I really don't know how to get this through people but please, leave a name. If you've taken the trouble to write an extra long comment, which I appreciate really, please leave a name.

Anyways, thanks for the comment. I just don't really think people ought to find or seek support. I mean, I've hit brick wall after brick wall trying that path so why shouldn't take a little less populated route? I mean, sure, no one's a COMPLETE loner in this world, but I think that having the few loyal friends is more important than trying to get the general school body to like you. There simply isn't time to worry about being liked or not. By the time it comes to that, it'll be your literature teacher worrying about giving you a pass or a fail grade.

I communicate and try to get along with people, but sometimes I feel that their attempts are a bit fake. They talk to you, give you presents etc... Like last year when I was one of the new kids, they tried. But other than birthdays they quite let it slide. I know that because I somehow keep getting left out with the same folks for groupwork. You can try but seriously, maneuvering from last table to the middle of the class is no mean feat. You're already in the "we-have-no-space-for-you-category".

Sometimes, especially when year-end-examinations are drawing near, you've got to cast aside all these sort of worries and let the Lord deal with everyone else's gossip. You can never tell who's talking about you and who's loyal in school,for sure at least. I can't help it if someone thinks I'm not doing my part for a group or the team. When someone wants to go over and above the requirements, I say, go ahead. But you can't expect everyone to follow you. With the bare requirements some people aren't helping, much less the extra.
