trust me, having curly hair is something you will love when you are older. Kids will pick anything to make fun of people about, I really wouldn’t worry about that

As for the rest, seeing a councillor is a very good idea

And having 7 aquaintances is amazing. School is so hard, and teenagers always feel like they are unwanted, and no one likes them etc. Tbh, when I was a teenager, I’d pretend I didnt want to go to peoples houses because actually I was too shy and didnt know how to act, or how to be alone with people. I know this may be different to your situation, but just bear in mind that your friends and classmates are not so different to you

In general, here is some advice I wish I could give my past self:

don’t care what people think of you.
be as nice as you can bear to people, but dont be false
dont moan about your problems too much, open up in short bursts only to people you are close to
if you do moan, make sure you listen for an equal amount of time to their problems, not matter how trivial they may seem compared to yours
11 is too young to be left home alone
you are way more beautiful than you realise
even if youre not ‘hot’, once you get older make up goes a massive way towards self confidence
but too much make up looks stupid

some random points there. I know its hard to not care what people think but hopefully your confidence will grow, and that in turn will make life more bearable
