    Lately i'm so down I can't even get out of bed.I'm studying for my LC and when i'm finished studyin instead of going out I just sleep.
    Nobody seems to notice i'm alive,everyone talks down to me,ignores me,interrupts me or puts down what I have to say.
    My parents are both dead,my mam of cancer two years ago and my dad a good few years ago but that as after he abandoned me.
    I live with my grandparents who don't like being left with me very much. I got a rejection letter from my No.1 course the C.A.O and as I was breaking down about it my grandfather was more concerned about the potatoes going cold.
    I have started self harming and have tried to killl myslef twice.
    I heard someone i really admired saying terrible things about me behind my back after i thought we were friends.
    Nonody notcies how unhappy I am,allI want is a hug and someone to love me I'm sick of struggling through everything alone.
    I tried all those hotlines etc they never answer and I used to go to a counsellor but don't have time at the moment,maybe after my exams.

    Is there anyone at school you can talk to about this??

    I know you say you don't have the time to talk to anyone about this, but what about a school counsellor during school hours? There must be someone?

    My God... ...I really bad for this situation that you are in. I was in such a situation a few times in the past and it's just so awful. Things change in life though, and your situation can change too. Firstly - if yuo can - try to be come more authoritative. If you don't stand up for yourself, people will run rings around you (i.e. - use you). So, don't be afraid to speak back to someone who says something bad about you. Basically, don't take **** from anyone.

    It would also be in your best interests to contact the school counsellor (if there is one), or even just go to the school principle. I'm not joking about this, by the way, but if not the principle, then just a teacher. People can be very helpful, but only if they know that you need help. What a mean is, it's difficult for, say, a teachers to recognise that one student out of many is having problems. You have to go to them to get noticed.

    If you want to PM me about anything, then please do. I am a moderator on a psychological help forum and I deal with this stuff every single day. I have amassed some 13,000+ posts on it.

    Please take care my friend,
    Kevin

    Hey,
    My parents both dies last year from cancer,i know what oyu are going through.I'm doing my Leaving too and its very hard to cope.
    I am always falling asleep,I went to a counsellor she said it was stress related I recommend some vitamins,natural stimulants, and try some green tea to relax you at night,ask local health shop what is best.

    Iknow being upset about your course was awful,I got rejected from art college yet i'm doing a portfolio course next year,It always works out!
    As for the self harm,I don't know how you will get past it without counselling,maybe for an hour on saturdays?

    This is some very good advice
    I found my school counsellor very helpful when I was going through a rough time.
