I know it's tough man, but high school doesn't last forever. I know it's hard to believe, but after high school you'll meet so many people and you won't even see the people you went to high school with.
Stay strong man, and be yourself...and congrats on the 15 pounds man !

Any advice I could give you would violate the TOS. Stop worrying about what people think of you and have fun.

Who gives a what anyone thinks? I tell people I love wrestling and used to collect figures. Maybe you have a handful of friends because you're insecure? Does anyone say, "hey fatass." I mean if people aren't picking on you in the first place, why do you feel this way? I'm trying to say this in the nicest way.

Ok so I'm a sophomore in High School. I suck at school and I'm failing 2 classes barely passing the rest. I only have about a handful friends because apparently no one else wants anything to do with me. It feels all my teachers hate me and think I'm nothing but a scum bag. I'm over weight but are trying to change that and have already lost 15 pounds this year. I'm now looked upon as a psychopath because I went ballistic in my Spanish class when i failed yet another quiz and stormed out of class. In my gym class i don't go swimming on Fridays because I don't want to take my shirt off. My gym class makes me feel like even more of a loser because they put me in a class with pure athletes and of course I'm the biggest one there. But I still kick ass in any sport I play. I don't tell anyone my true dream of being involved in the wrestling business because I fear of being ridiculed. And even if I did want to be a wrestler I couldn't because I have two 6 inch screws in my hip. I also have to hide my hobby of collecting wrestling figures in fear of being made fun of. I can't even buy a wrestler at the local Kmart because kids from my school work there. So everyday I wake up and I feel like I am an immature crazy dumb fat kid. So what should I do? And if you were wondering I'm not going to harm myself in anyway for I am a better person than that. Thank you for taking your time to read my pointless rant and any comments are appreciated. Thanks. I'm going to put this as lightly as I can. I see how high school can be tough. Little cliques here and there, obviously it can be tough to fit in. However, you need to understand that there is a reason for everything that happens to you. Look at the reasons why maybe you aren't doing well in school. Are you playing too many video games or watching too much TV that prevents you from finishing homework or studying for tests? Or maybe something just isn't clicking and you need extra help. When it comes to your teachers hating you, I can tell you this much; teachers are very biased. They aren't supposed to be, but they are. Once again, there needs to be a reason for this. Take a look at your behaviour or those around you. If the people around you are disruptive then you're guilty by association. If you're disrupting class after failing tests or talking during lessons with your friends then teachers take note of this and unfortunately you do becomes depicted as a bad seed. Being overweight isn't always a character flaw, however in high school, it straight up ing blows mad goats. Girls are superficial and want the jocks or...well basically anyone skinny. I've been there, seen it and experienced it. I can also relate to not wanting to go swimming in gym class because I was ashamed of my body. The big thing you need to remember though is while kids can be ass clowns, they aren't always mean to people just because they're fat. Yes sometimes that's the case, but might there be another reason you don't get along with them? I had some friends and a lot of acquaintances in school. Non of them to my knowledge gave me a hard time because of my weight. This is because I was kind to them. Mutual respect goes a long way. I also didn't have a chip on my shoulder because they were skinny and I wasn't (I'm not saying you have a chip on your shoulder, either). At the end of the day it's up to you to get in shape. If you want to be a part of the wrestling industry then do what you can to be involved. Even if you can't wrestle, look at what else you can do to be a part of it. Referee, commentator, setting up the ring, etc...who knows where it could lead, but don't let that be the only thing you can do in life. As almost all wrestlers say, have a back-up plan in case wrestling doesn't fall through. You say that you feel immature. Dude, you're a sophomore in high school. You're allowed to be immature. Growing up is for college. Stay a kid for as long as you can, because I'm sure as hell trying to. One day you'll wake up and then you'll know it's time to "grow up". But until that day comes, just try to enjoy how simple life is in high school. And try to not let anything bring you down that can be easily forgotten as time goes on. It's totally up to you to change the perceptions that people have of you, whatever they may be.

Are you worried about what others think of you? Don't be! Just take pride in yourself for who you are. Don't listen to bullcrap people give you at school (That's if they do!).

In all seriousness, tell your parents that you want to see a psychiatrist.

And if you were wondering I'm not going to harm myself in anyway for I am a better person than that.Only bad people self harm? I can understand why you'd have a problem with admitting that you want to be a wrestler/buy figures, a friend of mine used to get a lot of, relativley harmless, abuse for it. My advice would be that there's no problem with confiding in people you know you can trust and who know you well, Friends, Parents etc. if you haven't already. They'll probably be able to help you a lot more than anyone on WF (Unless cutting off your leg or RKOing someone sounds like a good idea to you?). Well done on losing the weight, as long as you genuinley wanted to.

EMBRACE THE HATE!!!
Jk, I just had to do that.
But anyway, school is useless and is just for people to ridicule and make fun of you because quite a lot of people there are no life scumbugs who deserve to be beaten to death. So there is nothing to do but be miserable and wait for it to be over.

This seems less like a rant, and more like "Please feel sorry for me". And I'm not saying that to be a dick, I'm saying that because based on what you've typed, I've been in your shoes. Hell, that sounds just like something I would have typed around that time in my life.
That stuff will scar you for life, but only if you let it. Get involved in something you do like and that the people around you like you. Personally, I got involved in theatre and just did that for most of my 4 years.
The other thing is confidence. There isn't a person in that school, on this board, or in the world that would have confidence in you if you don't. It's similar to the idea of not being to love anyone else truly until you learn to love yourself. Until you learn to either be ok with who you are, or make the changes to become the person YOU want to be, you'll be stuck in the same place thinking the same things.

Be whoever the hell you want to be. I'd go to that K-Mart and buy all of the figures there. (Not literally all of them)
