I've been really stressed a lot lately, hardly had enough time for myself. it seems like I'm working my ass off and no one seems to see the effort I put into everything I do. Its frustrating when you think you deserve so much more in life than those around you, but you never get anything your way. I'm just sick to guts trying to excel highly in school to meet my parents expectations and trying to improve as a person to top it all. Tbh I've hardly had enough time to make friends ever since I moved to my new location in NJ. (I live with a military family ) so I'm constantly moving, I've never really have stable friends to begin with. Think you don't have friends? try going to a school with over 3600 students and not having anyone or anybody to relate with. I'm probably not like anyone you've ever met, I sit on front of this computer all day because I'm limited to a social life. Most of all I think I'm missing out on everything that people should be doing at my age. There will be no prom for me, no graduation party's or anything. When i graduate I feel as if my life as a recluse will just begin to unravel. I don't see anything positive ever happening in my future.

I think I'm getting more and more sick of my life, I'm beginning to loose everything that meant importance to me. I used to be a very goal oriented person, now thats gone away. I'll be going to college next year and before this year I had so much to hope for, now it seems like I don't see anything bright ever coming into my future. I'm beginning to loose everything that made me the strong person I was.

" I may not be much older than you, so this might sound a little strange. But high school and what goes on there means so little from the moment you graduate. I graduated last May, and already the cliques and who did what is just a faded memory to most.

What matters is that you are happy. When you go to college maybe you will feel free finally and will find happiness there. I recommend living in a dorm for at least one year...you will meet people like that wihtout even trying hard, and you may be surprised at how well you fit in.

Please don't give up hope, because better times are sure to come. And also, as difficult as it is, you need to forget your parents' expecations and make your own. Think about what YOU want and what YOU consider good, and make those things your goals.

At the beginning of this semester I was still going with what my parents wanted (medical school), and I gave up on that to pursue what I wanted...and I've been feeling better and more motivated since then.

Sorry this is such a long reply. If you ever need someone to listen though, I'm here. "
