im just well, depressed.

[Lonely_Shadow]

i mostly get bullied about the way i look or the things i like. i usually get bullied verbally not physically. i would just keep being put down constantly by everyone even if they don't mean it and from this i started getting depressed . and if i said "hey could you chill with the insults" they would be like shut up pussy. i only have one real friend but we never hang out we just talk and that's about it and he doesn't know much about what i feel. and to add to the fact since its not specifically one person i cant tell a counselor or the adult would call me up during lunch and say "hey leave this kid alone and stop harassing him" in front of the grade and that would lead to more problems. and all the insults slowly make me aggressive and one day when some one says the wrong thing to me and I'm just going to explode on them. I'm usually like this because i have no one who i know in person to express this too so the anger just bottles up in me. now I'm really just getting the "who really gives a shit about me?" perspective on life also i was adopted and that doesn't help. and my birth mom was 17 when she had me. i was born a mistake.

have any advice?

Everyone goes through rough times in life. You just have to keep your head up and stay strong. Much easier said than done i know.

The bullies could be doing what there doing for a number of reasons, you just have to not give them the satisfaction. I've not been in a similiar situation so i can't relate all that much.

People do care about you though :) You might not of been planned, but that doesn't mean your mother see's you as a mistake.

Don't start thinking about your mother like that - you're your own person away from whether she thinks you were a 'mistake' or not - that should be an incentive to feel more alive.

Red part: if you take this attitude, then people WILL just tell you to shutup. Stand firm, be assertive and let these people know that you're being serious - it's getting you down, whether they're joking or not, and that you're not prepared to put it up with it anymore.

Green part: if you don't connect with your friend much, then they can't be of much help to you. Confiding in someone is often one of the hardest things to do - mainly because of all the consequences that come with it. Maybe you should try and get to know your friend a little better? That way you'd at least have someone to fall back on or help you out a little bit whenever things are getting you down. I'm not suggesting that you tell him every single bit of information about you because that is never a good idea, but like you said, you feel you have no one that you can relate to/rely on, so maybe that friend is a good place to start.

Hope this helps you out and good luck with getting your confidence back!

these people sound like imature punks. i wouldent put to much stock into what they say. you are who you are and it dosent help to bet yourself up becasue i bunch of people decide its cool to put you down. what they are saying is meaningless, just bile words spewed by people that dont know what they are talking about, and i know after a while they can bring you down, but you just got to get back up again stronger. make some new friends that will stand behind you when you push back. and never forget that what your going though is temperary. people will grow up and stop this. its just a stage in life. and no matter who you, are what you think you were, or how you are treated you will always be you so embrace it and if people dont like it to bad. sucks for them.

Hate to hear that dude. People usually pick on people because they think it makes them look cool...which is stupid. Why dont you have more friends? Not judging you, just askin. I'm sure you are a cool guy and you should give people the chance to find that out. If you are getting aggressive man dont keep holding it in. You'll lash out one day and maybe hurt someone or get in trouble? Talk to someone. Not sure what your school is like, but we have a counselor person on staff who isnt part of the school...she is from another agency and her whole job is to talk to kids about their problems, and its all confidential or whatever. If you dont have anyone like that, go to guidance, but let them know you dont want them to call you out in front of everybody.
