Hi STA,
Welcome to Beyondblue. I can hear your frustration and hurt, you've taken a huge step just by coming here and reaching out for support, so well done.
Schools can be a tough place, especially if you're being bullied. Sadly we have to spend a big chunk of the day there. It also sounds like you have some problems to contend with at home. In addition your confidence and self esteem have been impacted.
It would be good if you could speak with a student counsellor at your school. You don't have to tolerate the bullying, and the counsellor should be able to give you some help with this. I'm also hoping that you'll feel comfortable to share with the counsellor how you're feeling about yourself, and what's going on at home for you.
I'm not sure how old you are, but your other option is to seek the help of a GP. I don't know how comfortable you will be doing this.
Is there a trusted adult that you could talk to? An aunt, or cousin, or sibling?
The other option is to contact Beyondblue directly. Either by phone or webchat. The trained professionals are ready to listen and will be able to discuss some options with you.
I really encourage you to talk with someone, as you don't need to go through this alone.
I hope you will get back to us and let us know how you get on.
