Abeer, you obviously have something going in your favor -- intelligence and a good work ethic. You would not have made it into medical school without those two assets.

As I read your opening post, it came to my mind that perhaps you have fallen in with a group of friends who are not people of deep character and kindness. That's something that happens here in the USA. Some people will act friendly, but at heart they are Mean Girls and Mean Guys who enjoy tormenting others. Perhaps you are one of the people they have chosen to torment.

Are you so lonely for friends that you feel your life is improved by hanging out with people who treat you badly? Or would you be better off pulling away from them, concentrating on your studies and work for a while, letting your hurt feelings settle down, and then perhaps looking around for new friends who are as serious, hardworking and intelligent as yourself?

If you decide to distance yourself from the people who are bullying and tormenting you, you could use what free time you have to work on building your self-esteem, as Pegasus suggested, so that when you make new friends you will know in your heart you are worthy of being treated well.

Remember, you are an intelligent and hardworking young woman who can learn knew ways of acting and reacting. Give yourself some time to learn those new ways and perhaps your life and your feelings about yourself will improve.

I wish you the best of good fortune.
