Babytink, I'm going to give you one of my favorites quotes. Think about it, and perhaps it will help.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleonor Roosevelt

babytink: When they make fun of you, turn your head. Pretend like you don't care. But pretend damn good, or it won't work. Instruments are nice. ( I once played the clarinette, then gave up when my cousin got more attention than I did, but that's alright. I have a talent she'll never have: writing. ) Also, you could find an activity out of school that gets your mind off of the people there, like swimming, hiking, biking, writing. How old are you? When I was in high school, I joined an orchestra out of school. It was the best experience ever. I still love Shaker Fantasia. You'll get great memories from it, ones seperate from school.

Okay listen I haev been physically abused for about 4 years and I am severly depressed. On top of all of that I feel like shit. I feel like veryone hates me bccause me dad walked out of my life and people that used to be my friends are now my enemies. They are backstabbing me. People in my class are influencing and instigating this situation. I am highly depressed and everyday it gets worse. I mean I play an instrument and if I didn't I probably already killed myself. TO be honest i feel like no one likes me and th whole world is against me. I don't know what to do. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
