who will love you for who you are… and I bet you could if you aren’t looking at the cool kids.
Just my two cents :P
well that just brightened up my day. i will just have to give it a shot.and if i dont sucseed i will have to try something else. but i will neva change myself. =)
dude I know how u feel! Sometimes I just want to take my life and give it all up! I used to cut my wrists and smoke pot because of all of it! I’m in ninth grade and have to deal with school then I have people calling me fat and pushing me around and no one does anything to help! If u find a way to stop this plz tell me cuz I need help!
I would tell a counseler at school or someone about your parents yelling at you for not being popular. You know what, tell someone with more power! I’m sure you could even tell the police about this. If I am right, that is abuse. There is another thing you can do that you would probably enjoy. When your parents get mad at you about this again… EXPLODE!! Get Angry!!! and put up an argument! Tell them you are sick of their Bull****! And if you are furious enough, tell them to stop being picky about you! Tell them they are acting like children! because THEY ARE!! I am saying this because if everything you wrote is true, your parents deserve it! All of the above may not sound that bad, but heres the big bomb. If you are depressed and having suicidal thoughts, tell them you are, THEN, tell them that you think they would like it if you killed yourself! If they actually say they would, well, tell any soul you see. preferably a police officer. It just makes me furious to see parents acting this way.
IM HAVING THE KIND of same problems, my mum hates me COMPLETELY as for my dad he left us when i was born, i started thinking it was my fault that my mum is stressing out and single and im youngest in my family and still i feel neglected, i dont get chlothes dat often, nobody loves me, my mum never comes to my parent evening only to my other siblings i do most of the chores, ive tried winning her love but she doesnt act like she loves me!!!!!!!!!!!!! im 12 now and really want to die, ive cut my self in the thighs ive given myself a black eye and they still dont care only my sister asked who did it, my mum and my siblings even call me anoerxic and stupid and dumb and ugly pig and a waste of space, i feel like im a BIG MISTAKE! I ALWAYS tell my self its not me, its them whos doing wrong, NOBODY likes me at skool, i have one friend but she left im all on my own, teachers sey im lovely to teach, but i kno deep down they feel sorry for me.
I know how you feel dude, my life sucks right now too. Just remember that there is someone out there who loves and cares for you! Try going to a different school, or even at a last resort, run away and hide somewhere for a few days. THEN look at your parents reaction. They’ll probably be all sad because they’ve lost you. After you find this out for sure, go back. THEN you’re sure to be appreciated. My prays are with you dude!
u know it happns to me and it is happening my parents r the same everythin is like u
just be urself
kinda hard i know makes u cry absolutely makes u feel like deing for sure
keep smilin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
