The world is not against you. You are against the world. Too make a difference you must work really hard at everything you do. You must stand out. Otherwise, the world will not even now you exist. Just like an ant, you will get stepped on. Work hard and be loyal, then the world will be with you. |

This is a common feeling to a lot of people no matter what age. Tell your parents about these feelings, Running away will not solve anything. If you feel you can't tell your parents, tell your school nurse or guidance counselor. Doctors have simple tests that can find out what's wrong. Don't be afraid, you are not alone with these feelings. |

By reading through the many posts, I see that many here understand where you're coming from. There are stages that everyone goes through, and some are more difficult than others. Being 12 is hard, because so much is happening inside and outside of your life. You're not that little child anymore, and you don't want to be treated like one. You wish people would be straight with you. I too felt like running away, but at 15 (I was a late bloomer!). I felt like my mom just wanted a slave to do the chores (we lived on a chicken farm). I was tired of it and thought about running away. But I had no place to run to. And I was more scared of the big world than I was of sticking with what I knew. Eventually, it all worked out, though not in the way I would have wanted. My mom ended up getting cancer, a couple of years later, and dying. Things really changed, then. So, don't despair, little one. I won't guarantee that things will get better, but eventually you won't feel this way. Do you have a big sister to talk to? How about an aunt, or even a teacher that you trust? Sometimes talking to someone who's been 12 really helps you see things differently. It would be really great if you could talk to your mom about this. Maybe write her a letter, then call her into your room to watch her read it, then discuss it. I did that, shortly after my mom got sick. I wanted to tell her that there was a boy I liked at school, but I was afraid she'd make fun of it. So, I did the letter thing and it worked! She actually sat down and talked to me, like a person instead of just her kid. I was sad also, because I knew she was dying and it took something this huge to make her realize that she needed to be a better mom. So, I became the mom that I had always wanted. I listened to my little girl when she had problems. She still calls me every week, and she's 22 now. I know it might not make you feel any better, but I don't think I've ever known a 12 year old who wasn't depressed! I would be surprised if you weren't. There are so many pressures on kids your age now, that wasn't there when I was your age. Just take it from one who's been there...this too shall pass. This might also be the best time to keep a journal, and write down how you feel every day. When time passes, look back to those times. You'll see that this is just another step in growing up. Start to focus on the positives. If you can't find any, make some. Study really hard, so that you'll be proud of your grades. Get involved in some clubs at school. Get every bit that you can out of your school experience. All too soon, you'll be graduating, and looking back on all this as the day when you decided to take control of your life, and your emotions. Be good. <*)))>< |

If you run away you will find the same thing somewhere else. The same type people but different faces.So running away would be like running back into the situation that you had to begin with. Try talking with people about your feelings in a non threatening mature tone. Say when you said this I felt this.Perhaps by facing your problems you will do much better in your situation and the communication can be aired out in the open. That's how a mature person would do it. |

Your parents aren't against you..They just want what is best for you. Their job is not to be you friend, or just to feed you what you want to hear. Their job is to help you learn to be a good person and take the right steps towards a good life. Friends at that age are always two faced. Just ride it out and look at the good stuff that is going on. Join a sport, or take up an activity. |

If you feel like you're alone, you're not alone. We all feel, at times, that we have no self worth. We all face problems in our lives that make us want to run away from it all. However, we cannot run away from who we are. Problems will always find you.
My advice, put a smile on your face. Say hi to everyone you meet. Do some good for someone else. Make someone else's day. I find that if I make other people happy, I am happy. |

Life is hard and the faster you learn this the better you will be. Parents really don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. But you being only 12 you really need to find someone you trust to talk to. I know it might be hard to talk to your parents so maybe a Friend or school counselor. Right now is a very hard time for you because your body is going through some changes. You might even be going through puberty. just hang in there. You are not alone I am 27 and most of the time feel like God hates me. |

don't run away.
I feel like everyone is against me most of the time.
If you feel like this, you probably will feel like this when you grow up. You are a blacksheep like me. You are the minority. You are the outcast.
You will find that you are different from the rest of them. This isn't a bad thing, it makes you an individual.
You're 12, you're going through a sh1tty time right now. Ride it through and make a good life for yourself.
Have fun, don't take things too seriously, but take your life seriously, and your studies. Live your dream. Forget about everyone else... You are the only one who matters.
I hope you find your happiness. |

Sounds like you are really depressed. It might be difficult to take the first step, but I would try to talk to your school counselor. They are there to help you. |

Your parents like you. They just don't know you very well yet. And you don't know yourself yet. That's fine. Stick it out! Things get sooo much easier later. Stay in school, work hard, and graduate and move out and things will get a lot better then. And you'll look back on this and laugh. |
