Hey everybody,hope everyone's feeling alright.

So I'm a 17 year old guy struggling with school "friends".

I have been having trouble with this my whole life,I'm always deliberately teased and others would either ignore me or just straight up mock me.

In elementary(7 years of education) I thought I just had as*hole friends.

But in middle school it happened again,and as I became more and more aware of it I got sadder and sadder.I got no respect from day 1 and I'm not getting any right now.

I did get a few friends but those were never really friends,only people that are different from the others,but they just get along with pretty much anyone really(I'm kinda jealous since that's someone I aspire to be but it just doesn't work out for me).

So the final blow was on the start of year 3(4 months back),my old class disbanded and we were torn in half,(there were 3 classes counting ours,half of us went to 1 class and half went to the other,because there was too few of us to make a class) and me and a few more school "friends" were moved to a new class.

So them and me started off on a new page in the new class,everyone started meeting new friends(even me for a little bit of time).And that's when it all started again,I started to get mocked by 2 guys(got a new nickname and sometimes I just look at them and see them pointing their fingers at me and just straight up laughing) and it really started hurting me.

At first it was just the 2 of them then a 3rd one ,then a 4th one and so on.
By now,nobody's respecting me and everyone is calling me that nickname which I hate.
And what's worst is,my old classmates fit in perfectly,they're even better friends with the new friends than me.

They're out there partying and having fun and just having a good time while I'm just that lame guy that gets stomped by everyone and it's really killing me inside.

And I'm pretty sure most of them are just tearing me apart for a laugh,not out of "tough love".

I've started skipping school and I'm performing really poorly with my studies,this is hampering me so much and I can't bear it anymore.

I really feel like there's no end to this and I will be mocked until end of my school days,and that really hurts me.

Please help me,I'm really depressed and I have no idea how to deal with this.
