What do I do

I have just turned 14 and for the last 7 months I have been very upset with myself. In april I noticed that a few people in the year above were talking, pointing, lauging an staring at me.I didn't like it at all. I know that it is me that they are talking about because I have heard them say things about me. Until the end of July I was trying to get my mam to let me move to a different school away from them because I had stopped eating on a lunchtime because I always went into my school libary where you aren't allowed to eat but it was the only place where I knew I wouldn't see any of them.
I began to loose friends and I wasn't invited to their birthday parties and they never asked me if I wanted to go out on a weekend. I was getting very upset but it felt like my mam just didn't care :(
I used to pull my hair out, burn my hands and sometimes cut myself. I couldn't help it and I don't know why I started doing it.
In May I started to talk to a counsoler (I know I spelt it wrong) in school. Things were getting a bit better but I still wasn't eating anyting. Then in september when I went back to school I decided I would start going in the dinner hall. But a month later I noticed more people starring and talking. I stopped going in the dinner hall agan and went bck to th libary.
Last week I had been to see the counseller and when I came out o school told my mam that I had spoken to her. My mam said "You can't have special treatment just because you are wiered" that was one of the worst things I had ever heard her say.
Now I really want to go to a different school because I am behind on loads of school work because the teachers have put me in classes which are really hard and I don't eat anything at lunch time.

How do I convince my mam to let me go to a differnt school

Sorry that the this is so long xx

Hello HSL!!

Who are those wierdos who would laugh & point & all that rubbish - don't they have a life?

I think it might help u to think about yourself as if u were a friend of yours talking to u.
Might sound daft, but if your friend was saying to u all the things u are saying about yourself what advice would u give them?
Especially with all your experience, I bet u could give them really good advice.

I would be saying:
Never mind 'sneaking sarnies into the library'- screw them - go eat where u want.
If they are looking etc. more sad & wierd for them don't u think?
And if u are different, so f--g what? There is no such thing as Normal anyway!

The best revenge u can have on these losers is to be happy anyway - they'd hate that don't u reckon?
By hurting yourself etc u are giving them what they want.
And we don't want that, do we?

Good luck!

:)
