So how can I can I be confident and indepentent so I would always have my friends with me. Well... I can't write anymore but, give me an advice!

My advise is that you avoid using your real, full name, on the internet.

If that is your real full name, that is.

Come up with a screen name to use on the web, it really isn't safe to have your full name so that the entire world knows who you are.

Now, with that out of the way, you will ALWAYS be around rude, ignorant, useless, people.
They are everywhere, and you can't avoid them, unless you lock yourself in the house and never venture out.

You have to learn to ignore those idiots, or it will drive you crazy.

Just do your best to stay away from them, ignore them when you can't avoid them, and spend your energy and time with the people you really care about, and who really care about you in return.

Well I am no expert but I think you should try not to think about what other people think and if you don't like them starting rumors about you then don't talk to them. If they are starting rumors about you then they feel threatened by you!

If you want to share with people here, you can feel confident in doing so, because this site is very well moderated, unlike so many other sites.

You are going to have to be dealing with different kinds of people the rest of your life. As such, it would be best to get used to practicing how to do that now. You could start doing that on a site such as this, as well as hearing and learning from those here who have had to face up to the responsibilities, pressures and idiosyncrasies of dealing with different types of people as well as personalities.

What are your interests, please?

I am also wondering why people would talk about you and make up rumors?

Thanks!

I believe you should concentrate more in what you think you are and not what people think about you. Also I believe you need to learn how to ignore, I had the same problems last year when I moved to a new school because first I was a different skin color, second I was too smart for them, third I loved classical music and sports which they think is a lot weird, and fourth I loved poems, fifth they just didn't liked me, so I had problems and I just had to learn to ignore them and to choose better my friends and now I have such good friends that wouldn't even have the courage to say something bad about me in my back. So just don't miss school and try to be more you and not what people want you to be. That's all I have to say from my point of view.

Accept everything that comes to you. After all you are part of the same system/Universe that the other person is. There are myriads/billions of reasons certain things happen to someone and not other. Learn from this. Open up and grow in Life. Don't isolate yourselves. Play safe but grow from experience. Nothing wrong in being vulnerable.

That is my philosophy. Take it or leave it.

Everything happens for good only eventually.
