I think I'm going to fail French.
I can barely understand what the teacher says most of
the time and even though my reading comprehension is
okay, I still don't know so many things and I still don't
understand these things when spoken.

Welp.
Any tips, advice, etc?
I really want a good future, and I can't afford to fail French.

Everything that's been weighing down on me for the past few months finally came flooding back when I had an argument with my sister today that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I just broke down in the middle of a restaurant and started sobbing. I feel betrayed and alone. I want my friends back. I want someone to sit with at lunch again. I hate sitting at a different place every day. I want to go trick or treating with them, to go to the block party with them, but I wasn't invited. I want him and him and her and her and her back. I want someone to joke around with again. I want my life back. The ironic thing is even with everything gone, about a month ago I started feeling good. I started feeling strong and in control again. I always get this. Every year for a month before my birthday I get a huge high, then a terrible crash the week after my birthday, but the crash came early this year. Sunday is supposed to be an awesome day for me that I'm supposed to be excited for and laugh and hang out with friends and have a party.
But there will be no party. There will be no laughing nor joy. There will be no friends and there will be no celebration. There will be only me, alone, surrounded by gifts when the only thing I want is my old life back.
My remaining friends don't even want to spend halloween with me. They planned their outfits to match and I didn't, so they said I'll ruin it... I'll probably end up sitting at home wearing my costume that I spent so much time on and wallow in self pity.
I just want to be happy.

I have been good friends with this girl named ' E '. I introduced her to my other friend ' Is '. They started talking together. A lot. And they had lots of similar interests, and I'm cool with that. It's just whenever I try to greet E, she just kinda brushes me off, and starts talking to Is again. The only chance I get to see E, is when she's with my no longer friend more of acquaintance, Is. Whenever I try to talk to them, they brush me away, and continue on their pointless conversation like I wasn't even there. I used to be really good friends with her, and now she's shooing me away like a fly, talking to an acquaintance who I introduced to her? I want to be friends with her again, because whenever I see her without Is around, she talks to me like regular old times. I don't know what's the deal, but it seems as if she would prefer Is over me any day. ( And it doesn't help when my other friend is doing this too. ) And yes I know that I'm not their only friend, but they see their other friends all the time, more than they see me, and they don't even greet me in the hallway when I PHYICALLY TAP THEIR SHOULDER, and say ' hi '. I'm antisocial, but when it comes to friends, I will will do whatever it takes just to say hi to them.

Just... Ehhhhh xc

I need a hug :c

This week has just been me sobbing alone with no comfort. I've told people I've been feeling horrible and they all shrug it off- I tell my mom about my insecurities and she basically tries to make them worse by telling me I have no friends and she hopes i grow up alone. None of my friends notice how depressed I've been lately and then they claim "oh no I'm stressed out you can't blame ME for not being there for you!!"
I don't know what to do
I hate everything atm

I have found a recent interest in a card game called Magic: The Gathering. It's pretty popular, and kind of an advanced version of Pokémon. Anyways, I was explaining it to mom, but she finds my sorcery card and makes a huge deal out of it. She wanted to burn my cards in a fire. She's freaking out because apparently sorcery is of the devil. She accused me of my views being "off the charts" due to other happenings with me questioning my sexuality. She said I was satanic and a shameful child. I can't have an interest in anything or have a decent conversation with her because she always shoots me down like this. At least dad is okay with Magic, he promised that my cards wouldn't be burned. At least he has my back. I just wish my mom supported my interests too.

There are some occult things to avoid, but your cards sound harmless. Coming from a Christian, she overreacted.
How does she think she's going to communicate with you if she needs to talk to you about something serious if she keeps acting this way?

M-my boyfriend broke up with me
I wanted to ask another guy, who i think is really cute
But apparently he has a girlfriend, a girl who I don't hate but don't like much
I'm really depressed now because i know I have no future with any guys
No guys like me at my school
I am about to cry...
I feel like a total wreck

I know this sounds weird but I have these friends who won't shut up about something, not gonna say what though because then I know people will probably do the same thing they do to me. But you see, it's one of their favorite topics, in fact they hate on people with my ____ occasionally. (though it's lessened since I told them I was one of the people they were insulting) They keep talking about once having the same _____ as me then switching. They also talk about converting people like me too. It makes me super uncomfortable and I tell them that a lot but they keep continuing. I'm getting nervous because they keep acting like they wanna convert me and if I tell them why I act the way I do then I know they'll try to force me to switch. They also kinda act like since I'm not exactly like them I've never been bullied in my entire life when that's the whole reason why I switched schools. I'm not allowed to switch tables and the guidance counselor didn't really care. I don't mind them talking about this topic I just wish they wouldn't act like I have to agree and that my life is rainbows and puppy dogs since I'm not like them, I don't like hearing hate on my ___ , yea some of us are jerks but not all of us, I don't like being told I'll change my mind, it's my decision not theirs, I don't like being afraid of them forcing their ideas onto me.

this isn't really a comfort needing kind of post but im not sure where else to put it. if this isn't the right place, then please pm me and ill remove it, but provide me with other forums where i could post this.

here's a scenario that has occurred before and id like to know the proper way to handle it if it comes up again, ill use simple names for convenience:

bob: hey joe, what'd you get on that assignment?
joe: oh, i got a hundred percent/*and or shows paper to bob*. what'd you get bob?
*bob slouches a bit in his seat and whatnot, embarrassed*
bob: not that great *mumbles and doesn't show paper/shows paper*

etc, etc. every scenario will not play out the same exact as this, but you get the point. how should joe respond to bob when he see's his score and its, well.. terrible? should joe say "aww, better luck next time!" or "you still did great!" im not thinking thats right. id like to know what other people here think joe should say to bob that kind of brings bobs spirit up. if:

joe: "you did great though!"
bob: "im a fail.."

basically the same thing as before but if bob keeps putting himself down, what should joe do? any advice on anything joe should say to bob would be great. (and if you didn't already know, these are fake names but this could be a real scenario and im seeking advice on it should be solved).
