Ok, so here is where I talk about all my problems. First of all, I have just recently moved from Virginia to California. This sort of depressed me, because, well, you know what I mean if you've moved. Another thing is that everybody here thinks I'm emo. I'm not actually emo. This place forced me into a shell. The only shell that allowed me to express myself was Emo. If you remember my intro topic, I was still acting as if I was in that shell. Then you saw me slowly start to be the actual me. So I'm really unhappy here. Another reason for that is that the curriculum change between Virginia and California, is extreme. California is way easier than Virginia. That makes me angrier than the "be in a group or else!" attitude you have. Classifying is the word. So if anyone could give me any kind of comfort of any kind that would be appreciated.

Stop putting yourself down and whining, and have a positive outlook and enjoy yourself and life instead of closing yourself off.

Virgina to californa? That's a long move. You'll get used to it sooner or later, like how u got used to everyone here on the site. Hope you feel better soon

I know how you feel. I'm from Philadelphia but 7 and a half months ago, I moved to South Carolina. The difference is just… *sighs*… it's a huge difference. I miss home. I miss my family, I miss my friends, I miss real food, I miss northern accents, I miss people knowing wtf Im talking about haha (people here have NO clue what Im saying when I use certain "slang" and stuff)… There's so much about home I miss. I grew up there my whole life.

 

However, I like a lot of things here. Sure the drivers, people and everything else is a slower pace (I don't mean that as an insult. I grew up in a large city where people, drivers and life is just fast. So not like that here lol) but I love living on the beach and being on the beach as much as I can, whenever I want. I also like a place called Broadway at the Beach where there's restaurants, nightlife, plenty of stores for shopping, I also like Market Commons that's down my road. It has hair salons, stores, a beautiful movie theater, a huge Barnes & Noble (I practically live in there) and a lot more stuff. It's a much slower pace here, but I've gotten used to it. I also enjoy the weather. I HATE being cold because Im really badly anemic, so the warm weather here is wonderful to me. I love being able to wear shorts and tank tops all the time.

 

Moving is never easy. I still have my moments where I cry because I miss my family, friends and just having people I know around me. Fortunately, I found a boyfriend here and he's also my friend. We hang out as much as possible and do everything together. It's made it a lot easier. I'm sure you'll meet a lot of new friends. Once you start learning the area, the more comfortable you get with it. Just try to keep your chin up. I know it's hard right now, but I promise it gets easier

People are idiotic because they think people are so simple that they can be categorized. Dont listen to them and be who you are.

 

I have the same problem you do with school being too easy. What I do is find things that interest me and keep myself challenged that way. My main thing is reading about medieval times and Norse civilization. I'm a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, and that's fun because I learn about the medieval times by recreating the things they did. But find something that interests you and explore ways to challenge yourself that way. Just because school is easy doesnt mean you have to stop learning. Screw them and get smarter your own way.

Just open yourself like i do.........no wories....maybe the people will like this "opening".....

Ok, have a "problem" but it isn't important enough for a new thread, so I'll just put it here. So today I was at a friend's party and someone dared me to ask someone out. Not sure what I was thinking, but I said I'd do it. So about half an hour later, I'm alone enough with the guy I like to be comfortable asking. So here go the exact words, "Augustus, I have something to ask you. Will you go out with me?" I said. And here goes what he said. "NOOOO!" and he ran off. Wow, I was devastated. I know you'll say that it was just a dare, but I was going to do it eventually anyway. I feel really rejected.... I don't need any comfort, I just thought it'd feel good to type it out.

One of the things I learned is that people are more likely to judge you negatively when they don't know the real you. Once people knew the real me I gained a lot of respect. I even have 6th graders and other younger people who look up to me and are happy to see me (I'm a junior). Pretty much just get yourself out there, don't be afraid to show people the real you. Do this by joining groups that fit your interests, inside and out of school. Also don't be afraid to experiment with things expand your horizons, you will get a lot out of it.

I know you said you didn't need comfort but I'll just say this (which you may already know). Rejection is everywhere and its a part of life so you can't beat yourself up about it. Plus the way he rejected you like that, I can tell he wasn't for you, he could have been much more kind but he decided to make a d**k move by doing that, just be thankful you're not with a guy like that.
