The Pain of Social Isolation

The same psychologist offered a life raft of sorts to my very sad child. He drew the shape of a trumpet horn on a sheet of paper. The narrowest portion of the horn, he explained, represented middle school, a time when variations of “normal” behavior are not tolerated by peers. The expanding horn represented the high school years, when differences are a little more accepted, finally opening wide in young adulthood, when there is a lot more room to be different.

But, in your case, you're having trouble even speaking to the adults in your life. Yes, finding someone with whom you could really talk would be good for you. Is there a place besides school and home where you could look?
