Right now, I'm in a different country.
A compeltely different place than I've ever been in before.
They do different things, their school is different, their attitude is different, their language is different.
Myself, a Canadian/American, am in Taiwan, so to speak.
And now I'm being shunned. Bullied, for the first time in my life.
And I feel like

Actually, I haven't. Because I don't want them to worry? Wait, I suppose there's a more selfish reason. Because then they'll take me back to Canada, and as strange as this sounds, at the very least I wanna get through this year. I want to finish what I started. I don't want to start, but end in the middle because I'm too weak. Thank you for your encouragement --- this lightens my heart a little :)

I don't really know what to say, because I can't imagine in what kind of situation you are right now. All I can say is that you can't give up because of this. It's really heart-breaking to read something like this, and I hope that everything will work out in the end.

Don't keep all your frustrations and sadness to yourself. Maybe you could talk to your parents or your friends back home about this?

I know it's hard to look at the bright side of things, when everything's going wrong. But do remember that you have family and friends who'll support you no matter what :).

I remember saying that to a friend of mine --- a long time ago. She was so happy she hugged me. I suppose I understand that emotion now. As crazy as this sounds, I haven't actually thought of talking to my parents or my friends back at home. I've kinda kept this pent up inside, but it feels good to let it out. Thanks
