I've been called many things by my own family, my best friends, the people who were closest to me. I switched to a new school, i got a fresh start, though it only got worse. I do better in school, but now my parents just judge me more. My mom doesn't understand she's the problem of my sadness. It really sucks... I got beat up by my best friend, i honestly don't know what to do. another thing is i used to get called fat. Now i'm really skinny, my doctor says its really unhealthy and if i lose even half an ounce, they're putting me in the hospital. Everything has happened to fast within the past 4 months. Has anything like this ever happened to any of you? Were you constantly judged by people so close to you? Did you ever try to change yourself for the better or simply because you didn't feel like you were good enough? I can't be the only one.

>>1 you aren't. I too am judged by many people and one day I got so fed up that I just didn't care anymore. People aren't worth changing for, be yourself and be the you that makes YOU happy, you don't have to prove anything to anyone.
Find better friends, that person definitely isn't a friend to you if they beat you up.
I hope this helps ^^

>>1You're in quite the situation there.
Sounds like there's a communication issue between you and your parents. Have a nice, long, calm talk with them or speak to a teacher/relative about it so they can help convey your concerns. If it gets too bad, try to see a counsellor so you and your parents can work through it together with a bit of extra aid.
Not sure why your friend beat you up (though I'm reluctant to call them much of a friend), but you should definitely speak up about that. Bullying is serious business, especially when physical violence is involved. I can't tell you exactly who to speak to since I'm unsure of the details, though. Just don't let them get away with being a violent douchebag.
I can't help much with the weight problem as you haven't provided much information on it, but let me tell you that you really do not want to go to hospital for that kind of thing. Try to eat and live healthily otherwise, and keep your head up. From what I've gathered, you're somewhere in the midst of adolescence - it's a rough time for most people. But things really do get better eventually.

I'm not really the best person to answer your questions, though. I think I'll leave that for other members to talk about. But I'll go with what Neko said: be the person you want to be, not what others want you to be.

I have a similiar situation, but I try change my mind, I think I can be better person and prove to them that they opinion about me is wrong,
I believe that if I do the best, life will to the best to me in the future ^_^
that is what happened to me...

>>1 Hello happy^^ Actually, I had never experienced something like that, nor the best friends of me had experienced something as bad as that. Many people tend to think that one of my friend who has sixth sense a 'freak' and my other friend who loves anime so much 'weird' and ignore her like she is not even there. I cannot give you the best advice because I've never experienced the same situation and don't know the detail, but ... it's true that you needn't to change to what people expected or want you to be. I tend to do so many, many, many times so people will like me. However, I realized that it's wrong. There are so many people with different point of view out there, so they may have different expectations and opinion about what the best for you. You can decrease the bad side of you or do an adaptation to be able to socialize with a society. If you are bad at speaking in front of others, you can learn to change that. But, it's just that. You cannot and don't try to change yourself. I know it's difficult to make parents understand about you. I've ever cried in front of my mother just to explain my opinion, only to make her understand. She will never fully understand, but after that, she tried to see the problem not only from her point of view. However, my point is it may be difficult to make them understand you, but you can always try and try to talk about it. As for the bullying, it's a complicated things. What can I say just be brave in front of them. If they call you names, show them that you are not.

It's easy for me to just talk. I'm sorry. However, if you just be yourself, maybe someday you will find best friends who will accept you as you are. Maybe they are not the best people in society, nor they are able to make you out from your problem. Maybe they have the same problem from you, but together you will understand each other and support each other. It's okay to be different, heck, it's okay to be a 'freak'. After all, everyone is unique. Because of that, we have different point of view and opinion. I stopped (not fully stopped, though)to be what people want me to be. I, and my best friend let people think bad about us. Yes we are weird, but 'so what?'. Is that bad? No! It's not bad! You should be happy to be yourself. Just be yourself and decide the best solution for the problems with your own way that you think are the best. Just remember, you will not always experience the bad things in your life. You just haven't found the place for you to express yourself as you. So, if it's not in your own home or in the place you are now, maybe you will find a place where you can call 'my home' and people who will happily accept you as you are, the real best friends, someday. Just keep going and don't give up^^ (I'm sorry that I can only give you some motivation)

I've been in a similar situation and that time it was like a living nightmare.
My parents kept on saying mean things to me that really put me to the ground. My classmates wanted to bully me, but I was strong enough to stop them trying. My bestfriend turned his back on me, because his sister was jealous of our friendship and told some lies to his father. Then, his father forbid him to ever talk to me. We barely meet, and only rarely we say "hi" to each other. It is 4 years since then.

But hell, yeah, I got tired of being down, depressed and let the others make fun of me.
I transferred to another class, and I was the weird one. But then, in no time, I became everyone's favorite. Even thought I was still a weirdo.
People started to accept me the way I was. I realized that I don't need to care for what others think about me.

I fought and I won.

You can do the same. Your parents had their problems, in their childhood, that made them so mean towards others. If you go have a talk with them, you'll learn they have some dark secrets that made them be this way. And because of it, they think is normal to act, like you deserve all the ugly, mean names.

All I do for you, is to suggest that you start to ignore them. Don't try to change, only in order to become accepted.

You are skinny enough. You aren't fat - and this one happened to me too. I was the skinniest and they called me fat. To prove them wrong I started eating a lot. Like really a lot until I started to gain some belly fat.

If they say you're not good enough, prove them wrong. Do it. For me.
Same goes at school. I'm studying in two universities and there are mean people who keep telling me I'm not good enough and I can't do them both. That motivates me to become better. I'm top 5 in both of them. And I LOVE their faces when they see how good I am.

Let's prove them all wrong. Together, as Dollars!

Thank you, all of you. I took most of the advice just from these couple posts and i'm already feeling just as better. These may be just words to some people, but to me, the words mean a lot more. I also really agree that we should prove people wrong. All together though, as dollars. It makes a team and builds more confidence.

I've been called weird by my family, friends and people at my school i don't even know. Even my crush thinks i am a weird guy and will never look at me the same way i look at her. After some time i have changed my self not to be accepted by others, but to keep myself from thinking that i would fit in with others. I began to keep my distance from other people so much that i despised anyone that crossed my path. I eventually got a best friend that thinks the same way that i do and was also treated the same way. so its not that bad in the end. our motto is ____ and ____ against the world. He is a real friend and he really saved me from that dark pit called loneliness
