A

I am a straight A student. I am a Christian and follow good moral beliefs. Every teacher or adult I’ve encountered has always complemented me and my parents on my behavior. But throughout middle school, it has been very difficult making and keeping friends. I moved here in 2018 so I knew literally nobody and had to start on a clean slate. I was very social in sixth grade but over the span of two years I have lost my social outlook and have become an introvert. I switched schools in 2019 and I have a lot of regrets. I have found people who I can joke around with and sit with at lunch but I’m not sure if I would consider them friends. Nearly everyone in my school has moral beliefs contrary to mine and many kids flaunt about illegal and overall bad things. I feel horrible being surrounded by such negative influences on a daily basis. I start high school soon and although there are people I can joke and talk with, i don’t know if they would consider me a friend and I am horrified at the thought of being in a large high school literally all by myself. I don’t know what to do and I already have Generalized Anxiety Disorder so the stress is nearly doubled. No one likes the music I like, nor any of my interests besides my sense of humor. I constantly worry about what others think and I know I’m trailing off but I’m just scared. Please give me any advice that could help me because I’m addition to having anxiety and being anti social, I definitely do not want to be left out. Thank you 

Hi, I need some advice on how to talk to my parents and ask them if I can do virtual school this year. For the past 2-3 years, I've been attending public school in my county, and I do not enjoy it whatsoever. There is a TREMENDOUS amount of bullying and bad influences (vaping and drugs) that I don't like being around on a daily basis. I am constantly a target of bullying and no one sticks up for me or supports me. I do not fit in well at all, as we live in a country area and I enjoy city clothing styles and "city" music. I also have severe social anxiety, so starting new conversations and talking to new people is nerve-wracking for me. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected my school system for the worst. Everything is posted online and is extremely confusing and hard to follow. Rather than being able to work on my own pace, I am either having to slow down or speed up beyond my abilities. I have been extremely stressed out for these past couple of weeks and I have been emotionally hurt these past couple of years. I feel like virtual school is my only other option, and I don't mind doing it, either. Staying at home and not worrying about other people tormenting me or making me miserable everyday. How can I talk with my parents about possibly enrolling me in a virtual schooling system?

There is a Instagram account of a 13 year old kid at my school who was vaping on his account. He has been warned by our schools Student Resource Officer, yet he has continued to vape. Is there anyway I can report his account anonymously without having to worry about talking to police or confronting him? I want nothing to do with this at all besides the anonymous report

So my parents have really been pushing me to do sports that I absolutely hate. I appreciate them caring about my physical health but I am in no way obese or have any health threats. Im a big nerd who cares about my studies and loves to do science and engineering but my parents keep pushing the annoying American tradition of sports. I’ve never really been entertained or found any interest in sports, so I try to skip out on them, but my parents sign me up to sports I 

A.) Dislike and have no knowledge about             B.) Cannot physically perform

Is there any way possible I can convince my parents to stop making me do sports and let me focus on doing school and educational things?

So about 8 months ago my dad made the drastic decision without consulting my family to contact the landlord of a 1959 haunted looking farmhouse that had been owned by 10’s of owners and abused for absolutely no smart reason. This house was in and still is in terrible condition, with cracked ceilings, smelly carpets, creepy outdated appliances that freak everyone out, weird floor plans, ugly small rooms, moldy windowsills, and probably other underlying problems as well. We moved from a beautiful home in a good neighbor and area to some isolated shack with no life around us, and I use these words because thats what people looking at it on the road would see. I also say it because no body in my family except my dad likes this house at all. It is a creepy, abused, trashed house that is ugly and has problems and should be burned to the ground. But for some reason he saw potential in it and told us we would renovate. 8 months pass and not a freaking thing has been done. Nicer, newer houses nearby in the area are selling for around the same price as this haunted house, but my dad apparently does not like modern homes, and would rather make all of us miserable and embarrassed of our own home and move us into some rotting ugly house. I know this seems harsh but does anyone have any suggestions on what I should say because my family and I hate it here and we want a good home we want to live in and want to call our home, not some place we wish would fall to rubble.

So for the past few weeks I have been starting to notice that I am getting slightly lower grades than usual on several math and science assignments. I am a 7th grade, all A's, BETA club member that has really been pressured to maintain a high GPA lately. But for some reason, classes that other students seem to be just blowing by like a breeze are rather hard and challenging for me. It seems like the methods to solving things become different everyday and everyone else seems to know it. I have also been bullied A TON recently for my appearance and my higher grades, but I am unsure if that is contributing to this slight decline. While I am still getting all A's, it's hard to be proud of your grades when other children are bragging about their extremely high GPA's and class grades, and it makes my 98 compared to their 100 feel like a 0. I don't know if I'm lacking self confidence or what, but this drop is concerning me, and I want to try to bring it up as much as possible. ANY tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading, and have a good day.
