There is a lot of stuff going on right now in my life most if not all of it is bad. I know that my "friends" have their own stuff going on but I don't expect them to sit there and listen to me whine about stuff they have no idea of. I just want to be able to hang and chill at least being able to pretend that I am a normal teenage girl with like normal teenage drama. No one knows the real stuff but I want a life badly but my friends don't seem to be interested in being with me. I do not know why that is and it really bugs me. I am not mean, pushy, bossy, and I shower regularly I just don't understand why I am usually left by myself. Even my best friend treats me really badly and it makes everything else so much worse. I do not have an escape. Cutting, drugs and stuff like that would be the alternative {suicide has cross my mind} but acting on any of this would not solve anything. I just need some advice or something. I am very lonely in every way and just wish someone would hear me and maybe even understand.

" I completely understand except one thing; "At least being able to pretend that I am a normal teenage girl." I really want to know what that means. I've been through friendship troubles only to find that maintaining a close friendship with someone is really hard. I as of now have a few good friends but only one whom I really connect with... she lives in another state so we only talk online and text each other and if we're lucky, we see each other once a year. My friends are great but I just don't seem to be the one they want to hang out with. That's what I'm assuming with you when you say that your friends are just not interesting. Either you confront them, you change their mind by proving your worth to them (because I know you are worth it), or you branch out and make new friends.

There are a lot of things you can do. You just have to do them. Message me if you ever need anything because you don't have to be alone in the world and I want to listen to you and could probably understand. :D
Have a GREAT day! "

" Your friends are supposed to be there for you, you need to talk about the hard times to get through them. It's not whining. Maybe your scared to be alone but it's not Ok for your best friend to treat you badly, that can wreck your self esteem. That happened to me, no one deserves that. I really like how you said cutting,drugs and suicide wouldn't solve anything, a lot of times people don't understand that until their addicted to it. I think you need to talk to your friends and if they don't care you'll need to make new ones I know scary, but you need a strong support system "

" Also I lost all my friends my freshman year, we grew apart. It sucked, but it made me stronger. It's not your fault they haven't been interested in you lately. Friends change when your young. "
