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.

Hellooo! I'll check YouTube 😉 And you're welcome I'm not a judging person so you can tell me whatever you want to 😊

How did your AFL game go? I went to a family friends house for lunch. It was fun.

Hey. We win 4-66 but to be perfectly honest my team just makes me feel even more lonely 😕

Aww. Let me give you a big (but sadly virtual) hug. Why do they make you feel lonely? do none of them talk to you? I would have thought you'd be friends with your teammates... You're a team after all... Hey it's not your fault though. Good job with the win though! Go Milly!

💙 here for you even if you feel like no one is xox

Hello! That sucks. Maybe yiu could try start up a convo with them? Might get that 'I'll talk but this is really weird' vibe, but don't worry, if I talk to other competitors at dance comps they are always like that. Might take them a bit to warm up to you.

Mwhahahahaha I'm not at school till tomorrow. Last day today 😢 Just got back from the orthodontist my whole entire bloody face hurts 😠 Ah well 5 months till the braces come off 🤗😎

have a good day at school x talk later 💚

I think I just have to live with it. It doesn’t matter how much I try people just don’t return the effort. Aaah braces! I’m not sure if I need them probably 😂
