What should I do (details inside)?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I was in the military when I was young. What I heard everyone say was, “Hey, it’s basic training. You can do anything for 3 months,” which is how long our training camp was. Stick it out. See if you can find a book to read or a quiet activity (art pad and colored pencils for example) for those times when you’re alone, and stop thinking about them so much. My whole childhood was pretty much as you describe. It wasn’t fun, but I managed, and you can too. To get through this with poise, you’ll need to shift your focus onto things other than “friends” who aren’t really friends.
