What Happens When You’ve Given Up?
July 24, 2008
Dear Girl to Girl Talk,
I need to know because I feel like I’m completely on my own and I’ve lost everything that was ever important to me. I’m not suicidal just so you know. All I ever want is to be alone and I shut everyone out. I’m failing most of my subjects and I can’t bring myself to actually bother anymore.
I’ve never had a boyfriend and I feel lonely. I’m not even ugly, it’s not fair. I’ve been picked on and bullied by my friends for no reason ever since I can remember and there’s nothing I can do about it.
If I don’t have them, I feel like I don’t have anyone.
My parents are divorced and I hate my dad for reasons I won’t go into. Please give me some advice. I’ve never told anyone this before as there isn’t anyone I know that I can trust. Please don’t tell me to call childline or anything like that.
I’ve tried to be strong and put on a brave face but I can’t do it anymore. I’m 14, nearly 15 and I don’t want to grow up not letting anyone in and hating everything and everyone.

Dear Savannah
A. I think that it starts with loving yourself and finding the good qualities that you have and focusing on them.
Someone once told me that you will only allow others to treat you as bad as you treat yourself. Which is so true!
If you begin treating yourself with love and kindness than that is all you will expect from others, and anything less you will not and should not tolerate.
My advice would be to find a hobby or sport that you really love and you will meet new people who have similar interests and who treat you better than the friends you have now who bully you.
Hope it gets better for you =)
Much Luv,
xoxo Katie
