Being Ignored

Hi my name is Elizabeth and here is my story…
I was always the introverted quiet one I never had many friends in my early childhood. I had my family and that was about it. Now in the earlier years I was a bit of a trouble maker, so I had to pull the yellow card often. I was lonely and bored. I honestly don’t remember what I even did. In second grade I moved to another school. There for a good month or so I also had no friends. I made a very sweet friend there. My first ever. The problem is that the other girls were very manipulative.
When I came back to school, I had a very bad teacher. She would yell at me and get mad. It was so bad that I went home crying every night for a pretty large amount of the third quarter. I left and went back to my original school and was reintroduced to another great friend. Bullying was not happening at this point and we spent that summer with each other. I was mad that she seemed to not care about me, so I left.
Fourth grade came round and I am still at this school. I made no “friends” here. They would insult me on everything and were pretty bad. 5th grade I got myself into some uncomfortable situations (online). I started developing a depression. The friends didn’t help.
The next year I started middle school. I was not organized at all. That made me not want to do my home homework (Oh yeah and I’m lazy, not gonna lie) That impacted my grades and i thought i was stupid. By now my friends changed into two lovely girls. In the middle of the year, In the locker room those girls and two others bullied me and picked on me. I had my two friends there with me even though when I left I was crying. (I almost never cry in public) Later on that year I was in class about ready to get about my body and how “fat” I was.
Seventh grade now with two more weeks left, I have improved in my thinking through learning about God more and more. I have been silently bullied by the whole class this year. I know how to deal with it now, but sometimes I still do end up crying on my bed at night. I have told my parents and school counselor about them. How they inch away slowly when I sit by them and when they avoid me at nearly any cost. When they scowl at me and even my friends parents and siblings saying that I put it on myself” somehow.
I have it handled so don’t worry, but I want you to know that people ignoring you and avoiding you IS NOT OKAY! YOU NEED TO TELL SOMEONE. No matter how useless it may seem to you.
