depression help: I have no friends. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I have no friends.

I changed schools after my ninth grade year. It was my decision to move from a small private school to a much bigger private school. I was tired of poor athletics, and the fact that everyone was leaving to either go to public school or a bigger private school. My sophomore year was good as everyone wanted to get to know me because I was simply the new kid. I got much stronger for athletics and became one of the biggest kids in my grade. I began to lose friends as kids became meaner. They showed sides I’d never previously seen and revealed their true personalities. Everyone had been nice before (especially since I had my license earlier than almost anyone) but now they didn’t care about me. I had plenty of friends at my old school and have friends outside of school. I’m now a senior with no friends in school and I’ve skipped alot of the story but I just want advice on how to get through my senior year without wanting to kill myself. I’m not asking to be happy, just not depressed. I believe things will turn around when I go to college but for now I’ve never been so unhappy in my entire life…

First, it is important to realize that no one is all good or all bad. Everywhere you go, there will be people who suck completely, people who are ok, people who are kind, people who are awesome, people who are rude, and people who will end up being your best friends. You won’t get along with everyone, nor will you want to.

Honestly, it seems very odd that everyone around you suddenly became “meaner”. Perhaps you should ask some of your former friends why people aren’t your friends anymore. Maybe you started acting differently without realizing it.

Awww, sweetie….. if I could only get you to believe this…. believe it or not,in a very short time those kids won’t matter a bit. You have a lot to live for. I can tell you are a smart, bright person with so much potential to become successful at whatever you chose to. Remember that you are a bigger person than them, don’t let them get to you. I do PROMISE you that there is a lot out there in the real world, lots of great opportunities and fun people to meet- you have your whole life ahead of you and if your smart you can experience so much of what the world has to offer. Think about all that you can do, all the fun you can have, all the people you can help….think about the day you meet that special someone. Really…do you see what I mean? This year will pass you by and it won’t matter in the big picture. Ignore the people who are acting ignorant, try to make friends with the ones that will truly be a friend and reach for the stars…you only have one life to live, make the best and do the most. Best wishes.

I am really sorry to hear that. Life really throws some curves at us all. Remember to take a deep breathe and just keep on keeping on. There are a few sayings that I try to remember especially when things are tough. And I know things are tough for you right now. It is an awful feeling to look around and not feel that you have a friend. Saying #1 - You reap what you sow. (Try to be a good friend to people who deserve it.) Saying #2 - This too shall pass. (Badtimes end and good times end.) Saying #3 - When you are going through hell…keep going! (Hell is not any place you want to hang out in.) ;)
Besides being a teenager really sucks. Teenagers can really suck. You will get through this and you are better then this. Remember that you will be beyond this soon and moving on to bigger and better things. Crappy people are not worth worrying about. Your life is much more important then what is happening over a single year in highschool. You have so much more important things ahead of you. God Bless!
