I can’t fit in at school, what should I do?

[ArabianHorseJack]

I’m in 8th and apparently thats the worst year for some people, but it’s been like this since the middle of last year. When i was younger, i acted like a horse, (I don't know why) but somehow people remember it. I have no idea if that is affecting this or not. I’ve had a tough time cause my dad has been in and out of the hospital and my mom has been stressed out, so i have had stress and i’m just emotionally drained and exhausted from it. The last thing i need is to feel like i have no one and i honestly don’t. The 8th grade girls were rude last year and haven’t matured and the boys have just been more annoying. I’m now a quieter person than i was and i’ve been at this school for 10 years with two people i’ve know for 10 years. it’s really affecting how i feel when i get home and it just sucks because i feel like i’m a good person but I don't know if i need to step up my game or just move schools to get away and start new elsewhere. I’m open to do anything, but i just can’t seem to figure out how to fit in.

find hobbies that make you happy and they in turn will help you cope. does your school have groups/clubs or anything that would interest you? maybe you can start a club at school-- for others in the same place as you, make up some flyers pass them around. changing schools is a toss up because in the end, that old saying wherever you go there you are. but if you feel like you would benefit from the change in scenery then do it. hang in there, this is only temporary

It would be easy too tell you that this too will pass which it will but that doesn't help you very much with how you're feeling. My advice is to look for some type of club outside of school that way you meet other people that you don't have to see in school. Whatever you love doing there is a club for you too join. The great thing about this is you won't be seeing any of these kids that are acting rude too you giving you a break from the stress they are causing you. I wish you all the best. 😊

Don't worry about fitting in at school. You are leaving those losers eventually anyway. If they can't accept you for yourself then they aren't worth your time. I know it seems important now. But I don't talk to anyone I went to middle school with and honestly I am not disappointed.
