I’ve always felt like an outsider. I am not like other teenagers; I just think I can’t relate to them. It would be nice to know if anyone out there feels the same? I can’t understand what they say. It’s like they are speaking another language.
I do talk to people my age, but sometimes I feel some teenagers now days are just trying to be stereotypes. I do feel like an outcast. I think if people just talked to me they would understand me. I am very shy so this might be why people do not talk to me much.
Being a teenager is hard I feel almost stuck between adult and being a child. I am a teenager but I act more childish than I should do for my age. I do not really look my age everyone tells me look really young for my age. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. But it is hard, every time I go into cinema they always ask me for my age, and I have to explain to them “I’m sorry I can’t help it if I look like a little kid!”
I’m doing A levels at the moment at college. I will not lie they are extremely difficult! I am not exactly the cleverest person. College is hard; it’s hard trying to make friends. Get good grades. Everything! Strange but my favourite part of college is getting there. I walk everyday to college with my sister. We live quite far away from college so it does take a long time to walk there. But it give us time to talk about whatever is on our minds, like our favourite films, books, music.
I don’t want to bore you with things about my life as I am sure your life is more interesting than mine. I suffer from dyslexia (a learning difficulty) and anyone who else who does will know trying to get a good education can be tricky. Does anyone else here also have or knows someone with dyslexia? Luckily I have a kind and clever twin sister to help me. Does anyone here have a twin? Being a twin is one of the best things in the world!
I’ve been thinking today, life is so hard. I’ve had quite a hard life. Which I will not really talk about as there is too much to explain. I will admit. Sometimes through the pain you start to wonder why I am here. There is not point in being around if no on cares. Through the years of extreme bulling I had as a child I wanted to give up. People made me feel ugly and ashamed of myself, made me feel as though I was worth nothing. I don’t understand why some people are so cruel?
If you have been bullied my advice would be…
Even though people tell you, you are a nobody. If some people laughed at you, do not let them break you down! Do not let other people stop your dreams. Just because you are bullied does not mean you can’t prove people wrong. Just because some people laugh at you, it does not mean you are any less human than others. Every time someone laughs at you or when someone gives me a cruel look. Let it make you stronger more determined to show them you are just as good as them. Everyone is equal.
I will not lie trying to be happy when you are being bullied is not easy. And no cheesy speeches are really going to make you feel much better. The truth is people can help you. But really you can only really help yourself. You have to think of what is your best qualities are like talents or best personality traits.
Write a list of all the things you are good at. Then you have to start believing in yourself. Yes it sounds cliché but it really does help.
Best of luck to anyone who is going through a similar situation!
