Help me please?

Question:

I am a freshman in high school, and just recently moved to this town. The whole town is obsessed with sports. I absolutely hate sports. I love music and art, but no one in this school is interested in any of that. I've had this social anxiety problem since 6th grade, and I can't stand it. No one in school talks to me, and I can't get up the courage to even say hi to people. I'ts like my voice is lost, and when I do speak it doesn't some out the way I want it to. I'm sick of being a loner and feeling depressed. Theres been a lot of family issues in my home, and I strongly believed that has helped influence the problem. I don't want to talk to my dad about this problem at all, I've tried, he just doesn't get it. I think he is worried about doctors putting me on meds. He doesn't want medication to harm me, whether it be addiction, or just harming my body in general. Any advice would be great. Please don't say join clubs, band. I didn't like band, tried it. Clubs r all sport

Answers:
Hey, I've been there. I moved during my senior year. One of your other questions said you're in a band. Are they friends that you can talk to? Otherwise, could you talk to a school counselor? I bet there are other guys that are going through the same thing.

yeah, highschool sucks. please don't listen to anyone who tells you to adapt or try to like sports. please please be who you are. i went through this same thing, and i finally had to decide that as long as i had 1 friend, i was okay. but even if i had none, i had a plan too. i would just study during lunch! but i would not be anyone but myself. so slowly i found people just like me. they didn't like popular things, and we would eat lunch together. by the end of highschool i had friends in every class. so just be true to who you are, and people will respect that!
