Hi, welcome 

I'm so glad you wrote in.

I'm much older, 66 in fact but I do recall the most difficult part of my life- from 12-15yo. Kids at school were cruel, teachers not understanding enough and lack of happiness overall.

The good news is that this situation improves. Once you get past yhat age you can gain some control over your life.

For example at 17yo I joined the Airforce. It was a big move but I had lots of new friends, a career and travel. A big difference to when younger.

I hope you get some support from school counsellor or a family member because life can be really great and you write really well

Cheers

Hey James, it’s sucks to see you talk like that. Do you want to shed some light on why you are done?

Early teens are the awkward stage they say, kids can be very cruel. We’re figuring out the bigger questions in life, we’re settling into our personality and by extension- our friendship/s 

Try to keep in mind that every time you wake up, every day that begins- is a chance that something will get better. If you try and open yourself up to that, and embrace it through action it may be anle to help you.

Stay strong bud

Heey. I completely understand how you are feeling right now. We are in the same boat. Been suffering so bad. Wouldn't let a dog suffer like I do. Bad breathing for years and now palpitations palpitations. Doesn't stop.

Hello James-nick, hi and pleased to meet you, and realise you aren't feeling well at all, I'm so very sorry, because there must be so much going through your mind, way too much to even contemplate and only wishing you had someone to talk to.

Many of us have been through this ourselves at your age, but know that it could be totally different to what you are struggling with now.

Please know that you might feel it's difficult to come back to us, however, there are many people who want to listen to what you want to say and there is no judgement at all.

I have supported you and really hope you can post back to us.

Geoff.

Life Member.
