I am a grade 12 student this year. I'm suffering from depression that only I know about. It started in 2018 when I transferred here to Manila to study senior high. I am crying every night before I go to sleep. Even though I've been here in Manila for two years, I'm still not used to it. I missed my friends. I miss the island vibes. The province vibe. That's it. I miss my teachers. I'm the type of student who is super naughty. When I'm not in class, I like to tease teachers, school staff, classmates and schoolmates. Even the vendor in our canteen teases me so I get into debt sometimes, I mean always. But it changed when I moved here. I have no friends. The teachers are strict to the point that even if I say good morning in the hallway, I can't do it because I think I might be embarrassed or something like that. The vendor in the cafeteria is so rude that you think the food is delicious at the price of gold. It's just so different from my old life. Add to that the people I was close to before. They don't pay attention to me anymore. It's depressing. I'm trying to reach out to them but I feel like the replies are super pushy. So, I stopped. I stopped reaching out. My extroversion before was replaced by my introversion here. That's what I cried about every night before. And then there's my adjustment here in Metro Manila and the difficult subjects
