I feel alone and I don't like the life I have

Hi, this is my second thread. I just have some other feelings I kind of wanna talk to someone about. (i'm 14)

I feel really alone. I don't have a best friend, but I don't have any other friends either. I hang out with this group but only because I've been with them since year seven and I don't want to look like a loner. There aren't really any people I can hang out with from my grade, I've definitely tried looking. It also feels like everyone thinks I'm a loser, people don't want to text me or talk to me at school. I'm part of two sport teams and I still can't find anyone. I know that friends will 'present themselves in time' and all these other things but I don't want to be alone for four years. I don't want to have to keep my feelings to myself all the time and never be invited anywhere.

I also went to England last year to visit my family and I miss it so much. My family can't really afford to go often but I feel like my family is missing me grow up and there are so many things and experiences and relationships I want to share with them. I can't go during two week breaks because we generally go for three weeks plus and I can't miss any school but my mum says that the six week holidays are too expensive and we won't like the weather. I tried to get there another way by going through a student exchange to just escape for a bit and experience something new and meet new people, but my mum shut that down. I've tried coming at this at every angle all my mum says is that I need to get over it and look at what I do have and stop being s negative but I don't know what there is to look at! I have no friends or social life, I personally hate Australia (no offence), and I'm going through some really hard feelings alone so I'm not sure what great things she's talking about. I don't want to do this life anymore, I hate it but there's nothing I can do about it. I also don't want to waste four years of my life, especially my teenage years. My parents say that if I'm going through something I should tell them or just someone except I don't have anyone to tell and they always ignore my feelings. I told my mum I wanted to move after high school and my mum said she would never forgive me if I did. I cry almost everyday because I want to go back so badly and she knows how much I miss it, and she's still saying this. I don't want to have to move away and never see her but I hate it here. I have no idea what to do or where to go.

Oh clo that’s awful! Are you okay at least a little bit? My dads yelled that at me too befor, but he didnt throw any of stuff away or anything. You don’t have to self-harm, there are other ways. I’m not the best at talking and I haven’t been in my situations myself but please don’t do anything too drastic I’m always here for you. I wish there was another way to be there for you but i try to be on here as much as possible. Xxxxxxx

Hey cloe

im glad your okay now, and it’s nice to know that meant so much to you. To be perfectly honest it seems like everyday goes on forever. I really just dread it and feel “bad” around the people at my school. Especially this one girl she’s Always putting down and trying to “put me in my place”. I just ignore her but still kind of sucks. I keep thinking about England too. I just get this feeling in my stomach all day I can’t really describe it.

How was your day? Have you spoken to your ex? Xx

Hey Milly 🙂

This girl who is 'putting you in your place'- I don't really know how to say this but maybe she's not putting you in your place she's putting you in hers? Might be confusing but she's mean and you're above her so maybe she's trying to make you feel like you're below her?

I talk to my ex everyday... he's killing me slowly... he'll kick my chair or poke me in class and i'll turn around and be like 'what' and he'll trace the letter his gfs name starts with in he air or on his book. I pretend to laugh and be happy but every time he does that a small piece of me breaks. And he does it a lot. I'm a pretty good actor and it looks authentic and to some extent it feels authentic, i want him to be happy but this is killing me...

x hope you have a good day

Hey cloe. Yeah I get what you mean, cause even though she gets like straight A’s she’s pretty immature. That’s probably the wrong word but I mean she just does stuff like that all the time. The person I actually am closest to is her best friend and we were doing this thing in sport with partners. Obviously I was kind of the third wheel and she just immediately turned around and said guess you’ll need a partner! Tbh cloe this guy sounds like a total a-class Jerk. I mean doing that thing with the letters is weird in itself. You should tell him how you feel about it. If it’s upsetting you he’s not really worth and it’s a toxic relationship. If you tell him and work things out then maybe you’ll end up bing better friends. I know if might be hard I hate confrontation but if he can’t listen to what you have to say he’s not really worth holding onto.

What you go through is probably worse that what I do but I feel like I’m faking every second of my life. I want to turn around and say just go away to everyone but instead I laugh and smile and says I’m tired when people ask me if I’m okay. I’m not. I always have to pretend something you said didn’t hurt my feelings or that I like you or that I’m happy. (People at my school not actually you haha) I just really miss England I need to be there and I can’t be and I don’t know what to do. When I visualise my situation I see me in water with something heavy on top pushing me down. Like I’m trapped.

Hope your day was good x

Hey Milly

My day was good thank you 🙂

She sounds immature lol. And to be honest now, my ex doesn't really bother me now. i've had a good think and ive realised i might be starting to move on. Slowly.

Yes i hate confrontation lol.

If i was you the next time someone asks you if youre okay i would say no (as long as they are a trustworthy person that i know haha). That would be one way to improve a friendship.

Gotta go finish my history essay 😞

x last day for the week tomorrow!

Hey cloe.

Mum suuuuuuper glad to hear that your moving on! It’s a little bit stupid but there was a guy I was friends with that completely just stop talking to me and he started avoiding me and too this day I never know why he did. It took me ages to get over it cause we even went on a half date thingy. Now I’m just mad but I’m over it.

I don’t really trust anyone at school so I’m just waiting for my mum to ask and I will tell her this time. I just end up crying every time and can’t communicate lol.

ugh I still have a source for history to do :(( have fun xxx
