Keep plodding on. Attack each day. Do what you want and remember that above all, as long as you are behaving kindly and fairly then it WILL all work out. You will find happiness in yourself and/or with another person.

Do you have a teacher you can confide in? Someone a step removed from mum and dad?

You'll probably find you have a wider support network than you think you do, you just need to ask them to help.

i want to be normal but i want to be me

lenneh I think I really, really get where you are coming from!

If you have an identity that makes you feel not part of some sort of 'happy', 'normal' majority, then life can feel like really hard work, and unfair and sometimes cruel, too. And that is so when you're young.

But please, please believe me, those things pass. They can pass. They can be tough for a while, but as you get older, you find out who you are, or you become OK with not quite knowing who you are, it becomes interesting, even, and enjoyable. And eventually you find other people who are similar - or very different, but it's OK. And life gets much, much better. And you find that you wouldn't change who you are, even though things have been really difficult in the past.

Hi there, Lenneh

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources - www.mumsnet.com/webguide/mental-health. You can also go to the Samaritans' website www.samaritans.org/, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We're going to move this thread over to our Mental Health boards shortly where we think the OP will get lots more relevant support.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Lenneh. We really hope things start to become easier for you somehow soon.

I should add at 13 I had no identity. I couldn't see what was ahead of me and all I knew was I wasn't the child I was any more. 13-15 is a proper no mans land for identity and you'll really find who you are in the coming few years, I promise, and as you leave your teens you'll begin to know who you are, your confidence will increase and you'll blossom. By the time you're in your 30s like me you'll have a handle on who you really are and be able to swat annoying twats like the flies they are

Stay strong

Give yourself permission to have a wibble then. Not enough of us do that. If you need to cry then cry. Friendship is a multiway street, cry on their shoulders let them shoulder some of your pain and help guide you through it.

Get guidance in RL

Maybe you are that strong. Consider that. Why should you perish? Fuck the haters. They are going to hate....

JuniorMumber · 18/12/2014 01:06

Lenneh, you sweet thing, I wasn't going to comment on this because I don't feel qualified, and there are people on here much wiser than me, but I am lying awake thinking about this thread and I had to reach out.

Everyone has the voice telling them they are useless etc... you learn to squash it down. People who don't have that voice are usually massive arseholes.

As many people have said before me, you are special and perfect as you are. There is no such thing as 'normal', it's an illusion.

Being a teenager is a hugely confusing and painful time. I PROMISE it gets easier. You start to find yourself and become comfortable with who you are.

You have so much ahead of you OP. This time next year you will look back on this and feel sorry for the lost soul you were and wish you could go back in time and give yourself a hug. Your life is waiting for you, and you deserve it - it's yours!

To me you sound wonderful and sensitive. The world needs people like you, who feel deeply and who care. You must NOT surround yourself with people who do not see your beauty and value you. The world, unfortunately, contains people who will try to bring you down and break you, everyone comes up against them, the reasons they are motivated to do this are internal and nothing to do with you. You will never really know what the reasons are and nor should you care.

Go back to school and hold your head up and give the world a smile. I can promise you (as someone more than twice your age Smile) our world is all the better for having you in it.
