Hello all

I'm 15 and struggling with social anxiety disorder, and get bullied at school. I don't like social activities like having a walk in the city, and going to school is hell... Sometimes in our schools changeroom, the psychically hurt me, or during class when our teacher is gone for a few minutes. Sometimes they throw stuff at me. I just can't take it anymore, every day before I go to bed, I pray to let all the bullying and anxiety stop, but it hasn't worked so far, but I will keep going. I feel so hopeless and sad, and I don't know what to do. I have no one outside the internet to talk about this, my parents don't understand me, and I went to a therapist before and it was horrible and hasn't worked at all.

Talk to the head of the school. Talk to a teacher. Find a friend. Don't hide your feelings, cry if you have to.

In USA bullying is done over social media. Many schools are proactive against it.

Your parents and a therapist not able to help you?

Okay, in 2 years it will go away. The school bullying will.

Try to do something different. Join a team, learn a sport. Maybe take up track, karate, weight training.

Pray. Meditate. Be with Christians.

You are a courageous and strong person.

I feel terrible hearing what you experience.

Remember, God loves you. Always. He loves you and you are dear to Him. You are valuable. Highly esteemed by Him.

I do agree with what Galahad had said.ALL prayers work. There is no prayers that are useless. Maybe nothing happens after you pray, but sometimes, in some cases, it takes time. Trust me, God is working in you at this moment, although it seems that He stays silent. So, keep praying because He is listening to you .

Can I invite you to chat in the teen room. Its hard to say much in a post. The only thing I'll say here is dont give up on the counsellor/therapist. If one didnt work for u find one that will - u need some practical skills and maybe some help with whats going on inside u too

He Dani,

Dat zuigt echt :( Hoelang heb je er al last van? Anyway, er moet iets aan veranderen.
Heb je gedacht aan een andere klas of zelfs school? Waarom pesten ze je, als ik dat mag vragen? Sorry misschien een stomme vraag, maar misschien kunnen we je hier helpen. Heb je iemand thuis in de buurt waar je mee kunt praten? Een broer, zus, vriend, iemand die je een beetje vertrouwd en je hopelijk begrijpt? Het zou kunnen helpen en hopelijk iets kunnen veranderen.

Ik zal voor je bidden en voor je hopen :)
Channa

If it's any consolation right now, I felt exactly the same way when I was 15. It will completely change in the next 3 years. Hold on and have a little comfort in the fact that it will change.

I'll be back later to talk some more if you like. got to go now.

The BIBLE tells us to 'be ye anxious about nothing.." I would say that a cupfull of self esteem is in order for you. One little ounze of it would work miracles..and you can get it free when you surrender that anxiety over to JESUS CHRIST and tell HIM 'LORD, take this burden from me and carry it for me..I do not need it anymore..!!!

You can't tell someone with anxiety disorder to not just have it. It doesn't work that way. Addictions and disorders just don't go away after saying some little prayer. If that was the case, I'd think a lot of innocent rape victims suffering from PTSD, new mothers suffering from post partum depression, and many others would have done that already.

I agree with you completely. I give my anxiety over to Jesus everyday and then He helps me to deal with it. It just doesn't simply disappear.
