Okay so yeah High School Valentine's Dance is coming up.
So I asked one of my new friends if I could tag along with people to dinner and such, I wasnt going to bother with a date or anything. I have what I need and such. She said sorry we have too many people. You cant be in our group. Okay. . . So Im getting really frustrated just once can I haev fun? Just once can I have a chance to do something without being shot down or turned away from? Seriously Whats the problem?
Im not going to revert to the fakies or anything that's an absolute no no! There seriously isnt any other group of people that Im friends with I could go with, so what am I supposed to do?
Homecoming I got in a fight with the fakies so I ended up being kicked out or outlawed from three groups two of which didnt like me, the other one they wanted couples only.
I dont understand all I want is to go to dinner with people and have a decent time. Without any drama or feuds. Seriously what did I do to be rejected so much?
Born rejected, living in rejection will die in rejection.
More than ever I wished I could have graduated early and gotten the heck outta Eden Prairie and away to college. I wish I was in college right now! Maybe my parents like to see me unhappy or they jsut dont arrgonize that Im as miserable as I am.
Hi ... take a look in your local paper to see if there is other activities going on that's also celebrating Valentines day .. even if it's something you don't know about...happiness is found within ... don't depend on the outside or other people to make you happy ...there is always something going on somewhere and you will find new friends. Is there other people (loners) that might be interesting as friends? it's best to always try to keep an open mind for new experiences and people.
Sassie,
Do not feel left out as you will be able to reflect on this in the coming years. I can tell you this, you will not always be rejected. I realize that being a teenager is tough and we have all lived through those years, trust me when I see the ones that turn there back on you now, somehow some way they will ask for forgiveness 10 years from now as they mature.
Here is my take , you definitely don't have to go with friends , go by yourself dress beautifully and hold your head high. Think of yourself as a Princess and make an elegant entrance, do not let there comments anger you, as remember it is simple jealousy that causes them to be immature. Your parents created a beautiful human being and when you look in the mirror say that, carry yourself as a young lady and overcome the rejection you can do it!! If you want to go with someone find somebody in your high school, that may want to go as well as remember you do not need the friends who are turning their back on you and stand proud. Talk to mom and dad about how you feel and I am certain that they will listen.
I am a mom and I understand, I have walked in your shoes and here I am guiding you.
This is from my friend who is also a mom on her Senior Valentine's day she did not have a date and on the High School Message board she posted that she did not have a date and if anyone interested in going please contact her, it ended that there were 50 people who joined and she ended up with 50 new friends, they went to dinner and had a great time.
Or one last take, ask your Dad if he would be your date as you do not have anyone to go with. I am certain that he would be honored and proud to go to the Valentine's Dance with such a beautiful young woman, that he calls his daughter.
FYI: Not a single parent wants to see their child unhappy and sad you will never know how much your parents love you, as I know how much I love my son and would not want to see him sad, or hurt.
Keep me posted

Thanks Proud Mom! You are my internet mom!
Anyway I did exactly what you said about holding your head high for Homecoming Dance! And MAN! I made a lot of guys and people jealous of me! It was pretty cool feeling! I think that was a really cool lesson learned! People kept saying how they wished they just showed up like me! Hah! It made me feel really good! I really felt like a Diva that night! My ex-boyfriend asked me out and I said sorry! Ima cute and single! Find someone else! Im not interested after how you treated me!
Hey was trying to kiss up to my rear end and I was like good luck buddy its not happening!
You're advice always makes me feel really good about myself! THANK YOU!
