Who’s the last person who cared?

I hate high school. Nobody knows me, nobody likes me. Nobody talks to me or gives me a chance to speak. Everybody only likes to talk to people who fit in a certain way, whether it’s because of the sports they play or the activities they do that make them socially accepted. I’m different and I know that, I try to be proud of not being one of the crowd or falling into the trap I see others fall into, but it can make me feel so isolated and so lonely sometimes. And this is one of those times.

And it can really get to me. I wish there was somebody out there - just one person- I could call a friend; somebody who stuck to their guns and would be there for me thick or thin; someone who knew me well and I knew well back. We wouldn’t have to be the same, we could be totally different from each other, I don’t even care. I just want someone close to me and in my life, and at this point, I haven’t found that.

Look around at school. There must be someone else out there who doesn’t fit the mold. Try to befriend that person.

I’m sure there are other people at your school who feel the same way you do. Try finding the other people who don’t feel like they fit in.

Dang I understand exactly what you mean. High school is rough. And it’s dang hard to fit in. I feel like there are certain people that don’t look at others that don’t fit into their little circle. And it hurts. I know where you’re coming from. I’m senior and I’m counting the days until graduation. All I want is to get away from all this. If you need someone to talk to. Talk to me.

In high school you are surrounded by people just like yourself–lonely, unsure of themselves, fearful of what the future holds. Their value systems are not yet defined, and they will change their views and attitudes about things multiple times over the years.

Don’t look for a “messiah” in high school. You won’t find one.

All I can tell you is to be a friend. You’ll get friends that way. Don’t worry about the jocks. Less than one-tenth of one percent will play professional sports; most of them will end up in menial, low-paying jobs. They may look like idols or heroes now, but no one will care about how many baskets they made or passes they caught after high school is over.

Romances? Less than one percent survive beyond high school. The odds of your “soul mate” being in your high school are astronomically against it.

When you get to college, things will look much different. The angst of being in high school will be gone.

Not that everything in high school is bad. Treasure the good memories. Discard the bad ones.

And don’t worry. You’re not the only one with self-doubts and worries. And, yes, this time does pass . . . just make the most of it to prepare yourself for college and life beyond.

Those around you who have not taken the time to get to know you don’t know what they’re missing. Sooner or later we all realize that there is someone who may just happen to be different or does not fit in. However, most of us are so blinded by the popularity contests that certain people or certain cliques in high school love to have without really caring about whose feelings they might hurt. Why? Because we are so stupid and silly. Most idiotic people who just don’t notice other people are so self-centered that they forget how to be human and how to behave civilly towards the people they call “nerds, geeks, misfits, weirdos, or other unkind names that they love to make up and throw around without thinking of other people’s feelings.
I am so sorry that you have been treated so unkindly by these people.
The jocks, beauty queens, and cute people are just that and nothing else.
Jocks get old, beauty queens’ beauty fades, and cute people sometimes don’t figure out how to be anything else but cute and later on they become annoying even to themselves.
This high school thing shall pass and you will move onto bigger and better things. You will see. Life has a lot of wonderful things in store for you and your future.
The clouds in the sky are full of blessings and they will rain upon you when you least expect it. When that day comes, it’s your turn to share the wealth and kindness. Don’t stoop to their level and please be better than they are being to you now. Be kind and generous and you will have that returned to you in spades.
Lots of love and lots of hugs for you.
