You said my name like it was a bad thing... Like it was a mistake, like it wasn't supposed to be on there. You knew I was standing right near you. Your voice was disgusted! It was just a name on a chart! I didn't even know it was next to his! It was the dang class charter, with two class worth of names on there! There were barely any spots left so I just chose the one I could find!

Maybe my LIFE is a mistake...

You know what? Last grade, that lunch at Lunch Group, when we talked, and you told all of us you liked him. 'Oh, what's in this room stays in this room." No, you don't deserve to have your secrets kept. I thought you were cool, but you're just like the rest of those popular, snooty, don't-give-a-hoot about other people, care more about their looks than then their friends girls.

I need to calm down I cant

Hey, hey, it's okay. Just breath.
That's not the best way to go about this, is it? She treats you badly so you get to stoop just as low?
Spreading rumors about her (if thats what your intention is) will make it worse.
Try to ignore her.

I'll try to but when you're used to people just flat out ignoring you then they're acting like you're some sort of virus it's just... Ugh.

Well, if you know her well enough you can also try confronting her (gently) about it.
Even if you can't find any friends to surround yourself with, surround yourself with positive things.

i feel like i'll never be pretty, so many girls in my school are so pretty and they're in the same grade as me.. i know some people call me pretty but i know they're just saying that to make me feel better and they take pity on me. i hate my height too, i'm so short and last year, my guy friend said that when we're both seniors he'll be 6'0 and i'll be the same height and that people will think i'm a 6th grader. everything about me i'm self conscious about honestly. it doesn't help that i messed up my eyebrows because of my habit of pulling my eyebrows. trichotillomania is the worst honestly.

Some people think I'm in 3rd grade..
I believe your pretty, and no I'm not just taking pity on you. I have the same feelings, and it is slowly killing me.
I'm so sorry you feel this way ;-;

You know that we don't look the same to ourselves than to others?
We can never be the judges of our beauty, I've learned.

Gross
Ugly
Fat
Stupid
All these things and more I'm called...
apparently my boyfriend broke up with me :C
Some guys were calling me names today and I almost cried
I can't be myself without being put down
Can't talk in fear I'm too loud and I hate my voices sound
I wish I could just stay in my house and hide
away from everything

Do you actually believe what these people are telling you? Because you shouldn't. Who do they think they are to judge you like that when they don't even know you? And seriously? Boys calling you names? That's one of the stupidest things to be bothered by (not trying to be cruel in any sense of the word). Many boys, especially when they're younger, poke fun at other people, particularly girls, to get a good laugh or to impress their friends. It's the same concept when young kids take drugs. They want to look cool, but they just look stupid. And it honestly doesn't mean anything.
Don't let these boys get to you, they're not worth anything. And your voice is beautiful. I have the same issue with mine, because it's really high-pitched and I'm a sophomore. It may sound weird to you but anyone who's ever talked to you is used to your voice. They hear your voice differently than the way you hear it. I have honestly never met someone and thought, they have an ugly/annoying/stupid/etc. voice. Sure, I've been surprised by some people's voices, but it never lasts, and eventually I don't even notice it. Your voice is unique and lovely, and don't be afraid to use it.

I'm shocked right now. Realization struck me.
As stupid and ridiculous as it sounds, apparently my kindle is the only thing keeping me sane! Both two times it was taken away against my will, I completely flipped out.
The first time, I went into a flying rage and threw things everywhere, just mercilessly. I just felt this intense burning rage and I couldn't control myself - and boy, do I regret it. It caused me to blow my only opportunity, probably ever, to meet more people like me, with the same conditions. Every time I think of it, I just want to cry. Cry at how I failed, how I failed my parents, my family, my chance.
The second time wasn't much better. I went into a flying rage, again, and restored to... something which shouldn't be mention. I was about to drop my brother's laptop off the catwalk of the second story, until one of my brothers talked me out of it. At the last moment, he asked, "Do you want to go to foster care?"
In the enraged, furious, sad state I was in, I stared at him for a while, before I screamed "yes" and walked into my room. I proceeded to cry, and throw things, until suddenly, my nose began bleeding, and so much it stained the toilet - I was sitting over it - and went on for roughly 15 minutes (I never counted). Afterwards, I had a bad headache and felt nauseous, but nothing more.
I'm worried. I'm scared of myself. I'm worried what I'm capable of, and what my brother says is true - my family will grow to hate me.
I'm scared. I just want to curl up into a ball and cease to exist.
Not only that, but more and more symptoms of depression are showing up.
My stepfather practically hates me.
My family always tells me how lazy I am.
I had to remind my siblings about my birthday.
There's no point in doing anything because I know I will fail, I will fail the world, I will fail my friends, I will fail my family.
I don't know what to do...

Physical beauty is way overrated. Beauty is nothing if you don't have the personality to back it up. You can see really shy super pretty kids who don't have many friends because it's hard for them to make them, and you can see people who aren't physically attractive at all who have a bunch of friends. What I'm getting at basically is looking cute gets you no where in life, it won't make you friends or make you smarter, it won't get you a good job, or make you popular. There's so many other things than physical beauty that will get you so far in life, I don't know why you'd get so hung up over something like beauty, that will fade over time. As for your eyebrows, I'm sorry, but they grow back. I hope you find a way to manage the trichotillomania. It's really easy to over pluck your eyebrows and people do it all the time in my school, and complain about it, but honestly I can't even tell, and I doubt many others can too. You'll probably grow some more too, people have growth spurts until they're 18 and I'm sure the height difference between you two won't be so huge.
I don't think people aren't taking pity on you when they call you pretty, I'm sure they wouldn't even bring it up if they didn't think you were actually really pretty.



And could someone pm me please? I'd like some advice.

Mini rant;
Ugh! My school is so stupid sometimes. I am a homosexual, and only one person I know in real life knows this, (I think another one may know because of CS) And pretty much the rest of my friends are homophobic. It sickens me how you can judge someone by who they love. Today the youngest of my school were calling each other 'gay', as in insults. I have no idea how this is offensive? And just the other day me and my two friends were in an argument with this guy, and he called us 'gay'. According to my friends, he went way past the line. And while I tried to tell him homosexuality isn't an insult, he ignored me. Near the beginning of the year, my 'friend' who is a real jerk sometimes, was annoyed by me in physical education, so she said; "So you're a homosexual?" And me, being afraid of what would happen if she knew, just said 'Ok', smiled, then walked away.
Basically, I think insulting someone because of a sexuality is ridiculous and should stop, but I doubt that'll ever happen. I understand if you do not like the sexuality, but I mean.. keep it to yourself?

You don't need to reply, it's just something I wanted to write down. (:

I feel misplaced. I am so confused, it feels like I'm trying to walk through tar. I am stuck. I don't know who I am, or what I'm here for. I'm lost, I can't make friends because I'm a boy who looks like a girl. I don't bother trying to explain. They're scared of me. They don't want to know me. I don't want to know me. I feel like I haven't spent enough time on here comforting people. I'll never get enough C$ to get the new store pets. It's hopeless. I'm too scared to tell my parents or my therapist about the real me. I guess Tobi won't be able to be himself until I've moved out. I can't wait.
