View Full Version : Feeling rejected
genralsanders 09-09-06, 01:49 PM Ive just relized how rejected of a person that I am in school. Im never invited to any parties or really anything at all. It may be my last year of high school but im not enjoying it I just want to graduate and get the hell out of high school.
I only have a small group of friends (very small), and having only a few friends used to upset me and I used to try and be friends with everyone in the class. The more I used to try and be friends with other kids, the more of an idiot I looked, and none of them were ever going to be "real" friends.
Then I realised that I don't need loads of friends and that im happy with my small group. I don't need to try and be friends with them.

I am not a teen but I remember that highschool for me was a pain.. I had a small group of very close friends, but I too didn't do the whole party thing or hang out with cool people. When I got older (college age) I did the whole party scene and trust me, it wasn't worth it. You are better off without it. I run into those same people that were "cool" in highschool and realize how better off I am than them. They peaked in highschool and are still trying to relive it.
Just focus on yourself and be who you are and not try to be someone else. like boone said, the more you try to fit in, the less you will fit in.
Good luck to you
w.a.m.h. 09-09-06, 06:55 PM I know that high school can be tough. Hang in there. I was a bit of a loner so I do understand.
But college is a whole different world. It truly was the best time of my life. College students are not stuck in those cliques as they are in high school. And everyone is struggling to meet people those first few weeks. Things will get better. You are almost there.
Also, when I was a senior in high school a took a couple of classes at the local junior college. My high school allowed it if a student had a free period in high school.
The atmosphere at the college was so much different than at the high school and I loved it! All new people. Maybe you can look into that.
Starwarsgeek22 09-12-06, 08:13 PM I'm in Junior High, and I don't get invited to literally anything. My ADD and ADHD symptoms make the people around me think I am a retard. I get picked on a lot and people deliberatly try to physically harm me sometimes...just today I got whacked in the stomach by a volleyball as hard as the person could throw it. I still feel sick... Sometimes I even feel depressed, like I'm not good enough or can't do anything without messing it up. To ice the cake, I can't play sports really well, and I especially get picked on for that...:(
KFabulous 09-12-06, 09:07 PM Hey guys! High School is a hard time for everyone. Even the popular kids have a tough time. Kids can be so cruel. Sometimes people are rude out of jealousy, especially if you are great at something.
I look back at all of the popular kids who went to my high school and laugh. They are still up to the same things and most of them are losers.
Just remember that you don't need to change for anyone. As long as you know you are a wonderful, beautiful person, who cares what other people who don't know you think. As long as you have a good support system( a few close friends and family members) you will be just fine. What matters is what the people close to you think about you. Being popular is so overated. Trust me I know. Be true to yourself and do your thing and others will see how wonderful you really are. :)
Crazygirl79 09-13-06, 10:14 PM I know EXACTLY what you're going through my friend, and all you can do is just accept the situation and let's face it school's nearly over and you will make better friends in life, basically what everyone's said on here is pretty good advice.
I hope things get better for for you.

livinginchaos 09-13-06, 11:44 PM I recall having similar issues when I was in high school. It's not an easy place to be in.
One thing to think about:
Do you invite people to things? They might not be aware that you would like to be invited. One way to let them know is to have a party and invite them or just ask them to hang out. Hopefully they will reciprocate! :)

Master Rat 09-14-06, 02:27 AM Some food for thought.
How many people in Bill Gates class actually thought he was cool?
My very accurate guess would be Zero.
Bill Gates still is not cool, which makes him even more cool.
He developed a lifestyle which could get him invited anywhere by being who he was meant to be.
Most freindships are developed by the things you like to do, like hobbies or special projects of interrest. So by doing things you not only become more active which opens more social oppertunities, but you also become a more interresting as a person.
Spend time developing yourself as a person and let the world search you out for the great works you accomplish.
And if the above falls on deaf ears, listen to the audio book by Dale Carnegie
"How To Win Freinds and Influence People". He teaches the rules on exactly what you seek.
Good Luck,
Tom
genralsanders 09-21-06, 10:39 PM Its really not fun and sometimes I just want to run away. Im the center of everyone's jokes and all people have been doing for my 13 years of public education. I feel like a total retard and complety useless. I have not accomplished one thing in High School.

I'm not invited to any sophmore parties, but it doesn't bother me. Although, I don't get invited because I have really no friends in the 10th grade :p
They're all freshmen, but that's the way I like it :)
