Hey, welcome to the forum!
I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling unhappy and unsupported at your new school. It's cruel that hurtful comments are being directed at you. If you don't mind me asking, how do you usually react to these hurtful words and behaviour? Have teachers or older students noticed? Talking to your parents about how you're feeling could be helpful. Even if they can't change anything, just talking to someone close to you can sometimes make it feel as though you're less alone in your struggle. It's been this way for me, and I know it has helped others too.
It's great that you care about learning and your education. Focusing on what you care about is important, so I'm glad you focus at school, despite what other people do. I'm now 24, so I was at school a little while ago, but I remember vividly what school was like for me. I was very socially awkward, and I enjoyed English the most.
If you're overwhelmed with thoughts and worries, you could write down what's bothering you (not worrying about grammar or how the words come out). I've typed in a word document before, and then deleted it afterwards.
I have honestly found this slightly calming. It doesn't solve any problems, but it is helpful to express concerns, rather than having them circulate in your mind constantly.
Speaking to your school counsellor (this is private, so no other kids will know) could help. Talking to adults you trust and can rely on is important. When I was in high school, I talked to my Mum whenever I was worried or upset. In fact, I still do sometimes! Having someone you know will always be there for you is important.
It would be great to hear back from you 🙂
Best wishes,
Zeal
