Really bad first week at seventh grade!! Help?

Question

Yeah. I just started 7th grade on Tuesday and my best friend ditched me, my teachers/classes kinda suck, and none of the people that I'm kinda friends with are in my classes. I left early on the first day because I couldn't handle it and the entire first week after I got home I would cry practically all night b/c I didn't want to go back. It's a 3 day weekend and I do NOT want this to happen again! I always end up wishing I was just at home, and not in the awkward, lonely situation where everyone thinks I'm the emo loner that I was last year, when last week was just a bad week. Help?!?

Answer 1

Even though it probably doesn't seem like it now, things will get easier for you.  The "thought" that helped me through my doubts was knowing that I was in school for myself, and not for anyone else.  Don't get me wrong, you don't want to seem like a loner, unless you care to act that way.  Once you understand that you almost have to treat school as a job, it will be a lot easier for you.  And that includes meeting new friends.  Just remember, your best friend is probably going through the same things as well.
