Answers: HI Shania,
Oh Geez...my daughter is 14 and is going through alot of the same things you are it sounds. Crying is no shame..sometimes we girls just have to do it to make us feel a little better and it helps release our stress and anxitey.
All of these emotions you are feeling right now are completly normal. Being 13 isn't easy in itself then throw in school, family, friends..or lack of them etc. Can you talk to your mom about things? Do you feel comfortable? I know it's awkward sometimes but I'm sure your mother loves you dearly and would do anything in her power to help you if she knew.
I just had to try and talk with my daughter about school and she has some girls hating her right now and stuff. I had her promise me that she would tell me if she ever felt threatened or bullied in school. This is one thing sweetie if your dealing with that kind of crap you really need to talk with your mom.
I bet you'll be surprised of things she'll tell you she went through back when she went to school too. Us parents today are a bit more concerned though because it seems sometimes people want to bully or gang up on girls today..
that's where you need to trust your mom and try and talk with her about some things. I think if you do, you'll be really surprised and feel better too! It's also normal to get angry too
I'm sure you have alot going on and if you need to email me privately about anything that's okay too....please take care and hang in there...don't be too hard on yourself....you're only growing up and it's not an easy thing! :) SMILE!!!!!
Love,
Eileen
