Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
I am new to this website. I came here hoping someone would be going through the same thing as I am. I am 17 years old almost 18. I have been bullied since 3rd grade and i changed different schools because I was being bullied so bad. Even when i changed schools I have tried making new friends but it just doesn't work out. I have been depressed and lonely and don't have anyone to turn to.. Not even my dad because he is never home. My mom lives in ogden with her girlfriend and her girlfriend never let's me see my own mom. I live with my grandparents and they dont understand what I am going through. I have told my mom all of my feelings. She is very sensitive so when i told her, she got very defensive and mad and hasn't talked to me since. This happened 2 years ago. Going without a mom is the hardest thing I have ever been through. My mom and dad got divorced when i was 2 years old. Living with my grandparents is not the best thing in the world but it's not the worst. I just don't know what to do anymore...
I strongly recommend you look into some traditional martial arts like Aikido and Karate. There are different schools of both, some are very soft and ineffective, others are harder and more effective. You will not be able to defend yourself immediately.
But school is about to end for you, you will go to college or go find a job. The scars of bullying will remain in your psyche, those scenarios will play in your head over and over, and only a traditional martial art can cure them.
Also in long-term this training will make you learn how to dissolve conflicts without either attacking someone, or letting them attack you.
That's my intrusive opinion based on personal experience.
I don't know if I can be much help, but I know that it's nice having people to talk to you and make that extra effort when you really need it. So all I can say is that I'm really sorry that you are feeling this way, no one should! You are probably really awesome and you should have people to talk too.
(Sorry if this sucked or was offensive. Also sorry for my constant apologising, I can't seem to stop myself)
Please don't loose hope, let me say this when feeling depress just think of all the people that have less than you. That you are still lucky compare to someone your age that grew up not knowing or having a parent at all. What about a person born with disability like blind or missing body parts. You see honey you are lucky and blessed after all. Enjoy your life and love yourself . Try to be happy
