لخّصلي

Dear Faisal,

I'm doing poorly since our move. Making friends at my new school is hard; I'm always the outsider, even after trying to be friendly. My attempts to socialize have failed, leaving me feeling down, impacting my grades and health. I've gained weight and stopped playing football. I'm isolated, spending my time studying, and playing video games alone. I feel hopeless and need advice on how to improve this situation. Please help.

Hope to see you soon, Nasser

Dear Faisal,
I hope you have had a good school year. I am sorry I haven't written sooner but it has been very busy and difficult for all of us. Moving to a different city has not been easy. I miss you and all our friends.
I have made some friends at my new school but I am still considered 'the new student' so I never get invited anywhere. I tried to invite some of my classmates during the holiday but only one turned up. The rest didn't even call to let me know that they couldn't come.
I have tried to be nice to everyone and give them and myself time to get to know each other but nothing has come of it. I have been feeling down for some time and I can't concentrate. My grades have dropped and I have gained a lot of weight because I get no exercise. They won't let me play football with them.
I feel like giving up on everything. All I do is go to school, come back home, do my homework, and play video games on my own. I don't know what to do.
If you have any tips, please write and tell me what to do and what not to do. I can't think straight any longer.
Hope to see you soon,
Nasser
