Sounds like things have been very difficult for you for quite some time. I am reminded of some advice I once heard from a very wise friend who said, "It just doesn't have to be this hard." It seems like you are "just getting by" and are enjoying little about school and friendships. You CAN get more out of your experiences at school, but I suspect that you will have to try some new, and sometimes hard, things.
I agree with the folks at Boys Town. It is wonderful that you are reaching out, and I think that you may need to do more of this for your situation to truly improve. I know it seems scary and/or impossible to talk with your parents and/or a counselor at school about your feelings. I imagine you worry that they may "freak out", laugh, or get angry. But, I can assure you that talking with others about your feelings can be a relief, reassuring, and, well, therapeutic. As a therapist working with children and adolescents for many years, I have seen the healing effects of talking to someone for many struggling children and teens just like you. So, please consider reaching out to your parents and/or the school counselor, but if you don't feel comfortable doing that quite yet, give the folks at Boys Town a call. They can provide some wonderful support for you during tough times.
Take care and keep us posted. We're pulling for you!

Everyone is right, it is good getting help from someone. I went through the same thing in school. I got into a fight with my best friend and she started rumors about me. It got to me too. I didn't even want to go to school or leave my house. I talked to the counselor and my mom. They both said not to let it get to you so I tried it. It worked, it took a little bit of time but it did work. I just smiled like I didn't care whatsoever and held my head up. I tried to be strong as I possibly could even though it hurt. They realized that they wasn't getting to me and they stopped. You know your better than that and it doesn't matter what other people think. Keep writing and listening to music and most of all be strong. Don't let them know they are getting to you.
