Why do you feel inferior?

You need to turn your lights on and open the window for a change. That dark ass romm isn;t helping anything. Go turn it on right now.

These little sentences aren't cutting it. How are your parents/guardians?

Respect yourself, and others will respect you.
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

I'll see what I can say.

Well, ok let me start off by saying stop being depressed. Because honestly (not to be harsh or anything) I don't think you have a reason for being depressed, maybe if you had family dying because they are fighting across the world.
But that is still not reason to hurt yourself, it just makes you look stupid.
I mean yes, being a HS dropout may seem bad, but it's not the end of the world. You can still do so much. There are so many options, get a job, or even better start your own job, a e-business to be exact. Even though it takes a lot of planning it's worth it in the end. If you want to try your chances at education again, move to a new school, home school, night school, private school, online school, there are so MANY options; so don't give up because you still have a shot. =/

And just because people make fun of you, you don't have to listen to them. They are just judgmental and ignorant. A simple way is to ignore it. If you show that you actually care about what other people say, they will most likely make fun of you more than they already do. The best thing to do is just ignore it. You just need to respect yourself and your beliefs, that's all that counts, other people's opinions don't matter because it's your individuality.

Live your life to it's fullest, yeah maybe you can't go anywhere or get out of the house or anything. But try and create something, get a hobby, draw, sew, make music, go outside and be happy that you were able to wake up and see another day. There is so much that you can do, and instead of thinking about how suckish your life seems, think about the little possibility of the happiness that's out there.

And no one is ever alone, you can feel alone, but your not alone. I mean, if you were really alone you wouldn't be talking to us and we wouldn't be trying to help you. And maybe your just not good at being social, but that's ok. If you try (not too hard) you can make as many friends as you want. Don't try to be someone your not, or try to make friends that will end up drifting away. Meet people that you know you can trust and express your feelings with, and truly understand how you feel. I know it's hard but, you at least have to try, try to hang out with the good crowd. ;D

And last but not least, have some self confidence, your are NOT inferior to anyone, everyone is equal no matter how smart, strong, different, and etc. We are all human with individual personalities. You have your own, and you know who you are, accept that, and don't change. If your having problems at home, go to a councilor, someone that you can talk to about the situation. Even though it is uncomfortable, it sort of sets you free.

EDIT: You can do anything if you set your mind to it. ;D

That is the end of my rant. Yes, I probably sound stupid and it was long, but hey I tried. My friend has been through the same thing, and we were able to help her. So it was worth a shot. =F​
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

Actually that wasn't bad. Pretty good actually, if all of this doesn't help him then he is probably in denial or has some sort of condition that involves depression. Anyway if you don't mind me asking, would you happen to be emo? I mean if you are that could explain a lack of friends :/

guys im really proud on what you 2 said good karma for you definatly ;)
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

Do your parents not care at all? If you're cutting yourself, then your parents must not be very good, or just plain don't care. I really hate 'parents' like that. I really do.

Second, no counselor should advise dropping out of school. Changing schools, maybe, but certainly not dropping out. Try another school district; one with a competent counselor. Although, you're not giving us anything to go on. Calm down and let it out. Right there on your keyboard. You'll feel better afterward.
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

Actually you can feel inferior or depressed without having a reason for it, I think it's a disease (may be wrong but pretty sure), so first I'd tell you to go see a Doctor/Psychologist for that.

Second, possibly most important, there's no need to hurt yourself, cut yourself, or feel sorry for yourself. You did nothing wrong so there's no need to punish yourself.

Third, there quite a few alternatives that have already been listed instead of staying at that school. I'd advise enrolling yourself back in school, seeing your guidance counselor and asking for private lessons because of your anxiety. You could take online classes, but I honestly do think that you need to interact with someone.

Fourth, going back to psychologists you should see one whether you have a mental disease (not to sound mean but no better way of putting it) or not, as either way your sick (in my country they'd call depression sickness so take it like that) so you should seek counseling or at least someone to talk to. I'm sure there are various to help you interact with people similar to you.

I'd advise that as soon as possible, talk to your parents about it because sitting at home continuing this behavior is not going to do you good at. If you really want a job I'm sure you can schedule it in with school, but I think you should take finishing high school as a goal then after deciding if you would like to go to college or obtain a job. I feel like I should mention that if you do back to school and the bullies don't stop bullying you durring lunch that you should ask to eat in a seperate room (possibly your homeroom), but all that may be avoided by enlisting a teacher to come give you your lessons so that your still learning and getting at least your GED.

I hope I helped.
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

Well it may not be his parents problem if they don't know about it. I mean he hides in his room with the lights off cutting his wrists how could they know about it? Plus i doubt him running around telling everyone that he cuts his wrists, seriously he wakes up, "Hey mom did you know i cut my-self in my free time?"
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

No parent should ever allow their child to drop out of school without knowing the reason why. nor could they not have knowledge of it. I'm sure he comes out of his room eventually and cuts on the wrists are not the easiest thing to hide either (unless he has a zillion long sleeve shirts)
 
^
Actually, I'm pretty sure that you can't drop out unless you have parent permission and your of the age of 18. But I don't know if that applies to all states. But, like you said lilsparks, a parent should never let their child drop out; unless there is a legitimate reason for doing so.​
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

The more I think about it he's almost definetly suffering from Clinical Depression. In adults most of the symptoms include depressions, while children are usually extra irratable. Since he's a teenager it's probably a mix of the two explaining the loss of interest in school, low morale, low self worth, and feeling guilty for no apparent reason (which is hinted by him ignoring the specifics). So now I emphasize seeing a psychologist, psychiatrist.
---
EDIT: Did not see that when I posted this. If you know you have Clinical Depression and IED, then why did you make this thread, it's pointless. Go back to school and work something out with your Guidance Counselor (since now I understand why she told you to drop out of school) so that you may do private lessons. Now I advise you to stay away from the kids who would make fun of someone who's sick, as they can only make you feel worse.

You are not inferior. You made a thread, listing what you saw as problems and people from around the world offered their advice. You are valued. You made progress by admitting your feelings. Now you need to take it further. You need to talk to someone, preferably a trained professional. Until then, get out of your room, go for a walk, feel the sun on your face, interact with people. And remember you are not alone because you have friends at Pokebeach.
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

And for anyone wondering he cuts himself because of the IED disorder (which makes him extra angry to a point where he'll commit violent acts that the situation did not call for). If you had said this from the beginning the whole conversation would be different. If you know that you have these diseases then why don't you take the appropriate medication for them?

EDIT: That disease is also the reason for his Anti-Social behavior iirc

EDIT2: His diseases are probably why his parents allowed him to drop out of school, and why his parents don't attempt to stop him from cutting himself (because they can't).

For the rest of you who were like me and never heard of it.

RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

I remember when I was a teen and was suffering from depression, I too had thoughts of cutting. But was diagnosed and but on some meds and have been off ever since I met my girlfriend. Should I have taken myself off, no, but I felt it was the right time. Never felt better.

What you're lacking currently is something that will keep you motivated. I too loss interest in school, but it was because everything they were teaching me, I already knew. And they wouldn't put me in excelled classes because I was failing due to lack of effort on my homework. I didnt do any homework but pass my tests with flying teachers, yet they thought I was stupid. I too didn't have many friends, I had like maybe 5-10 friends, but if you think you don't have friends know, wait till school is done with for all of them. Then you know who your true friends are, I think I have like idk, maybe 3-4 really close friends, and thats all i need. You just need to sit down and think about what positives you have. Life throws you lemons, you just need to turn them into lemonade, chase life down then pin it to the ground. Pour the lemonade in its eyes and say "Ya, how do you like that you lemon throwing *****"
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

^^Best advice all thread. I'd listen to him, as he's right you have to deal with it and keep moving on.
 
RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

Infernape, I'm glad you had the guts to talk to your counselor about your feelings. It's insane that this person would advise you to drop out of school! That is absolutely ridiculous. Ignore the teacher, that person is a loser who does not deserve that job.

Second of all, if you wanna make friends, GET OUT. I mean it. Get out of the house. Chill out with the people that think you're not that bad. The key here is to make sure you don't follow one kid around when you're socializing. Then, it gets weird. Start a a casual conversation. Be friendly, but not too friendly. It's great that you have a friend who is a girl. Now, meet her friends and expand.

That's difficult, though. MUCH easier said than done.

Thirdly, think positive. You have your pals at the Beach. You have PTCG tournaments you can go where people accept you. You have school. People in Africa would beg for an opportunity such as this one, so take it to the fullest extent. Be free. Be proud of who you are. I've learned to be polite and make a strong first impression. Speak seldomly, but make comments when necessary. God gave you two ears and one mouth. Listening > Speaking.

When I was bullied due to my race, (blech.), I said, "NO!" and went straight to the principal. Not the counselor, not the secretary, the head honcho. He/She should get work done for you. What happened? Those kids didn't bother me again. Hahaha! Who's laughing now?

Those other kids who laugh at you are evil people. Who has the heart to stand up and stop this? Are there Christians at your school? Talk to them.

If you wanna talk some more, PM me. I hope this situation gets better, because I'm sad for what happened to you. :(

RE: dropped outta high school now i feel like crud

do you know that 80-90% of people with clinical depression get over it by 20-30 years of age, and most people that have these types of depression's and mental problems gave it to themselves from family and school related stress. I ain't no saint i just studied alot of university level physiology in high school (I had alot of time on my hands). so there is always hope for you yet my pokemon loving friend and it's never to late to go back and retake high school, who knows you could make the next microsoft. cya

P.S. quote by a famous yet anonymous philosopher "irregardless of how much negativity this life possess we all have it in ourselves to do many great thing's and be many great people, for we pave our own road in life"

P.S.S. please don't call a mental and behavior disorder's diseases, its bad enough there called mental and behavior disorder's
