I am so sick and tired of my life right now. I just want to be happy and that seems so far away. I always used to be a good student in school, and now I am failing most every class. I used to be popular with a lot of friends, but it seems like every one has moved on. I am not a bad person. I have never done drugs, or even had a sip of alcohol. But no one seems to like me that much. I try to be nice to every body, go about doing my own things, yet, I feel so alone. I want someone to tell me that it’s going to be okay. I need hope. I feel so alone now. There is no one to talk to. My dad is a school counselor, and is always working with very troubled people. I feel like he has no time for me. My mom does not understand anything I am going through. And whenever I want to talk, she makes it seem like it’s no big deal and tells me to stop complaining. I feel like I am screaming, but no one can hear me. I am very blessed and very lucky to have the things that I have. But I am missing out in the important things like love and friendship. How can I become more social without losing who I am? How can I find love and friends who are actually there for me?
