Answer from an old fart. You're 13, Im 55. Even though I'm much older, like you, I want others to see me as I see myself. They see me as my occupation, my age, my looks; none of those is me.\nThe few people who really know me see beyond that. It took many years until they could.\nPeople who *really* know you will be able to see you as you really are, but it takes patience.\nNo 13 year old has patience. Forgive my geezer point of view, but stick it out. It will get better, unless you're a jerk. Then it is not a good thing if people see you as you really are.\n\nDick

Your family sounds awfully insensitive. Sometimes people hide their insensitivity through humor (like Jay Leno). Your parents are not realizing the impact they have on your self-esteem. The only way to stop this is to have another adult intervene because (unfortunately), people don't tend to take children seriously. Talk to a school counselor or your teacher or any other reliable adult to have a serious discussion with your parents ONLY if you feel your family problem has not subsided within a period of time.\n\nLastly, people make fun of others to get a reaction out of the victim. If you don't respond to their insults with anger or any type of emotions, they will stop because it no longer becomes "fun".

I agree with Angelina. You need to speak to a counselor or therapist as soon as possible. If your parents won't take you or cannot afford it, at least find a teen support group.

Don't let them get you down in the first place. \n\nIt's none of your business what people think of you.

=I would try taking to those who irritate you at home.  Maybe they just do it for fun cause they like you and are sure you can always get a response from them.  It is a form of negative attention.  Let them know you don't appreciate it..

You know, age 13 and 7th grade was my absolute worst year, ever.  Congrats on surviving it!  Just breathe, it'll all sort itself out soon enough, you don't need to worry about it or be confused.

Do you have a close friend or a close relative that you can talk with?  Are you in your teenage years, if you are, that can be a trying time.  Maybe you should talk w/a therapist or a minister about your issue.  Please keep trying your best, and stay focused.  You're not doing anything wrong, your just searching for support and guidance.  Try to stay strong.

just be brave and face it.  if anyone asked u anything, just tell them that nothing happened and that if something happened u would'nt be sitting there like that the very next day.\n\nso actually nothing really happened and u dont care what the people say.  just be defiant, b'cos if u fight shy or cry, then the saddists will make up stories to fit their imagination.  \n\nif somebody is persistant, then tell them that their daughter or sister also was one among your group and if something had happened to you, the same had happened to her also.  and that if they continue tormenting u, then u would tell the others that they were also present there.  just be brave girl and face it.  dont cry.

Maybe you should come out of your shell. Learn to talk to people before they talk to you. People are so judgmental and that's what makes the world horrible. Don't let them get to you, if you  are comfortable with the way you are, that's just fine, you'll fine the right people in time. Don't change for anyone, be happy with the way you are, if they misunderstand you in a bad way, blow them off that's there lost...=)

Just say "That wasn't nice." when they say something harsh. Maybe they don't realize it.\n\nOtherwise, get new friends.

When you get fed up enough, just tell them loud and clear, that you are NOT your sister! You have your own life, your own likes and dislikes and ways of doing things. If they have sibs, ask them if they're just like THEIR brothers or sisters. As long as you're doing well in school and not a trouble-maker, this should do it.

Take a pillow, put it over your face and scream as loud as you can (this helps me a lot) or write out your feelings in a journal or a letter to the person that is making you so angry or upset, then burn it. If you need someone to talk to feel free to email me. I went through a lot of things when I was a teen and may be able to help. I wish you the best and I will pray for you.

I was the same way as you are: here my story\n\nWhen i was at the age of id say 10-13 was the same way i didnt wanna go and do anything that involved other people. and i had mabe 2 friends. i never hung out with them i just talked to them in school. i was always depressed. i HATED talken to new people or even people i knew. what i did was i suck it up and went into school and started talken to people no matter how much i didnt want to, i changed my appearence (i cut my hair short, started wearing really nice clothes) and just going up to random people and starting a convo wit them will actully help you. i guarentee you will be happier. Im now 16  almost 17 i have TONS OF FRIENDS im really popular, for my sophmore year i got best looking best dressed funniest and best listener. \nbecause you arnt in skool anymore or atleast i hope u arnt this is wat u should do.\n\n~~~heres wat to do~~~\n\n1. STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE\n\n2 Go and hang out wit some family members and go wit them to hang out wit their friends and because of that you will make new friends\n\n3 Dont be afraid to like go up to a random person adn start a convo. (this will make you happier because you will have tons of friends)\n\n4. i dont know how you dress or your personal appearnece but if you wanna try something new. Try changing the way you look, I.E. style of clothing if you dress like a geek then try changing to like mabe a pair of pants that are a little baggie, wear some nice shirts (Ecko Southpole Fubu).\n\n5. Smile, Be Nice\n\n6. if you are invited to something i suggest you go to it, try it, mabe you will realize how much fun you can have. And if you decide you dont like it then figure out why you didnt like it, was it the people? were you bored because you didnt hang out wit anyone? \n\nI Hope This Helps You Out A Little. \n\nif you have anymore questions email me : jslatts@hotmail.com

This really hits me close to home because I have gotten on peoples nerves by pretending to be something I am not to be well liked well received as well as to get attention.\n\nI have "put up a front" because I have been hurt or I wanted to impress someone or be accepted and popular.\n\nTake your friend aside speaking the truth in love and ask him/her why they are acting differently? Encourage them to be themselves, there is nothing more refreshing or more genuine than a person who chooses to be themselves and be comfortable with who they are as a person.\n\nPeople have taken the time to speak with me privately and because of that I am learning just to be the person God made me any more or less would be a step out of His plan.\n\nI don't know who old you and your friend are but as a teenager young people want to be secure and feel special and accepted by their peers and sometimes people will try to the ends of the earth to impress people, but the bottom line and I am learning this in my mid 30s id not everyone in life is going to like you and you are not going to be well received by God.\n\nEncourage your friends to work with what they have and use the resources that God gives them. There is an old saying bloom where you are planted. Be encouraged
