Besides School, life is generally p'ing me off and its getting me right down. I feel like I have no real friends, only ones on the internet which I would class as 'virtual friends'. I need someone I can bother with.For the last 5 years I've withered away infront of a friggin computer screen and now I want to start living my life, 'hanging out' etc. All my old mates are now Goths & stuff, which kinda bugs me (don't get me wrong - I got nothing against them, just I wouldn't wanna bother with someone like that). I'm just me - I kinda like being me, besides that there is no one for me to 'hang out' with.Then theres school. They rightfully know we got an award ceriomony tonight so I have no time for homework, but still they give us a 3 page essay on Shakespeare. How the hell am I meant to do it?Then, lastly, my love life. Call me a wierdo or a freak, but at the end of the day, my position is personal opinion. I fancy a girl whos 4 years younger than me, and some m8s are saying go for it, others say don't risk it. Its very confusing and I have no idea which way to turn.How the hell am I meant to deal with things like this when they get me down? Making me pissed off makes me lose my temper with parents then i end up depressed. The homework by the way, is for exams. Why the hell do they stress us at such a young age?!N e help please? How can i de-stress my self?

Life drives me mad...

Is there a counsellor connected to your school that you could talk to? Have to thought about talking to an adult like that? Is there anybody in that sphere; teacher/doctor/counsellor that you could talk to without your parents knowing? (presuming that you would want to keep it private) Whatever the outcome, you shouldnt be keeping these feelings to yourself.

Hi Jaguar.All through life, some old friends gradually fall away, while new ones appear. Thank goodness, because we can only handle so many friends, and if old ones didn't go we couldn't have new ones. Let it be, be comfortable with yourself, and see what new friends arise.Did the teacher really expect you to write a three page essay overnight? Even without an awards night, that would be stupid. If, on the other hand, you had a week to do it and it just happens to be due after the awards night, you're supposed to plan ahead.I can't advise you over the girl. I think it's risky.Try to be more accepting of yourself and of life. Give yourself some time to do things you enjoy, but also get into regular work habits, so you're getting the schoolwork done too. You're not required to enjoy study, but if you do it regularly at the same time it makes it a little easier. It also makes it easier if you can do it somewhere without distractions - perhaps at school, or the local library.

Thanks for the advice. We had 2 nights to do the essay, but my uncle was taken into hospital on the first night. As it is, i've actually woken up with a pounding headache and sick so I havn't gone to school any way.As far as I'm aware, there is no one for me to really talk to, there is only teachers. I have some friends on MSN which I talk to about things like this which does help (thankfully).Its just been building up and now I just feel really stressed and depressed, including crying a lot more than I used to.Thanks anyway guys, i'll take some of it into account in the future and hopfully find a member of the school to talk to about things like this.

I'm the same with my internet friends. I have no real life friends at all except for my boyfriend. It's good that talking to them helps, but if you feel that just talking to them online sometimes isn't enough, maybe you could talk to them on the phone? (If you trust them with your number), Or over microphone if you have one. It would be alot more personal than typing. The 'Hanging out' would still be a problem.. But if you know some of your internet friends well enough, who knows.. you could meet up and become the best of friends! Though if you do think of meeting up with someone, make sure you really do trust them and can be sure of who they are, and all that.If you do take my suggestions into consideration I really do want you to be careful of who you trust. Please don't have me be the cause of something terrible
