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.

hey.

first off, welcome to the forum!. I hope that it is helpful for you (their is a lot of support here, I think you'll like it)

regarding your problems at school, could you speak to your teachers about possibly helping out with your work, or giving you more time to do it

talk to councelors about how you feel and how you are being treated

if possible, try to find 1 or 2 people in the school (students), who will be your friend.

you don't have to be friends with everyone their. a few really good friends is a lot better than a lot of fake friends, and if you can do that, try to stick with them and get ideas from them to help you

again, welcome

Hey Thanks for the welcoming.

The problem with my work is I won't really care to do it/I won't be in the mood for it until I really solve this problem for myself.

I feel like talking to counselors is not gonna help me since when my class sees me going there they're just gonna press me even harder.

I have a few from the neighborhood and we've been friends for a long time and that's helping me but I'm only hanging out for 10% of the time with them while 90% of the time I'm with my classmates.
The problem's really in my class,school gets me tensed up and makes making friends even tougher for me.

I just don't know what to do since everything i try just fails.
If I keep quiet,they will mock me.
If I say anything or even answer a question,they will mock me.
Just feels like a dead end

Anyway thanks for the welcome again,appreciate it.

Is there no way of seeing a counsellor confidentially?
It may be your best hope of getting some ways to cope more easily.
Every on is probably telling you that your future is at stake, but it seriously is.

Welcome to PC anyway and I hope you find some support here.
We're here for each other.
