This might be the worst summer of my life…

This whole time, I’ve felt like nobody really understands me. I know my family cares about me, and that my friends like me, but I don’t really feel like they understand me. Just now i was trying to reach out to them, and they just laughed at me. And soon I’m going off to university, and I don’t know if I’ll makes any true friends. I’m so worried i’ll be alone.

I don’t know what I’m asking for, but if anyone one has helpful words, please say them. I need some good advice.

You will make friends at university. Some of them may even turn out to be “true” friends. Trust me on this, everyone gets a LOT more popular at uni. Whereabouts are you going?

Belive me, when you get to University you WILL make friends. My friend thought he wouldnt, and he didnt have many friends….and he now has like around 20 at university. You WILL make friends! You just need to be honest to them and they will care about you.

just stay positive!! you’re about to start a whole new experience and you just have to be positive and you’ll meet amazing people i’m sure. just think, maybe you were supposed to experience this so when you are surrounded by people who love you and care about you, you will be able to appreciate it. everything happens for a reason : )

It’s okay. -pats- We all go through this. I have some serious problems, and I have even cried about them before… and some of them laughed about them! Like what I was saying wasn’t serious…

Don’t worry. There are other people like you, who want to be understood and loved. (: You will find them, and have lots of fun at University! I’m sure of it. ^^
