(united kingtom)

Im chloe,im only 11 years old, and my life hasnt been very good for a long time,

i have a few stories but ill tell you them all.
about 6 months ago i got a boyfriend and i dumped him Because he didnt spend enough time with me he spent more on his xbox and after i dumped him, he was alwats picking on me, calling me names, pushing me over on the play ground, he even got the rest of his friends to do the same so for abour 6 or 7 months ive been suffering from this,

aat the moment my parents are going through their divorce their always fighting and i cant bare it somtimes i just wish i wasnt alive, becasue then i guess everything would be fine, my parents would be together i wouldnt get picked on, my friends wouldnt either because its my fault they get called worse names then you can imagen because they stick up for me.

i Really dont know if i'd be here if it was'nt for my friends,id either be runnign around on the streets like a crazy person or i just wouldnt excist at all. id risk my life for them, ohh and im going of track here sorry...

i get picked on cuz i play the piano, that i wear different clothes that i like different music,

oh ive ran out of time its time for me to go to bed sorry you didnt get to hear the rest

Chloe You Rock.

Chloe. You Rock. You have it goin' on! You got
a lot goin' for you. You play the piano. You
are cool!!! At 11 it's hard to understand this
because you feel like your going to be in school
for the rest of your life. Don't let anybody get
to you. It's hard but walk away from trouble.
I'm 52 and it took me a long time to learn this.
You talk about being made fun of because you
play the piano and dress different. Don't let them
bother you. Playing an instrument and dressing
different are traits of a creative person. Trust
me after high school it doesn't matter who was
cool and who wasn't. Hang in there. You have a
lot to live for. You are somebody. Don't let
anybody take away your self esteem. You are
somebody and deserve to be treated with respect!!!
The thing about your parents...that's
tough. My parents divorced when I was in the 8th
grade. I was lucky. Even though my Mom and Dad
didn't get along they still made sure I behaved
and took an interest in my growing up. I hope
the same thing will happen for you.
Stay close to the friends who make you laugh.
People who make you laugh are worth hanging on to.
Keep your head up!!! Know that I care for you. I will pray for you. I'm not a religious
goody goody. I'm a sinner.
I should've told you first I have lived with
depression for 30 years so I can relate to you.
Smile :.) I've never done the smile thing
before. Michael

Just ignore them -- says a pianist
by: Anonymous

Chloe, can you not simply ignore whatever your ex-boyfriend and his friends do? Just take no notice of them. Don't speak to them. Pretend that you can't hear and see them as if they wouldn't exist at all. You have your own good friends - stick to them instead. I know it isn't that easy to ignore them completely, but try. They should get tired of whatever stupid things they do soon.
