I'm with Fallen - the longer I live, the less I have a sense of what's normal. Also, I know it's tough to believe this sometimes, but what's "normal" or just the desired way to be in high school is not at all necessarily true in the adult world. Look at the scads and scads of very successful people who think they never really "belonged" when they were in high school. As the mother of 2 teens, I actually think that most high school students have some of the feelings you describe, at least some of the time. They just don't necessarily own up to them. I've only gone to one high school reunion but what struck me most was listening to a woman whom I always thought of as the prototypical high school success, talk about how insecure, lonely and depressed she was then.

I'm sorry your Dad is such a jerk but as time goes on you'll have to have less and less to do with him. Are you a junior or senior? One of the greatest things about college is that college environments often embrace the differences of people, and you're far more likely to find kindred spirits there.

If you're living on xanax, I assume someone is prescribing it for you. Are you in therapy? Is that an option?

Please keep posting.
