As a freshman, I feel like no one understands me. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I am a girl in the first year of junior high school. I know I have a strange personality: I don't like to talk and I am quite introverted. No one likes me and I don't have any friends. My grades are just so-so. I had a conflict with a classmate before and I don't want to see that person again. I don't want to go back to school. I hate going to school. I feel like everyone doesn't like me. I don't want to stay in school, but there is no place for me at home either.

My parents are divorced, and I now live with my father in Shenzhen. I want to have my own room, but so far I still live in the same room as my father, sleeping in bunk beds. I feel so tired, and I feel that my father cannot understand me. I want to go back to Fujian and live with my grandmother. In the past, it was my grandmother who took care of me, and I also have a lot of friends in Fujian. I have secretly taken a bus back there before, but my father brought me back to Shenzhen. He simply doesn't listen to me, and he doesn't understand me at all.

What should I do? I don't want to be in so much pain.

I can relate to feeling different from others, and it's really tough when you feel misunderstood. It sounds like you're carrying a lot on your shoulders. Maybe talking to a counselor at school could help? They might be able to offer some support and guidance.

It's heartbreaking to feel isolated and not accepted by your peers. I understand that going back to Fujian feels like an escape, but have you considered expressing your feelings to your father in a calm moment? Sometimes adults need a clear conversation to understand what we need.

Frederick Jackson A teacher's love for teaching is a flame that never fades and warms students' learning spirits.

Feeling unheard is so frustrating, especially by the people closest to us. Have you thought about writing a letter to your dad explaining how you feel? It might be easier for him to understand if he can read your thoughts without interruptions or emotions getting in the way.

School can be such a hard place when you're struggling with friendships and family issues. It might help to find a hobby or activity outside of school where you can meet new people who share similar interests. This could give you a break from the usual environment and maybe even boost your spirits.
