Ever since one girl stopped talking to me, I have been hated or ignored or been called names like a and a whore.. Why do I feel so alone? I feel like everyone hates me and I feel like everyone is excluding me or whenever I'm there they're just tolerating me but hates me inside.. I've cut myself before because I feel like it will numb my emotional pain. I am sorry if it seems like I'm attention seeking but I just don't know anymore.. Am I really that bad of a person?

You aren't and please don't try to cut yourself again for people like this. And can you tell me the whole story please I would like to know :)

I learned a valuable lesson from the most important role model I had in life as a kid, my dad.

"Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

See, I was bullied like you wouldn't believe a kid could be in middle school both physically and emotionally. Wasn't hard for my father to figure out, after a while it drains all the joy from you and a black eye isn't easy to hide. He always used to tell me that "If people don't like you for who you are, then their not worthy of your attention. You don't need to impress anyone, just be you and your real friends will find you."

I've cut myself too, my father caught me once. I told him I did it because I didn't feel important and at the time I guess I didn't. He got upset, upset to the point of tears, the man I look up to (he's no small guy either) crying, he hugged me and just repeated the words "I care!". That's all it took for me to realize someone cared.

People do care about you, you just need to focus less on the people that don't matter and pay more attention to those who do. Just be yourself, ignore the nasty comments and the rumours, they mean nothing coming from people who don't mean anything. I take it you're young judging from the things that are being said by these other girls. You've got a long life ahead of you, things do get easier, but finding your true friends takes a lifetime because your true friends will be around you for a lifetime.

Stay strong and remember, people do care about you!
