I am most isolated in my current year, I go to school online, and have maybe one friend.

I'm completely isolated. I have zero friends right now.

err.... all of them?

Years 1-6 -> Outcast and bullied
Umm Year 7 was probably my best year.
year 8 -> outcast and bullied
the rest -> Invisible weirdo with mental problems.

Well probably grades 9-10 I guess. I was pretty much on my own in a huge 2000+ student high school. My grades were terrible and I eventually ended up skipping pretty much every day. It was around that time they diagnosed me. My final 2 years I wasn't any less isolated but it was set up so I could complete my schooling from home so I happier I guess to be away from the stresses of school. I've been able to build something of social life the last year or so since a good friend of mine moved back to town that had moved away before high school but kept in touch with me. It's not much but way better than being by myself staring at a wall.

God I just feel so depressed right now, I hate my life.

This is so touchy of a subject for me. I have to say early high school. I had a good group of friends in middle school, and started to make some friends junior year. Freshman and sophomore year were unbearable for me.

Middle school was bad enough but 9th Grade was without a doubt the worst. That was the year I went to public school -- the teasing and bullying was relentless. I felt like I didn't have a single person in the whole world except for my dad.

Early years were hardest for me, as I didn't / wouldn't play with other kids. Eventually we grew up a bit, as a girl, standing there talking with others was enough for friendship, so that got better.

Gosh I hated other kids running around screaming, playing ball or tag, or jump rope or hopscotch...etc. I was glad they never ask me to join because I wouldn't have liked it. By grade 5 or 6 I became quite popular as the smart talented kid. The things my friends and I did together were soo much more interesting, like we collected plants and rock samples and study them, we went to unknown areas and explored, we read books and talked about them, we learned useful skills together like knitting and crochet. If I can go back in time and live my life again, I want to start at 12.

BTW I grew up in a special area - where all the geeks in the country lived. So it's probably a bit different from most other areas. I never stood out as odd, only as someone who didn't like physical playing.

Third grade. I had a horrible teacher who would constantly remind the other students how weird I was so any chaces of potental friendship and being included were thrown out the window. I had earned a bad name with other teachers as well.

I was semi issolated by fourth grade but the teachers facailated a friendship with another girl and we were good friends but she sometimes would maninupliate me for her own amusment and had other friends and never really invited me to events. I had to ask to be invited. Her other friends always seemed much better than I did.

By fith grade my parents took me out to homeschool me and when my parents tried to include me in groups of other homeschooled kids, I was often bullied or harassed. These events had no structure whatsoever either and after I sprained my ankle trying to run away from a boy who was chasing me, I would have a meltdown any time my mother suggested trying to find a group for me. I saw how great it was so be able to loose myself in my special intrests and not have to worry about offending someone or have to share. I could just lecture to my parents about my special intrests and they were more willing to listen than silly kids. I realised I was happiest by my self and because issolated by choice by mid fith grade and when I go to vet school, I am probably going to have the nickname of "The Ghost" or something because I will never innicate a conversation and will only interact with my professors and mentors. "Friends" are a waste of time and energy. As I said even though my favorite eppisode of Invader Zim is "Invasion of the Idot Dog Brain", the eppisode that most hits home with me is "Bestest Friend".
