I'm 14 and I moved to london, england from New York when I was 11. I went to the same school for middle school and loved it, but my parents made me switch for high school. Now I feel like I don't have any real friends, and I don't want to stay here for the rest of high school, but I don't want to have to start over AGAIN. I've slit my wrists 3 times over different things, and I think it might hhappen again. I feel so lost and like ill never belong.

You don't understand how lucky you are. The chance of meeting new people from a different country. Your high school years are suppose to be the best years of your life. You need to find out if there are other kids that are new to the school as well. They might be feeling like you do and are looking for a friend too. Go to the school office and inquire about new students. Keep your chin up; you are not alone.

There are people that understand and can help you. Have you talked to your parents about this? Or maybe your school counselor?

I can definitely relate to how you feel - feeling like no matter where you go you won't belong, because those people have been together for their entire lives. But it's OK, other people go through the same thing, and they all deal with it. Try and just enjoy your unique experience as best you can - try to direct your spare time (when you might be dwelling on your situation) towards things that you enjoy, like a sport or an academic subject. Hope this helps!
