I Was An Outcast In School

I have always felt like an outcast, but during school, and especially the first years, it was very dramatic. I cannot complain that I was bullied, or mocked, or ridiculized. On the contrary, both my peers and teachers always stayed away...

I have never felt the feeling of 'belonging' during my school years. I always had been the odd one out , the freak, the loner. Most of my classmates could be very sadistic and used to make me feel a lot inferior to them. Is your skin...

I was always the outcast in school. Since I was 9, I went to a different school every year. So I was always the new kid. Once, I was the only black kid in a predominantly Jewish school; another time, I was one of two black students (the...

I feel like I was the class outcast at my high school. I didn't have that many friends. I only had one person I really felt close to in high school, and since she started getting home schooled our friendship has been very strained. I...

Moved away to a new town and school after the fifth grade and was at the dead bottom of the social ladder. I was easy prey for whoever wanted me and was having to deal with abuse at home by a stepfather. It still bothers me and I am...

yesterday i started tenth grade at a new school and i hate being the new kid. I feel so awkward and alone. The way I imagined my first day was meeting someone i could talk to but no, I feel as if I can't relate to anyone in my classes...

They called me Hitler because of my 20th April birthday...  they even called me the devil...  and they called me a creep/weirdo because I never acted like a girl.  I hate swimming lessons so much... I ...

Iknow how you feel.....it never seems to go away....the paranoia is constant...grew up in a rural area, just my family around, never knew how to interact, unaware of unspoken signals....feel like i dont belong....40 years later i feel...

Family relationship wasn't good. And when I go to school, I felt as if I don't belong there. I feel as if every one can see what am going through at home. I felt friends started to avoid me. Whenever I try to talk to a friend, she would...

Yep... I was never the popular one. Or even the sorta-liked one in school. I was actually more of an outcast than the other nerds. I had wondered about that, when I was growing up. There were many other easy targets in my class, for the...

Not just school but everywhere. I believe it is something you are born into and just are.

I was a loser through middle onto high school..
As a child, I constantly moved from place to place. My parents got divorced, and I did some further moving around until my mom finally chose to move in a very rich area. I was most likely...

I empathize with most people on this forum. I hope my story sends a positive message too...

Basically, when I was in middle school I had a good life. I had a small group of friends and there was one who I used to hang out with all the...

I moved to a lot of different schools growing up.  My parents felt guilty about this, thinking that this is why kids bullied me, but it wasn't.  I remember feeling faint with relief every time I'd move to a new school. ...

I was a very shy, quiet kid in school. My family was poor, but we lived near a rich community, so I attended the same school as the rich kids. I was picked on constantly by not only the other students, but the teachers as well. They did...

Me and my lonely group of friends sitting and laughing at our table. Everyone steering clear of us in fear that they might catch a disease. Not really, but we do sit by ourselves and most people hate most of us (me) I love being an...

Mom wanted me so badly to go to the same school where she studied that she took me there, and made me stay despite dad, and the psychologist, and everyone advised her not to do so. I have written in other posts about the impact this had...
