Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your story. It sounds like you’re dealing with some really difficult things at school, and they’ve made you feel really sad and alone. It must be tough, feeling like you need to change yourself to fit in. We’re sorry to hear that it’s been so challenging.
No one deserves to feel so emotionally hurt by others. School should be a place where you feel safe. Have you told anyone about what you’re experiencing? Sometimes it helps to have someone to talk to, like friends, parents, or school counselors. Since you mentioned thinking of things that harm you, it might also help to know that To Write Love on Her Arms (http://www.twloha.org) provides resources for teens dealing with self-injury. If you’re feeling really unsafe, you can reach the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK, but if you’re just looking for help at school, websites like http://www.stopbullying.gov offer resources for teens dealing with social issues.
If you would like to talk more about your situation, you can contact our anonymous and confidential hotline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-RUNAWAY (1-800-786-292

Good luck to you,
NRS
