    Please don't give up. I know you said reading other people's stories and thinking about losing college is starting to lose it's edge, but hear me out. I go to what would be considered a 'Nerd School.' Everyone here is smart, just like you are, and a large majority are socially awkward to some extent or another, just like you are. But you know what? That doesn't matter here. No matter what your interest is, there is someone who likes the same thing, and there are enough people around that if you do meet someone who is condescending and just plain obnoxious, you can avoid them and make other friends. Please believe me when I say that missing college wouldn't just be missing out on knowledge, but on friends, laughter, tears, good times, bad times, adventures(ever climbed up an abandoned building at night and stared at the stars?), and experiences that are truly extraordinary. If you ever need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to send me a message, even if you just need someone to vent to. There are people here who want to help, strangers that genuinely care about your well being. So please, talk to someone, anyone, but if you need a stranger who won't judge (believe me, I've got issues of my own), you can talk to me. <3

    I'm very sorry you have to go through that. I also had a pretty rough childhood, but I made it and I pray that you will too. You're a fighter cause you've made it this far. Keep fighting!

    i know how u feel..u need someone to love u & listen to u & understand where ur coming from. then u need someone u can give this love to. have u tried calling a loved one you can trust, sharing these feelings? maybe u cld try visiting some people u know may care about u, some friends or family u can trust. or call a hotline. also, this is gonna sound like the ultimate dumb cliche, but know that God wants u, loves u as u are, and died because he wants u to live eternally. suicide will surely perpetuate ur problems, never solve them. ur precious & special in His eyes. he wants u to have fulfilling relationships with other people that will help u get closer to Him. in my personal experience, my relationships with others were most fulfilling when I first had that relationship with God. im sad for u that uv been treated so unfairly in life, by those within ur nearest vicinity.

    Write a much shorter story. Maybe more people will react. (To be truthful,, I didn't read the whole story.)

    Wow, sounds like you are really going through a tough time here. It may be really great to have a regular therapist to talk to, so you can see how normal you are but for the time being, come online here and talk to us! Please don't kill yourself - what you are going through now is temporary and I guarantee it will change for the better. (Write me back in your first year of college and tell me how different life is!) I was also bullied in school and no-one at home believed me. The teachers finally had to tell my parents about it. And I know what it's like to be the only Jewish person that a school full of kids and teachers have ever seen. It's like we come from Mars or something. Geesh. You won't believe how different college will be, and it is coming very soon for you. Those exact same people were in high school one year ago, but they act completely different. New friends, new confidence and new everything - not to mention - you get to be away from your family!! My relationship with my brother changed COMPLETELY the minute I went off to college. And your parents won't be around to depress you with all their problems, if you live on campus. It sounds like you are very smart and are doing well in school. If your home life is abusive, tell someone about it. Start by asking the school counselor or a teacher what you should do or who to talk to. Also, tell them about your bully classmate. There may be a school policy about bullying. About dating - of course, we all worry about whether someone will love us and choose us. You are still young. Many of us (me, for example) never had a single date in high school. Don't worry, it will come! Waiting sucks, but it will come, I promise. Girls like quiet, less social guys as well. With a little confidence (when things start to look up, you will have more confidence) and when you see someone you really like, you will be surprised at how you can connect with another person. Best of luck to you, and please keep at it. You are worthwhile, and you are worth fighting for. In Judaism, you are so important that the whole universe could be made just for you to be in it. It is that way for each of us. You should not have to tolerate being abused or misused by anyone, and I hope you can keep your eyes on the future. You are so close to being in charge of your own life, and it is going to feel so good.

    Any NDRI over years of use will have a compounding negative effect on the patients well being. I say drop the pills and start a workout routine at the gym instead. High school is basically pointless and nothing that happens there really matters in the long run. Don't let it get you down.

      No Focalin is not an antidepressant it is a type of ADHD drug.

      It's a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor and agonist. It's not an SSRI like an antidepressant, but it still has a similar long-term effect on your brain and reward system. If there's anything I know my way around in the world, it's drugs. xD

    I can't say I know exactly how you feel but I had a tough time in high school, i had basically no friends, i was bullied too, for being "ugly" and because i liked punk music, which was not cool then................???? so dumb. anyway, i respect your feelings and i just want to say, don't hurt yourself. i think about doing it too. but you are so young please just think about when you get to be out of school, in college, a whole new environment (that i never got to experience unfortunately) you will make new friends, meet new people, girls... people in high school are a-holes. they won't even matter once you graduate, trust me. live your life, move out, do your own thing. please just think about it. <3

    Wow... That must be really hard. Its truly messed up. I dont know how it must to be you but I am pretty sure it must have hurt like hell. First off, please know that your not alone. Second, its not how social you are that makes you normal. We are all weird in out ways, no one is normal is like saying no one is perfect. I myself have thought about and have tried to sucide but you know what? ... Its not worth it. Its not worth it for these trashy people. Your really smart, seriously dont lack off, keep on doing great work, your great and hard work will eventually show off, I promise. If you keep working hard in your studies then you will be somebody and they wont. I know its hard to ignore things or people esipcially to ignore the ones who cause you to be hurt. They say that it gets better, I dont know if thats true but we can at least try to give it a chance. I know you feel alone, so do I but really just try not to think about it. I know its hard not to think about it when its the only thing that you seem to be thinking about... Like I said before, just keep doing good in highschool, you will go to a good college and all the good stuff :) And maybe you can find some kind of hobby that will keep your mind off things. Like listening to music. In my case, its writing. Find some of the things you can do... I know its hard for you but you will be okay sooner or later. Please dont hurt yourself...its truly not worth it.

      Thanks but right now I'm running out of options and experiencing the symptoms of depression such as a lost of interest in things that I love doing. But it would be awesome if you helped me by spreading the word about my story.
