How Do you Get Over School Depression?

Question

I am 17 and I am a senior. The thing is, I changed to a new school half way through last year and I am still feeling depressed here. The school I went to before I had a great girl friend, lots of friends, and I had a lot of fun. Now, I can't even get anyone to talk to me. I approach people and try to talk to them and be myself, yet they treat me like an outsider. I am really trying and being nice and people are just treating me badly. I am a preppy guy and although this school is only like 20 miles away from my old one, it feels totally different. I wear mostly: AE, A&F, and stuff from Belks. I dated a girl at my old school for 5 months and she was my special girl and I can't seem to find a girl like her; where as, If I was still at my old school, finding a girl like her would be easy and usually they would come talk to me first.

Answer 1

Don't try to find another girl like her. Find another girl who will appreciate you for who you are. Maybe you shouldn't talk to the preppy people, because they obviously won't accept you anytime soon if they haven't already. Talk to the people with converse and funky hair. Those are my kind of people, and they accept EVERYONE. You don't have to change anything about you. (If they're the right people) You don't have to show off for them. At least not here in Buffalo!

Answer 2

be yourself talk to the people there like they were your old friends.

hang out. laugh. enough it.

hey theres only one year left , make it count!

Answer 4

Time. It's hard and it hurts, but time will fix things. But talk to your parents and tell them how you are feeling. Maybe they can help some how. But try to keep busy. It's hard to feel depressed when you don't have time to think about it. Spend some time on your school work. If you do good on your SATs you probably will end up happy with your job in the future. Try a hobby and a sport. You feel fine soon......

Answer 5

Just give it a couple more months for people to warm up to you, keep being outgoing try and know a few people get invited to parties and stuff.  

Answer 6

awhh i feel so bad for you ):

have any relatives that live within your old school district?

maybe you could move in with them - just till next years graduation.

if not, join the drama club, a sport, spanish club, anything.

Answer 7

Why did you have to finish with your old girlfriend because you moved schools? Your old school is only 20 miles away. I used to travel 20 miles on a bus to my old school every day! Why don't you try going back? Alternatively see this as a test, who cares what they think about you? Do you think when you were popular at your old school you might've outcast some people too? Maybe people are seeing you as not being yourself, but being a bit 'fake'. Don't see yourself as a 'prep' but as a person. It's easy when you have lots of friends and are popular to follow the crowd, but I think you're being given an opportunity now to find out who you are. People don't usually ignore others for the sake of it, and if they do, they're idiots. Maybe it's time for some self-analysis?

Answer 8

yep yep,my school sucks too,and Im only 14 everyone here is racist,and makes fun of me,but w.e,and If your being nice and people are treating you badly.then you don't need those people,they will only bring you down,this girl your talking about,have you thought about keeping In contact with her?,tried to get back with her?,If not Im sure you can find a girl at your new school,trust me even If things suck now,they can only get better,If you have a good attitude and don't let people bring you down.and you know what?Who cares what you wear,If people don't like you for your clothes,then they are missing out on A lot,you seem like a really nice guy,and If no one else can see that then **** them.

Answer 12

First things first, I think you need to deal with the way you're approaching this whole situation. Instead of thinking 'my old school was better,' you need to concentrate on your new school. If people are shunning you, then you shouldn't force conversation or anything. You probably don't want to be friends with people like that anyway if they're immature enough to shun you and treat you like an outsider. Concentrate on becoming better friends with the people that you do talk to, and I'm sure there are a few. Even if they just say hi or sit near you in lessons, that's a starting point and I'm sure things will get better. You just need to take your time. Understand that people already know each other well and that's the reason why they may be shunning you. It probably isn't anything to do with the way you look or dress. Just be yourself.

Answer 13

Be a bad ***...Everyon will wanna be your friend.

Answer 14

Sorry dude,

if u only live 20 miles away, you can still keep your friends from your old school, and just keep trying to make friends here, you will find you clique soon enough. What happened to  your girlfriend? did u two break up becasue u moved? becuase if so thats stupid, u only live 20 miles away! But if its for a dif reason then im sorry. but just keep trying to make new friends and you dont allways have to have a girl friend, stop worrying about it! Loosen up and keep trying to make some friends!

Answer 15

Either switch to a different school, or join in extra activities or sports.

Answer 16

Well maybe they're not talking to you cos you wear American Eagle stuff and A&F cos kids at my H.S. dont really talk to the kids that are like that either, its just how they are. Dude you should try clubs and c**p you could make new amigos there! And if not try finding kids who are like you, or who yo uthink are like you!

Sorry to hear its like that for you! Everything will get better man dont worry!! =)

Answer 17

GO BACK TO YOUR OLD SCHOOL IF YOU LIKED IT SO MUCH WHY DID YOU CHANGE.. AND JUST DONT WORY WAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU ITS NORMAL TO FEEL DIFFERENT AROUND PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW LIKE IVE CHANGED SCHOOLS  4-5 TIMES IN MY LIFE AND IM SO USE OF IT BUT I STILL ENDED UP WITH FRIENDS AND BEING POPULAR JUST GIVE IT TIME AND BE YOURSELF AND STOP ACTING EMO

Answer 18

Dont even worry about it, this is you last year make that your main focus. I understand how you feel but dont let the other students get to you. You came this far & i dont think you should let something like friends spoil your sprites for your last year.Besides at least your old school is not that far away you can allways see your other friends. Good luck i hope eveything works out for you. Be for you know it your school years will be over, have fun!

Answer 19

Well why do you need another girl if you already have one? You're only 20 miles away, remember? If she's so great, then she'd still be your girl no matter what school you go to. There is really nothing you can do to MAKE people like you or talk to you. Just be yourself or try striking up a conversation with someone in a class you might have something in common with. Have you tried playing a school sport or joining a school club? That might help. And remember, you are a senior. You don't have much longer to go at all before you are out of high school. After that, there is no such thing as the popular crowd or feeling like an outsider. All that c**p goes away.
