High school has been a bad experience so far and I wish I didn't have to go anymore. I cannot handle all the b.s. imposed on me every day and now I'm grounded for skipping school. My parents had to go talk to my guidance counselor regarding all the days I missed so far. They both leave early for work so I sometimes stay home and make sure I answer the phone when the school's recorded message comes in letting them know I was absent.

 

The main reason I never want to go to school is because there's a small click of girls that live to make my life miserable. They spread nasty rumors about me which are total lies. I don't know why they hate me, I did nothing to any of them. I used to be friends with one of them but since we started high school she pretends she doesn't know me. When she started hanging out with her "new" friends she became a different person.

lies-rumorsThe worst thing they did was when they made fliers with a picture of me from Facebook and wrote call if looking for a good time and they put it all over. I got calls from a bunch of old dudes wanting to "hook up". I had to change my number and I told my mom it was because I was getting too many prank calls. These girls spread rumors all over school that I'm easy even though I never had a boyfriend. It's all getting out of control and I don't know how to handle it.

High school was so bad for me - I was the Satan worshipping, drug addicted, lesbian w**re- that I ended up dropping out. Biggest mistake ever! I agree with everyone else, your education is far more important that some snarky, stupid little girls and their small minded little comments. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being a little different, or even a lot different. "Like water on a ducks back." Be the biggest success you can possibly be. No matter how alone you may feel, you are not. People DO care!

I think if I were your dad I would just try to switch schools. Do you think if you told them, you could convince them to do the same? Or maybe if one of your folks would be amenable, sit him/her down and explain how unhappy you are, basically what you told us, and s/he makes the case to the other. This is a parent's job, put your kids in the best environment you reasonably can.

I am so sorry these sad females are being nasty to you so much of your life…Sometimes those ugliest inside/outside or both just can't live with who they are. They hate themselves so much, that they make themselves feel better by making others feel just as bad as they feel, just happens to be you--sorry.
When you see them, look at them straight on & pity them. They are the next Mrs divorced ex's, drunks & druggies, while you will be just fine.

Dear, you must go to school; do not let anything or anyone stand in the way of your greatness. You must choose you first.
I had the same stuff in school, I think a lot of us have been bullied.....I ignored them, worked as hard as I could at my school work….When tachers hold you in high regard, it's hard for others to make you look like a fool….What's funny is when you excel at sports, academics, work, those who make fun or try to bully you are exposed for the idiots they are….Everyone will see what they are & this makes them very un-popular...& they will stop.

Make your life inportant & first for you. Become so absorbed in what you love doing that they fade into oblivion...it really works….
The work place is much the same...holding my head high, working hard, not talking dirt, being pleasant to all who care about me...gets me through the days...and I love my work...and most of those around me....I shake off the "dust", they won't change.

Love & hugs to you, please keep writing, I want to know how you are doing. Chin up girl, it's a wonderful world. I care.

High school is difficult for a lot of people for different reasons. I was a "fatty" which made high school difficult and it seems like the bullying has only gotten worse over the years. I graduated about 15 years ago, so I am old enough to have healed from it but young enough to remember.

In life there is always going to be "those people". I wish I could say it goes away, but it does get better. I know it is difficult but you really need to find a way that will make school more tolerable. I never understood why people participated in all these high school things until I was much older. All I knew is I wanted to get the hell out of there.

Since I never put forth any effort I never went on to a 4 year college that would have probably been just the salvation I needed. Education is essential to making the rest of your life what you want out of it. Partially because of torment, partially out of laziness. I actually missed more days than I went in 10th grade, my parents had no idea. I worked in the office as a volunteer so I changed my record to my private phone line (that’s all we had 15 years ago). Eventually it all came to a head. My grades were actually pretty good but teachers start to wonder when you miss that much school.

Honestly you really can't make these girls change. They will eventually realize in the real world they are not half as hot as they think they are. Hopefully you can maintain good enough grades to make you eligible for a good college and you will go on with your life and make the most out of it. I know it may seem really hard but in the grand scheme of life high school is a blip.

You may also want to consider talking to your parents. I know it is embarrassing...most people don’t want their parents involved in that part of their life, but as a parent now if this was something that my son was going through I would hope he would come to me. Your parents may be able to get you transferred to another school in your district.

If you don’t want to go to another district and they will not stop, the best advice that I can give you is to ignore with "a smart*ss" attitude. If you catch them saying something turn your back to them that lets them know that what they say really has no effect on you. It seems that if you go along with the joke that someone is trying to say it gives them nothing to work with.

If they call you easy, let them know you are actually the reason that their dad is leaving their mom, welcome home step mommy. If you take away the pain they are trying to inflict, eventually it will no longer be any fun.
