WHY DONT I GO TO AN PARTIES??
I've just searched on bebo for people who go to my school and in their photos thay all seem to hang out together, drinking, smoking, etc. They all look really happy, but I FEEL REALLY LEFT OUT. I'm 16 and I've never gone to party - only rarely do I go out with a friend or two. I just feel so depressed because of it. They all look SO happy in the pictures, posing and stuff, chilling with thier mates.
I'm getting so depressed aat looking at the pics, its as if I'm missing out on life. Sometimes I think about suicide and often cut myself.... I don't know what to do. People just dont seem to like me - I get in loads of fights as well. People spit on my, kick me, etc, but I dont do anything to provoke it. I also get insulted MANY times a day and it just brings be down. I think I'm gonna miss school tomorrow.... and maybe the day after as well.
There are likely some factors going on in your life that are causing you distress in socializing and/or preventing you from attaining a healthy social network.
You will have to be patient and be willing to try out several places until you find the right match. Counselors and/or counseling groups are so varied that there is no one type that fits all people. Inquire within your own community for group counseling for adolescents that focuses on people skills/social skills.
The reason why I suggest this is such sources will often have people experiencing similar problems as you describe and help you to sort it out and resolve issues. They will empower you if you find the right group and help you to recognize what is causing you obstacles to what you want to achieve.
At age 16, you are so young that you do not understand all the time you have coming to you. Hardships over a few years during adolescence is nothing when compared to a lifetime you have ahead.
When those other people seem to be having fun now, they will go through rough times as you feel now, likely far worse. So, stop comparing yourself to others, seek assistance and remember that your whole life is ahead of you, dismiss a bad year or two that you had.
You also may be taking to people that are not your friends and are better off not dealing with them. True friends will not insult you. Note those who do this and stay away from them. Form new friendships instead. Good luck!!!!
I love picking on losers.
