I officially hate gym class. I hate most of my classes but I looked forward to Fridays because dodgeball Fridays.

There's this group of people in my gym class, and another slowly trying to merge. I would be fine with it, but now the original group I was in, the first one, all my friends in that group don't talk to me. And the group they are merging with happens to be a sort of popular group, and for some reason, they hate me. I was trying to scare one of my friends, because that's what I do to get the day going (they all laugh in the end and we talk about it in a joking matter) and the one girl from the popular group opens a door in my face, nearly busts my lip, and doesn't say sorry.

I don't even know why they hate me. I mean, I'm not athletic in anyway (unless dance counts) and I can't do the running we have to do every Wednesday. I try, but I can't do it. I don't know why they don't like me. Its just, strange I guess. But they honestly do dislike me. On Monday, I did a side face plant onto the floor, everyone laughed and laughed, only the gym teacher and some dude I don't know the name of came over and asked if I was okay.

I don't know if this qualifies as in need of comforting, but it just makes me feel disappointed that I'm not better, or thinner, or prettier because I'm always judged for that. I just need a bit of comfort right now.

Hey hey, you don't need to be all of those things <3 just be yourself. And if they are bullying you, harassing you, or just plain being rude tell the principal, vice principal, or guidance counselor. If your friends laughed too, then they aren't true friends <3 *hugs* i hope everything gets better for you

Thank you so much, reading that made me feel a whole lot better.

Why
I'm a horrible dancer
I've been taking dance practically all my life
All I want to do is quit
I can't look at myself and just say "you're beautiful" anymore
I barely have any friends, I spend most of my time online to talk to my best friends
I am pretty sure I've had a panic attack awhile ago
I'm tearing up but I'm not shedding tears
I'm broken inside but everyone sees me as strong as a brick wall
I'm silent, and it's tearing me apart inside
I told myself I'm horrible I did
I surround myself with characters that'll never be real
I made another planet so I could imagine freely there

Nobody has to respond to this, it doesn't matter
I'm just a girl who is living in a fantasy, trying to create walls so people can't break me down more

wow...that hurts...
i don't understand it anymore. why i get test anxiety, why i complain to her of all people, why i vent to anyone, because i just get hurt every single time. she always says that she'll do worse, that i'm fine, that i'm smart, that i shouldn't worry. and that shouldn't hurt, but it does. so much.
the thing is, she seemed so distant on the way home, and i was starting to shake a little with anxiety just because i was so scared that i hurt her, but i couldn't help sighing and saying the test didn't go so well when her mother brought it up, and it went downhill from there. she snapped at me when i tried to reassure her, the only way i know how. i just don't get what she doesn't see in herself and why she so adamantly tells me i shouldn't ever worry about tests. i don't get why i don't say anything, or whether i even should, because she gives at least a shred of care about me, i know it. i hate it when she gets mad at me, i already miss her so much. i don't know if she even knows she's hurting me by saying those things, because she's such an inherently nice person in any other situation. i miss her so much it's pathetic, and i really don't want to be upset with her but i kinda am. i don't know who's doing who wrong.

(i know i wrote this super vaguely, i'm sorry. my best friend just...said something that really hurt my feelings, and i don't know if i'm right in being hurt or whether i should just forgive her, because i rely on her so much and care about her more than anyone else. she's so sweet and friendly most of the time, it hurts so much worse when she gets so distant and cross)

the only thing I'm proud of makes me feel bad about myself. In art, I try SO HARD. I do my best on my drawings, finish them and think they look great. I look at everybody else's drawings, theirs are so much better than mine. I guess I'm not as good at drawing as I thought I was. I have no talent.

Just like everyones thumbprint is different, so is art. You are as talented as everyone else. Your just using your talent in a different way. Looking at other peoples art can be discouraging, but yours is definitely beautiful also. You will bloom in your art skills if you believe yourself. I know. I just began art school. You can do it!
I believe in you!

Maybe it shouldn't hurt me so, so much when people choose everyone else over me, but it does.
And it's happening again.
I thought everything was getting better. I was working be better, to be more likable.
And you know what? The issue isn't that no one likes me. People generally think of me in a positive manner, I guess. No one really hates me, because I don't do anything to bother people.
The issue is, that no one really cares about me. They'll work with me on a project or talk to me if they have to, but no one tries to work with me or talk with me. No one chooses me unless they have to.
Heck, half the time I know I'm being used by someone. And I go along with it, because I don't have anywhere else to turn.
And now a close friend of mine is picking everyone and everything else over me, and it sort of hurts.
Am I not interesting enough to have as a friend? Is everyone else better? Am I distant? Uncaring? Boring? Not funny? Or am I just not good enough to be liked.

On top of that, my English class is really bothering me.
I am a catholic, and very proud of my religion. I cannot claim to agree with every word that is said, and in fact I disagree with some teachings and doctrines. But overall, I love my church. The people in that community have been there with me through it all, from when I was suffering a disease that crippled me to when my team won the state competition to when my mother and I, still in shock from the loss of my grandmother, were crying in the pews.
And my English class has started reading every single text as something anti-Catholic. They are literally making connections that are not there and twisting evidence to say that my religion is bad or wrong in some way. Particularly, they are attacking priests. As a former alter server who served for daily masses, bishops, and archbishops, I know the priests of my parish very well, and they are some of the most amazing people I know. I can't even describe how hard it is to sit there and listen my class try to justify that the novel is saying that the only good priest is a dead priest, when I am so close to so many amazing priests.
The novel doesn't even hint at most of the things they are saying by any means. They are literally looking for details that justify their anti-catholic ideas, and then don't shut up about them.
Part of the class is graded on participation. As I have been heavily picked on and attacked by people in that class before for having a different opinion than them, I can't speak up at all. It sounds dumb, but I'm paralyzed. I can't speak up for the religion and the people that mean so much to me, and I'm losing points over it.
It's stressing me out so much. I don't even know what to do, how to get through this. We've only started the collection that we're reading, so I know that there's so much more to come...

i can't do this anymore...

Hey guys...
Today I was told that my crush, who knows I like him, was going to ask my best friend how to write a love song. For someone else... So I'm pretty bummed out about that.

Honestly, if you can, work by yourself. It's much more faster and effective. And if they don't want you, their loss. You're probably safer alone though, maybe try to work with people you know won't use you. Try hanging out with them too but if that fails then just spend more time to yourself. You'll find you'll have a lot more time to finish homework, draw, play video games, just do whatever you want.

As for the religion, I understand but I'm completely opposite. I'm an atheist (it's nothing against your religion, just what works for me) but in school we have to read these papers saying atheists deserve no rights. And what's happening to you happened at my old school. The best thing to do is talk about this with a teacher. Just go in during lunch/recess or send them an email and say that you understand that it is classroom work but you find it very uncomfortable and offended . If you go to Catholic school tell your principal, it's catholic school, you aren't supposed to read stuff like that. If you're in public school I'm prettyyy sure this is on the border. Actually, since they're teasing you and you're loosing points over this, if the teacher won't listen you might wanna bring in the principal. This isn't an unusual thing though, a lot of times people forget that there are more beliefs then theirs and people can be defensive of their religion so if you ever feel like it's just you remember it's not your fault, it's the teacher's. In fact both of the paragraphs, it's not your fault, it's theirs. If they won't treat you right they don't deserve to know you.
