Being an outcast is not about making yourself fit in with other outcasts. It's okay if you fit in with other outcasts, but if you don't, you shouldn't force yourself. Pretending to be like other outcasts is just as bad as pretending to be like other popular people.
Some people are willing to accept the label “outcast” because they are proud to break the norms and would not want to be considered mainstream.
For these types of people, the term “outcast” is a compliment. This type of person will be an outcast because of this intentional choice to go against the grain of society. But that is not true of all outcasts, they may feel rejected or lonely.
As cliché as it is, your social position now really won't matter ten years from now. Your social ranking does not prevent you from turning your life around and doing what you want to do, whether it's now or in the future. It's crucial to realize that this, the present time, is only one part of your life, and while it may feel like a lot now, it's not going to mean a whole lot in the future.
Identify your strengths. Feeling ostracized by your peers can take a toll on your self-esteem, which isn't good for anyone, and will make your high school experience a whole lot less enjoyable. It's important to remember the good things about yourself, and know that those things are necessary parts of your self-identity. Take some time and write a list of what you're good at.
Talk to someone who can help. If being an outcast is hard for you to cope with, you don't need to suffer in silence. Find someone who you can talk to, such as a family member, a close friend, or a professional. Don't stay silent - you don't need to go through this alone.
