You know, there are some kids that really piss me off. REALLY PISS ME OFF. Let me give you an example.
There's this kid at my church, who's name starts with a S and ends with a -unbae/ik. Well, see, I don't know how everything got started, but this kid, for some random reason started to hate me. I don't know why, but this loser of a kid, started to make my "church life" as miserable as possible. Let me give you a description of "S-unbae/ik"
S-unbae/ik was born in Korea. He then illegally crossed the Pacific Ocean, and then somehow got to San Diego. S-unbae/ik was first a small, rat-looking skinny kid, who quickly gained weight. He quickly acquired the english language. With all things considered, he did pretty darn well. By age 13-15, he had the weight, size, and facial structure of a small manatee. Somehow, he gained the upper hand in church, and somehow, he got the other kids to dislike me.
Now by age 16, he has successfully repressed me. I have a frighteningly few friends at church, and the majority has a very bad view of me, quite contrary to my life outside of church. Everytime I go to church, I have to deal with S-unbae/ik and his cronies as they talk behind my back (or directly), make up stupid stories about me, and spread rumors with no truth in them. S-unbae/ik somehow was lucky enough to join his school's lacrosse team, and he is using that as a way to get to the kids at my school and tell them how stupid I am. I cannot feel normal and act myself at church. I cannot be myself. I cannot be the real me. I cannot be myself because of S-unbae/ik and all the things that have gone wrong. Because of my low status at church, everyone at church thinks that I have no friends, which is entirely not true. They think I am some emo kid who nobody likes. I bear the comments they make with no emotion, but really, I have been in constant psychological pain for the past 5 years. Basically, my life at church is miserable.
I have often considered moving churches. There are other churches that I could go, but I cannot go, because I do not have my own car, and my parents are unwilling to drive to that church, drop me off, and then go to the regular church.
On the contrary, my life outside of church is great. I chill with my friends a lot, do lots of cool shit, and just have a great time. I'm a regular Jekyl and Hyde. Happy, energetic, and outgoing outside of church, and secluded, forlorn, and rejected at church. I feel really awkward when I step into the church building. Everyone calls church a "family." I can see where this could be true, but, currently, it is not for me.
I keep on telling myself, I only have 2 more years till college. Only 2 more years. And yet, 2 years is 2 years. 2 years is a lot of time. 2 years is a long time to be made fun of constantly.
I feel that most of the friends I have outside of church are more "Christian" than some of the ones inside my church. Most of my friends have better morals than people at my church such as S-unbae/ik and his accomplices in lowering self esteem.
I feel the best way to resolve this is to become friends with S-unbae/ik. I have tried, and each try as failed. I also tried to initiate some sort of come back, some sort of revenge. That also failed because of my conscience. I don't really know what to do. I don't want it to stay this way for 2 years. What would you do?
