That's not pathetic.

Seriously, middle school ''sucks. ''I'm not even going to sugar coat that. Some of the worst years of my life were in middle school. High school will be better... and then college will be better after that. I know that seems like it's a super long way off, but take it from someone who's been there-- middle school is just awful. I know. Books and icecream were the most understanding things for me. And sometimes that's how it goes.

But you can let it defeat you, or you can rise above it. You can let the words of your peers (which yes, obviously hurt) define you as a loser, OR... you can rise above it. You can see that they choose to pick on you to make themselves feel better, and you can try to recognize that, and move on. I know it's hard, and seems impossible, and that this advice is something you've probably heard a hundred times... but the reason it gets repeated so much is because it's true. I didn't learn this until high school, and it made my life so much better when I finally started ignoring words from people that hurt me. Yeah, every once and awhile I'd screw up and I'd do something dumb-- but that's life. You move on.

....So that's a lot. I hope that something in there somewhere makes you feel maybe just a little bit better. :P
