• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I never went to high school out of fear of getting made fun of and beat up. I was homeschooled.

i want to rip my lungs out for that decision because now i'm nothing.

never had a girlfriend of anything either because of it so that also makes me feel extremely unattractive, even repulsive.

and now every time i even hear the term high school i want to smash a glass over my head and eat the shards. I insist on 'education center' now..

i never got to experience being a teenager. never had any friends or anything, never went out on weekends. never got a curfew because i never left the house anyway. never had even a prom date or what the heck ever. my life is my computer.

so i'm going to go throw up now.

Remember in the Self Esteem area, the focus here is on improving self esteem, not talking just about why it is low.

I think it is important to look back on how you were treated badly in highschool and pray that the Lord forgives each of them and that the Lord help you to forgive them.

By doing this, you improve your own self esteem and grow more in your faith.

Looking back HS was both good and bad.... I would never want to go though it agian. I was made fun of 90% of the time and was called fat... which is funny cause I was on the wrestling team and had less body fat then most of the girls in my class.... I didn't have any boyfriends, or meny friends for that matter... I was really bitter about a lot of the stuff that happen to me in HS. But after I was born again God showed me how life goes on after high school and where all those people who were so mean to me where they are at today..... living at home with their parents, working at a min wage job, single moms who don't know who their childs father is.... now I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with that... but ALL of those people were the ones who were better then everyone else and who were going to "make it big"..... most of them aren't happy and are bitter about where their lives have gone. God has a way of making things right as long as you stick with HIM. I'm 26 now and I look back on my days in high school and thank God that I did have a hard time because it is what helped make me who I am today!
