You don't have to be like everyone else. You could be gifted or talented in a certain field that makes you stand out.

I always felt weird in School, first for being Asperger's, then for being gifted, and then for being Christian. God calls many out of the World's way of thinking, but few respond. If you turn away from Sin and admit your Sins to God and as forgiveness for them through Jesus Christ, God will forgive you and you will be saved. Jesus Died so you could Live. He rose again to vindicate you. Please seek the Lord while He may be found.

John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Acts 4: 10 - 12
(10) let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.(11) This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ (12) Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

One big mistake here, you are trying to change who you are. NEVER do this, you will loose yourself and gain nothing. Instead embrace who you are, find people who value you for it. It will bring you much more value in the long run. Yes, school is a super toxic place. Yes, school is rough in general. But remaining yourself is a good thing because we need people like you who dare to be themselves. The world has far to many people sacrefising everything to fit in. Who all end up deeply unhappy because they are not themselves. They are chasing someone elses ideal, and then end up deeply depressed. When you follow yourself even when times get rough, you can at least be proud of who you are. And if you ever wonder who you should be, imagine who you would love to be, and strive to be that!

because you're different than everyone, and so am I... and everyone else is too. We are all universes of our own, but we also have layers as to who we are. So, our perception of everyone and who they are can change, or can be seen as more or less, even the "same"
chaging to something you don't feel you are would not make things better, so don't change... unless it is something bad that is hurting you and/or others, then that should change.
it could also be that you know yourself very well already, and temporarily, others around you do not express much of their uniqueness but rather go by the trends or what is popular at the moment, this is alright. Do not stress too much about these things.

I’m sorry your having a tough time and I promise I’m not making light of your pain... but every teenager feels like that at some point. It’s a very difficult time.
talk to a friend, talk to a parent, talk to a therapist... talk to anyone. Just don’t keep your thoughts and feelings bottled up. Trust me that life makes more sense as you get older and your emotions won’t be as overwhelming.

That's something to be proud of if you ask me. Going against the grain isn't always a bad thing.

I don't know about you but I am a firm believer that the only person you can truly trust with every cell in your body at the end of the day is yourself. Not that you shouldn't give others a basic level of trust but as long as you have yourself, you will always be in control of your own life.

Welcome to growing up - everybody and I mean EVERYBODY feels as you do now at least one in their lives.
Everyone is just like you, but they may hide the uncertainty better, but believe me they are feeling it just as confused as you are, this will get better over time but there is no magic cure.

You need to accept yourself. Love the parts of you that you like the most and accept the parts you don't like, but can't change. Most people fail to master this util 18. If you succeed you will be more mature. I was 15 when I did this, and wished I learned how sooner.

Keep doing and thinking what you feel that it's 'right'. There's no need to copy others. Actually... 'they' are like you, but just in a different way :)

I bet more than half the kids you go to school with feel the same way. I know I did way back when. Actually I still do.

We all feel different at 13. In the wild its called leaving the nest. But trust me, focus on what you like doing and not what you think others would like you to do.

You just have a different view of the world that everyone else. You may just be a rare person, and that's not a bad thing.

Be yourself. Be true to yourself. And let others be themselves too. It's okay to be different. But the world is a big place. Maybe there are others like you out there.
