I just began sophomore year and I seriously would rather die than go to school. I hate everybody at my school and in my classes except for the few friends I have, and they're not in any of my classes. I get made fun of by the popular girls and I'm not even "weird". I am totally normal and yet they make fun of me. Not a single guy talks to me and I know that's not the only important thing in life but it just kinda hurts when you're completely ignored. I just want to be online schooled or homeschooled but my mom thinks it's stupid. I used to be really really depressed and had thoughts of suicide and I don't want that to come back. I have a teacher who makes me nauseous just walking into his class because he's so mean and scary and my school doesn't believe in switching teachers, they believe in talking to the teacher about your problem. I don't know what to do! Last year I missed like 24 days of school. This year I'm only 2 weeks in and I've already missed 2 days. I seriously have no strength to get up in the morning and I cry every single morning because I don't want to go. The work is fine, it's the social aspect. Can I have some advice on how to power through?

That really sucks, dude. And I know how you feel. There was a point last year where I could barely drag myself out of bed, too.
This year has only just begun. People will relax and get into the boring routine soon, and you probably won't have such a hard time with other students being horrible to you. But instead of letting it get to you when people do say rude things, you gotta remind yourself that everyone around you is a person too, and they're going through their own life-stuff. So just ignore the negative and soak in all the positive, you know?
And if it gets bad enough, just keep in your head: You only have a few years left. These idiots around you are going to always be idiots, but you're gonna get away from it and do some cool stuff once school's done.
You have only two years?? I'm sorry. You need some inspiration. Every day you get out of bed no crying(your crown isn't supposed to fall),listen to your favorite music while getting ready and dancing(blare it if you have to) then you go to school keeping your head up high. Look up inspiration quotes and people who made it though hardships. My favorite is "we all want the rainbow but none of us want to put up with the rain" or something like that. Stay strong and remember you're going from hell to back. In a couple years you will fly and be away living your life. I'm sorry if this was lame or didn't help just remember stay strong and the storm only lasts for awhile because in the morning it passes over??? I'm sorry I'm not good at remembering quotes.
Aw hun, I'm sorry to hear about that. My freshmen year was like hell on earth. I got bullied daily, it sucked *** and I did try to commit suicide a few times, I couldn't handle it. But then I sought an escape, I started reading and writing more. I ignored the girls that bullied me and focused on my studies, they still taunted me and it was horrible but I never let them see that it was getting to me. I graduated high school this year. I was so happy. Honestly, you just got to stick it out. I know you're probably like how on earth can I stick it out but you can. Just do things you like to do, seek comfort in something that makes you happy. I don't think online school or homeschooling will help, in fact I think it might make you even more depressed being alone and not seeing your friends at school even if they aren't in the same class. Just stick it out, and lol don't be afraid of your teacher, just think funny thoughts about him and it'll be alright :)
Honestly, you just need to filter out the bullsh!t. If someone is making fun of you, you need to build up the courage and tell them to **** off! I used to be in this situation...you just need to stand up for yourself, then they will leave you alone.
I used to have a really mean math teacher...and I was bad at math, so he literally hated me for the two years I had him. It blew being in his class, but I survived...you will too.
Like I said, just filter out the bullsh!t. Try not to let the bad stuff get to you. Try to hang out with your friends during lunch or free periods (if you have them). Try doing things you enjoy at school...go to clubs, activities at school.
Keep your head up! :)
You really need a low end low wage dead end job that you _have_ to keep because you need to eat and pay rent in a run down apartment where you rent a room and have no privacy.
That will revise your opinion on HS
I feel the same way
School will give back one day. stay cool
