My patience is very limited. I do so much to try and be a friend, and yet whenever I tell my parents about how sad I am to not have anyone at school to talk to, they say I need to try harder. What else can I do? I’m still that one person who is left out when the teacher says to break into groups, or do anything else that involves teamwork. I feel like suicide is the only way to get everyone to understand how much what they say or do can hurt me, but they still may not even care.

I know high school seems overbearing when you’re in it but it’s such a small part of your life. I didn’t fit in when I was in high school either. The few friends I had were outcasts too. It was something I had no control over.
I preferred college as I got to pick where I wanted to go, what I wanted to study and I had lots of friends in college who were just like me.
So think about college. What do you want to study? What do you want to be when you get older? Start now while you’re stuck in high school. Your college years will be much better. I promise.
As for your parents, make them watch the movie The Breakfast Club…. seriously. It’s about social status in high school and how awkward it can be for teenagers especially when their parents just don’t get it….
Hang in there. You’re too young to be thinking about suicide. You will have more control over your life when you’re out of high school. Remember that!!
I can relate so much to what you are saying. I was switched into different schools constantly so I was also that outcast. You honestly never know when things can change so don’t give up hope. It’s your life don’t let some jerks take control of what’s yours. I agree with Stange magic I think college is a great new start people are more mature there and over that stage of stupid cliques.
I think there are other ways to let people know that you are hurt other than taking your life. Honestly sometimes parents can’t understand. But there are others who do. Like people this site.
Some other suggestions I have is to try to join clubs and maybe a team if you are in a new school situation because that could get you connected to other.
Hope this helped. Take care.
I can’t switch schools since public school would definitely be worse. Since I am gay, it wouldn’t be fun to have a bunch of boys having crushes on me. That was a problem in elementary school. Everyone “understands” my problems, but no one “gets” it, if that makes sense. People I know can go back and forth from being completely understanding to having a get-over-it attitude.
