Im pretty sure you are talking about what is scientifically referred to as a 'weak eye muscle' and I have the same problem!.
Ive had it since I was little!.!.maybe about 9 just like you!.
I went to an eye doctor and he ran me through some tests!. he said that there was nothing he could do to stop it but I could put a patch over my good eye any time I was watching tv or something!. he also prescribed me glasses!.
I never asked about surgery because I was worried that it might make things worse!.
so my advice to you is go see an eye doctor!. the problem wont go away but your eye wont drift off as often once you follow the advice of the eye doctor!.
you are going to have to get glasses because after a while, your vision in that eye won't be as good!.
I know it is going to be difficult but you just have to ignore the people who make fun of you!. they are bullies and bullies make fun of others to hide their insecurities!. people sometimes don't accept what is different too!.
the ones who don't care about it are the ones who matter!. you will be able to have friends and those friends will like you for who you are!. they won't care about a silly eye problem!.
elementary and middle school kids can be mean!. eventually as you get older it won't matter because when you get to high school, no one will care about something as stupid as that!.
although, I don't think you will have to worry about people making fun of you as much once you see the eye doctor because when I am wearing my glasses, it seems like my eye rarely does that so they probably won't even notice it anymoreWww@Answer-Health@Com

don't get me wrong it can make me feel insecure sometimes but I have learned to live with it!.
everyone has something weird about them and your weird trait would just be your eye so always remember that you are not alone in this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its OK! I've been going through this my whole life!. I've had a lazy eye since kindergarten!. My eye doctor made me wear glasses till I was 13, then said there was nothing else he could do!. The only reason I wore glasses is so the vision in that lazy eye wouldn't shut down!. It still does it occasionally, but only when I'm tired!. I've learned to accept it! Go to your eye doctor immediately!! You don't want to go blind! If you don't want surgery, like myself, get some glasses!. You could get a cute trendy pair or something!. Anyway, this is serious if not treated correctly!. Go go go! HIH!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh swetty its ok!. I know I cant possibly imagine what you are going through, but you need to remember to be strong!. When people make fun of you its only because they have low self etseem and they are insecure about themselves!. I know its hard to be made fun of, but don't worry!. You will make friends!. I have had a similar situation and I felt the same way as you do!.Things are finally getting better for me, and I hope they will for you too!.
Be strong!! You will make it through this
