Lonely

[ViciousScheme]

Hey, I dont understand, I have tons of friends, a good life, tons of material stuff, i even have my own computer, but i feel lonely and I feel like im going out of my mind because absolutely nobody understands me. I tried my mom but she doesnt understand, none of my friends understand. Help me, im going insane! I pondered suicide, realized that was out of question, so now im stuck with having a life with nothing to live for. Please, help.

Well maybe you just need more to do, have any hobbies? sports or anything? doing physical things releases chemicals in your brain which makes you happy.

Hello I remember you. Welcome back to VT.:D

I agree with Miike. What exactly do your friends and family not understand about you?

Nothing, no sports cause im 13 and im 4"7' and 90 lbs. and cant run for shit. No hobbies besides from skating, and its winter. Tryd chocolate, but it doesnt seem to be working. I even lift weights!



-My family and friends do not understand what im going through, and how absolutely frustrating my life is, not to mention having a twisted teacher. She got kicked out for verbal abuse. Grades are slipping, all my parents care about is "hows the car" and "how much $ this month?" I bought my computer myself, luckily i got a job at a flower store owned by my friend's dad. They are slowly drifting apart, my dads going for material suff and my moms going for religion, they yell alot more and i can feel divorce coming on any day now. I dont want to have to carry this weight when im only 13

You can't control your parents, you can't control your family, or what they want to do. But you can control somewhat your life and how much you're exposed to what's going on with the troubles at home. The more you're around that unpleasant environment the worst you feel.

Try to find something to do that can take a portion out of the day to where you're out having fun and making friends with people instead of being around your parents. Your friends and hobbies can be an escape from all of this. It won't change the outcome of what might inevitably happen but at least you have the hobby (like cross country) and friends to fall back on. It won't fix everything but it makes dealing with the issues going on much easier.
