Struggling

Deleted User

Hi I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New year Slight smile

I'm struggling at the moment

School has started again and I'm really struggling with it

The lessons are really hard and everyone's horrible to me because of the autism they call me a retard and laugh at me because I'm ugly.

I have school again tomorrow, which sucks but I guess I've got to go.

Does anyone here have any coping strategies which will help me deal with the bullies and hard lessons? If you do that would be great Slight smile

  • So sorry to hear this Salky. Lots of people find (or did find) school difficult, so remember you're not alone. Don't focus on trying to fit in with people who clearly aren't nice, you don't need them.

    I would say try and focus on finding friends who are more on your wavelength (even if it's just one or two true friends), and try not to think too much about the rest of it. Hobbies can be a great distraction and bring happiness too :-) 

    You're not a retard and you're not ugly - people have a habit of picking on people they perceive as different, that's all (it's their weakness not yours). 

    If you're struggling with some subjects it would be worth speaking to someone about it (e.g. a parent or teacher). Maybe you could think about a tutor as well. 

    Hope things improve for you.
