My name is Heather and I am 15 years old. My dad has stage 4 Lung cancer and hasn't got very long left to live. I have been trying to go to school and do work like normal, however, many people at school are very spiteful towards me. It all happened when I didn't invite someone over due to my dad being on chemotherapy and covid was still bad then. This one girl has now befriended a lot of other rude girls who gang up on me, just doing relatively small things, but sometimes the small things can hurt the most. I cant speak about things to them right now, there are so many reasons why, but all I know is that talking to these girls is not an option. I have been having panic attacks at school just from the thought of going to these classes with these girls in. None of the girls know that the latest news about my dad isn't good, I don't know if that would make them nicer or meaner. The only person that knows about my dad that I have told in my school is a teacher's assistant, who I only spoke to briefly when he found me crying in class. Everywhere I go, these girls are staring at me, whispering and laughing. I fear to go to school tomorrow and I have no idea what to do.
Any advice would be amazing, I am a very introverted person which is why I haven't told many people.
Thank you,
Heather.
