Digital voice recorder? I don't know if that would help, but they are really small these days and can record hours of stuff - could you carry one in your pocket to record any altercations you're involved in? I know that probably sounds either lame or excessive, but at least you'd have some kind of proof to offer. I feel bad for you, dude.

You're lucky to have had someone if you are only 18. Half of us didn't get anyone interested until our 20s.

Last shot? Are you expecting to die tomorrow? Sorry just sounds silly.


And some of us still can't get anyone interested and are pushing 40.

Re: The bullying, are you still in highschool? Is there any chance of changing schools? Likely the bullys will not change and will end up in prision, so don't worry about getting back at them, concentrate on keeping yourself safe.

I found that changing schools didn't help worth squat. It's like my mom said over and over again, "You'll always be taking [my name] with you wherever you go." So it is highly unlikely that this guy changing schools will find things any different.

It will eliminate the problem with sepcific bullies. And tbh, if he is 18 he is in his final year and potential bullies wont be getting to know him long enough to hate on him, thats my take. If the bullying has nothing to do with a name I don't see why things wont be different.

Louthinator. Chill. This board gets good traffic, but not THAT good. At least give it a half day.

Also, tip: When you respond with posts like this:

"sighs" i see this were be where all the replys stop oh well time to start a new post to be ignored

....You are creating a self-fulfilling prophesy. This kind of talk and behavior is a huge turn-off. If you want people to talk to you more, if you want people to judge you less, if you want people to enjoy your company more, then you need to be careful to avoid putting yourself down. Also known as negative self-talk.

This is such a commonly reliable pattern that you should heed it well, and try to apply it's ideas elsewhere in your life. The more positive a person you seem to be, the more you will attract peoples' positive regard, as well as positive attention. I recognize that this is exceptionally hard amid a depression, but this is still the truth, and an important way to get out of depression. It's also an important way to turn around your life in a more broader sense.

So, again, I request that you cease with putting yourself down. It makes responding to you much easier, and more enjoyable. (...btw, Shebakoby, this goes for you too.)

And with that said, I look forward to seeing you around here a bit more.
