It's just unfair to me because I work hard every day on my character and lines and stuff. It just hurts my heart that no one cares about the show and no one is as passonate about theatre in my company as me. I have rehearsal tonight, it's the first run through and that's going to be very tough for me since no one will have their stuff memorized. I also feel bad because I'm always telling people to learn their lines, but whenever I mess up my lines im being a hypocrite. It's just a lot of pressure on me.

Aww, I'm sorry! I'm sure it'll be okay, I was in my school's production of Matilda and I was frustrated that no one but me was trying to study their lines but everyone pulled it together and the show was great! Good luck ❤️

Update: I ended up running it and placed 4th! Slightly disappointed with how I did, but not as bad as I thought!

Lately I've been feeling really bad, first of all my teacher is a bully, shes yelling at everyone (even me!) about the tiniest things like when somone tells her she made a mistake in math, or if your trying to help someone! Its really been getting on my nerves. She's been saying things that hurt peoples feelings and shes been making me feel really angry how she lets out her feelings on her students! She gives us alot of work and keeps making us feel bad about how were doing as a class, if were not trying or if we didnt do good on a project, she dosn't undertand how hard we try, and how hard I try to stay on her good side...

Also, my friends aren't treating me really well, there ditching me alot and going to clubs and places without telling me, they never want to do any group projects with me, plus, I feel like there criticizing me when they comment on things. They also like to spend time with each other and leaving me alone, if there was a group project then they would go together and leave me to go with somone else. I feel like my siblings friends are so nice to her, they always like to do things with her and they are fun but my sister dosnt like me spending time with them or even talking with them, it makes me really sad when I see how everyone wants to be friends with others but nobody really wants to spend time with me or be my partner for any projects. I kinda wish I had a good friend who understands me.

Awww! For your teacher, there is really not too much you can do. If your teacher just recently started doing this, that likely means there is some stressor in her life (family, money, job, etc). It sucks that she’s taking it out on your class. I hope this improves quickly, as that can (and research shows) it impacts the community in the classroom.

And, ooof. I’m sorry about your friends. They don’t really sound like good friends if they’re willing to ditch you so easily. Maybe tell them that this behavior is hurting your feelings? I would hate to suggest to make new friends, since I know how hard that could be. I hope they’ll be able to come around.

Remember, Marcie. You are loved. Please don’t accept anything less.

Thanks Kaitlyn, I don't think its that she has a stressor like you said, since many of her past students have been talking about how she does this, and I aggree that I should find new friends, I'm just worried what they'll think of me after I do, I have been trying to find some new friends but its hard cuz it seems everyone already has them.
*Hugs*
Thanks Kaitlyn, It makes me really happy to know that there are good people like you in the world!

And need therapy but my parents never pay enough attention to me so they don’t know but when my sister did they were instantly helping her and they got rid of one of my dog and I think it’s my fault just like my other older dog they got rid of when i was 8 i think is my fault and i dont know how to deal with it no one understands or cares I only have 2 real friends 3 if you count my cousin who lives far away so i almost never get to see her 4 if count my dog

Kylie im so sorry, nobody should ever be bullied or go through the things your going through, its terrible how people think its ok to treat you like that because you might be a bit diffrent. I've heard from alot of people that there parents won't get them therapy when they need it, maybe you could sit your parents down and explain to them how it important it is for you, you can tell them how you feel, your situation and then ask them if they could get a therapist for you? I think that when your parents understand how you feel then they might think about getting somone to help you feel better when your feeling this way. I know somone in my school who needed therapy but it didnt help them very much when there parents got them one, so make sure your certain you need a therapist before you ask. I understand how it feels, its great that you have some friends you can rely on and who care about you, its very hard to find those types of friends, for me i feel very lonely from time to time but later if you try to feel more grattitude then you may feel a bit happier, like if you say one thing your thankfull for before bed can help. About your dogs, don't assume that its your fault that they gave them away, dogs can be alot of work and they might have alot of reasons they gave them away, you can ask them why, it might help you feel less bad about it! Hope this helps!

Recently things have been going on at my school, and in my friend group. Really, we're all really good friends and we get along very well, I can't remember the last time we argued! But, me and my friends always sit somewhere at recess and just really talk, and hang out and all, but a couple days ago, this kid in my year has been coming to sit with us and "talk". It's kind of awkward when she's there, and I don't really enjoy myself because *sorry* she's a bit annoying, and rude, but she doesn't notice it. My friends are really polite and all, so on the first day when she came and asked to sit with us, they were like "sure" but, we didn't really talk much that break. Then, it happend second break too, she came over to us in the halls and asked again to sit with us. At that point, I was feeling a bit suspicious about what she was getting at. I guess she could just be lonely, but actually I happen to know that she actually has some really nice friends, except the only problem is that she constantly picks fights with them over the tiniest things, and there still willing to be her friend, but I guess it's kinda her fault that she considers herself "Lonely". Today, she didn't even ask to sit with us, as if it's just a regular thing now! I kind of feel like she want's in on my friend group and If I'm to be honest, I don't really want that to happen. She isn't really like my friends, so I don't want a new member, especially a rude one that picks fights.

Sadly, next year I will be moving schools, so I'm a bit worried that she might replace me, and that my friends will eventually forget about me and stop considering me as a friend. They've been very sweet about it, and they really care, but who knows, maybe she will celebrate to having them to herself. My friends understand about how I feel she wants to be part of my friend group and all, and that entrance keys just can't be passed out willy-nilly, and they agree with me on some notes, like how she's a bit rude, but they consider it like it's just passing through and she'll eventually leave us alone. I doubt that.
