    Hi

    About 3 months ago i moved from london to kent. A very big change. So fo corse i have left all my friends and family behind. Including my bf. I have strted a new school but finding it very hard to settle in. It feels like i dont belong there or fit in. Partly because i have a very strong acent and i find over peoples acent hard to understand because im not used to it. Also  im being bullied and suffering from depression. I really miss everyone in london and i cant forget about them. does anyone have any advice? plz help .

    Hello  i am sorry to hear your having a really hard time . To start with BULLYING IS VERY WRONG AND THIS IS NOT RIGHT! you need to talk to someone such as a parent or a teacher ? so they can put a stop to this! i know how it feels to be bullied by people as my school teachers and the pricipal are doing this to me at the moment but i have posted a post on school boards to about whats happing .

    Depression is very tough time to deal with i know how your feeling are you having any support ? or have you spoken to someone about this who can acess you help and support ?If not i would suggest you talk to a GP your mum i know it can be very hard to talk to somone but once you are in the convo it gets alot easier so please tell somone dont let it get worse for you like it did with me when i took a year to tell people ! 

     I was wandering have you got your feinds msn emails address where you can still stay in contact with them or mobile no and maybe in the holidays you all could meet up ?

    If you are not setteling into school what about trying to talk to an teacher about helping you make some really nice freinds and providing you with the right support and help it must be tough for you but there is people who will be able to help you will all of this what your going through you need to talk to someone who you can trust ! 

    Here if u want to talk some more! 

    Talk soon

    I'm an expert on on this topic as I've recently joined my 11th school.  The key to getting used to a new school is quite simply you. This doesn't mean that if you can't settle in there's somthing wrong with you, it just means that your actions and words matter just as much as anybody else's, if not more.

    If you are finding it hard to make friends it might be because you are waiting for them to 'make the first move' towards friendship. On the other hand if you are trying too hard to make friends, the person you are trying to make friends with might feel overwhelmed, or even ambarrased.

    But the most important thing is this: Just keep smiling!
