Will it get better?

[drum]

Hey everyone i would really appreciate some advice on my current situation at school.
(share experiences please!!!)
I am from Scotland, UK and i am 15 (16 in November) and i am currently in fourth year in scottish terms which means i have three years until university (college). From ages 12-14 i have been constantly used and screwed over by my "friends", after realising this i have moved on and we dont see each other outside of school - good i don't care for them any more. With that being said i have come to terms with the feeling that i don't fit in with any groups of people and i have ONE friend i can rely on who i see every few weeks out of school. I know that i don't fit in because i listen to metal and have interests in different types of games than virtually everyone in my year.
All i want to know is what are the chances of things getting socially better before i leave school? And when i go to uni (college) do you think i will find people who i will connect with?
I am really worried about my future, especially the social aspect.
I will appreciate any advice:)

Well, there is no way of knowing for sure.
All I can tell you is be yourself, don't act like someone you're not just so you can make friends.

If you do make friends before or in college, then great. If you don't, then don't feel bad.
At least you have that one friend you know you can always rely on.
There are some people who have no friends.

Im from England and I am 15 aswell , you might be in the year below me because im 16 in July , never heard of Scottish terms , but I am in year 11. I have also had experiences like you with friends , in My old school which was quite a large middle school and I only had one friend , just like you , I never erally saw them , and I didnt really fit in with anyone, if only I lived near you we have similar music interests haha. It's a shame because in school's people are very picky and you have to like certain music, or games etc. Your social life MIGHT improve before you leave school , but what I did , is I went to a much smaller school , there is only 40 of us in one whole year , and get on with pretty much everyone , basically because nobody knew who I was so I had to build up a new reputaion. College and unis a far less judging and you definately will find people to connect with , because you choose what you want to do and thats when you find people who you have the same interests with. I did worry about my future , I was worried about going to a smaller school where I hardly knew anybody. My advice is anybody who ignores you , ignore them! I was severely bullied and I was like a prime Bulyee (not really a word) , but then I ignored it and they stopped. Sorry if this is too long or not helpful , I just thought it was maybe better to share my own experiences :)

The chances of things getting better socially before you leave school, I think are a bit slim. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. If people there have just used you and screwed you over, then fuck them, you don't need those kind of shitty people in your life anymore. Focus on the friendship that you do have, and look to the future. I will guarantee you that once you go to uni things will get better. There is a vastly greater array of people once you've gone to university, and I would be surprised if you DIDN'T find people who had similar interests to yours there. Be yourself, don't change yourself to try and get people to like you. Keep the friend that you've got now, but remember not to overwhelm them or become clingy as well. Even once you begin going to A-levels, I could see you having a lot more people who would share your interests hun. Things will get better, you've just got to be patient. Keep being yourself, and focus on the friendship(s) you have now. Put yourself out there a bit more when you've moved on from the school you're at now, and I know you'll find people who will be great friends :) We're all here to help and support you if you need it as well, and if you ever need to talk we'll be here for you!

Okay well i did have a friend on here same as you, Scottish, Into metal and different gaming and only had one friend and A LOT of other things going on but you know what he did? He pushed through it all and kept a clear mind :)
Now as for me i was always abused and used and only have one friend to but school, Not gonna lie it never got easier, In fact it got worse and worse, But you know what i did? I stayed in that school from start to finish and never showed i was hurting to show much even to the teachers who bullied me to say "I am here and no matter what you do NOTHING will hurt me so deal with it!" But now i am in college and it is SO nice! All of the teachers respect you and are nice to you, The class is like one big family it is so cool! And if random people see you struggling they help you! Good luck with school and college :)

And yes i wont change who i am to fit in, that is some good advice again:). Thanks again to you all, it really means a lot to me:)
