How do I gain the confidence to go to school when my disability makes me feel like a freak?

I fake being sick most of the time so I don't have to go there, but I can't avoid it too much. Everyone stares at me, and it's hard to make friends, and any time I do make a new friend I feel like they are just pitying me. I wish I could just stay home again and listen to music all day...

    To remind yourself why you go to school.
    You go to school for yourself, to educate yourself and learn.
    In 20-25 years from now those who are not supporting won't be there neither, you will be the one facing life. Better be prepared. All this in Love for all beings. No grudge or anything just the determination to be the best person educated person you can be.

    Everybody has their own negetive points. No need to be ashamed for this, No one is born brilliant... we have to work out on this to overcome our disabilities. Please do not feel ashamed, take help from your teachers and close frenz... and if you try hard, you will succeed one day. Be the one to show your classmates that nothing is really impossible! I wish you all the best, dear.

    Oh okay, then, you need one really. Only a gud hearted friend can increase your confidence level. But right now if you do not have any friend, then no need to feel depressed. It's far far better to be alone than to have a fake friend. If you want, I can help you out, dear :) feel free to share your problems.

    Here is my solution..Bring yourself up form the rumbles of doubt and bring yourself to a new level of self confidence. You cannot be concerned with what others think. If you worry about the opinions of others. Stop hiding..gain an ego...and take control

    Stop being scared and be awesome instead.

    Actually, OWN your differences. Smile and be friendly. Show others that what makes you different makes you interesting, too. Don't be offended if someone asks questions about your disability, teach them about it.

    Did I mention smile? Because that's really the most important thing. :)

    Honestly, I'd rather tell them to F off. I get very upset when people ask me about it, hard to not be offended... I try my very best to hide it but it never works.

    Sorry I watch way too much anime. But the theory is sound. We view ourselves more harshly then other people do. So find someone who sees you as better person then you see yourself. and tell yourself they have it right.
