You'd be surprised how decent some of it actually is. For example, I'm also a fan of AC/DC / Metallica (If you like those guys, you'd like Nirvana [Kurt Cobain] or Radiohead). However, rap is just poetry set to a beat; it's just a style of getting a message across. And early rap is all about poverty, racism, civil rights etc. Real struggles that people have to endure in their everyday lives. Of course, a lot of the rap that we come across nowadays is bull:daisy1:, but that's due to commercialisation and capitalism.

I'm 16, and a couple of years ago, I was in a similar situation to you. I felt crap, I thought everybody hated me, I would be a virgin forever etc. But then I realised that if people weren't going to like me because I was skinny/had glasses, then they probably weren't nice people to begin with, and therefore not worth being friends with in the first place. I found my own group of friends, and although I now go to a different school, we sometimes hang out together now, and I'm glad I met them. Two things to remember
1. People generally aren't unfriendly. People like having friends, and although you might have to make the first effort to become friends, it generally isn't that hard to maintain a friendship.
2. You may be being bullied outside of school. Best advice I ever came up with is the fact that the best way I could beat those SOBs was to persevere. To succeed. To make sure that nothing that they could do could stand in my way of achieving what I want to do. Because they will win by making sure you fail. And you can't ever let them do that.

Also, you say your parents have confiscated your xBox. Well, to quote Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life", "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" (Although considering you come from a Jewish family, I doubt you'll get the joke...Ahehehe! ). Use that as an excuse to do something with all that free time. Tbh, grades aren't really that relevant at that age. If you've got the skills to do well anyway, you'll get in gear when get older. For example, you could learn a new language, an excellent way to meet new people and learn about new cultures (After spending a week and a bit in Germany, complete with Beertents, I can tell you that girls find the exotic foreigner quite, eh, ravishing ). Or, you could practice a sport, beef up those muscles. Try out loads, you don't have to join the first one you pick. Make sure you go to every session once you've decided you like that one though. If you're tall and skinny, try running, or archery. If you're bigger, try rugby (American Football?).

And about the age you're at, I know exactly how you feel. Most of the people around you are/seem to be w:daisy1:ers, and you feel as if everybody hates you. And when it comes to girls; don't bother at that age. Srsly. Most of them are pretentious, stuck up brats at that age anyway. It takes time for them to realise that being a football player does not necessarily make for a good relationship. And when they do realise, that's when you'll come into the limelight.

Obviously, I'm not a professional psychologist. If you are still thinking of taking your own life, then please contact one of the help lines provided. However, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say and take it in.

Remember, only doubt holds you back from achieving what you should achieve.
