Happy happy happy happy women's day?

I was bullied in school weekly to the point of tears, threatening suicide and doing everything I could at home to get punished or kicked out of the house. I didn't get kicked out and they wouldn't switch schools. The girls at school were so mean that I made every excuse to get out.

This was the 90's when it was routine to say "ignore it and it goes away. Now go back to class." So I understand in a way what total hoplessness, anxiety, pressure, and being ignored feels like.

It sucks. When you focus more on what you can do for you when others won't step up- it's amazing the amount of anxiety goes away. I found outlets and things I was good at to do that.

If it was me, I'd: Get some armband things or sleep in a long sleeve shirt. You don't want to scar up your wrist and you know you're prone to scratch it. Who cares about 'X'.

People are who they really are when no one is judging. I'm sure you brought it up because you thought you knew her and she proved you didn't and it hurt a bit. Also when you refuse to hang out after school all the time you are punishing yourself in a way.

You need time to relax, lose the pressure and just do nothing sometimes with other people. Don't train yourself to be antisocial. It will make any work social function you have as an adult harder to endure even when your job depends on attending.

With your mom, when people can't love you, support you or help you in a way you expect - it hurts. Once you've tried talking to them twice, find other ways to get what you need that are a positive form of that in your life. It's not your job to parent you, but sometimes it happens and makes you stronger.

Don't think that 20 years from now your mother won't look back on these days with the 'what if I had done this or that differently or I should have' thoughts. We all do that. Glasses, did you know your school nurse is a medical professional that didn't just show up as a nurse.

My sister is an RN and has many medical contacts. Perhaps you should talk to the school about your glasses. If you present it in a way that doesn't hurt your mom's feelings she probably won't get upset by it.

I'd say' Hey. I keep telling her I need glasses and she is putting it off. Perhaps she is afraid she can't afford it and doesn't want to tell me.

Do you know of any low cost options that I could offer her that might change her mind?" . Sometimes you don't know what you need to know until you ask. Obviously the nurse doesn't work for an optometrist but some of them know each other through medical networks.

She might be able to at least tell you where to go check it out. You can price check without an adult, you just can't get yourself serviced by them without consent. Stop freaking out about college.

Unless you fail, community college will take about anyone. You can always do your best - get good grades and transfer out somewhere better if community college wasn't your first choice. I know people that went to prestigious colleges that act like idiots and graduates of community colleges that make more money than them it all depends what you do with it.

Unless your going to be a doctor, a lawyer or a science major - the name of the college isn't as big as some push it to be. Stop comparing yourself to TV. Most of them are people who aren't important 10 years later and they have constant tutors if they are teens and someone who tells them what to wear, what to say, who to talk to and it's a very controlled life.

That is why most of them end up drinking and doing drugs. They are unhappy. Good luck.

I also have suffered from depression and I wanted to say you have made a major improvement with losing. Weight and getting some friends. Why not try make some different friends or find a hobby, something to make you happy.

I really could keep writting for hours but I am. On my phone. But I hope your feeling better soon your an amazing woman:).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
