I'm not sure what to say now.
But...I'm the only Jewish kid in my school/town, and always have been. I'm surrounded by Baptists who don't even know what the word "kosher" means and I'm apparently going to Hell for not loving Jesus.
My mother died when I was 16. I am diagnosed as manic-depressive. I've been a cutter since I was 12. And so, you see, I'm insane lol.

Anyway, I just want to talk to other Jewish people until I can get out of this place and go to Israel or something.

I'm not the only jew where I live, but I know how it feels to have someone say you're going to hell or not understand you.

and you're not "insane" and definitely not by the standards here, plenty of people here are going through similar things.

In any case, nice to meet you

I lived in one of those towns in North Carolina. I know how you feel I had so many anti-semetic things happen to my family and I. In fact we we are still dealing with it. So You know talk to me when ever

Ya i could kinda imagine what you're going through. I mean it's hard enough to deal with the "You're not religious enough to be hanging around my son/daughter" within my own community which is full of jews, let alone how you have to deal with people rejecting your religion completely. Stay strong and don't give in. You'll just be doing what they aimed for in the first place. Oh and my family life is really screwed up as well so I feel for you.

Oh and I'm going to Israel to escape the overcrowded setting i'm in... From what I've heard I recommend you to go if you wanna find a sense of identity and acceptance, instead of taking all that anti-semitic stuff. Good luck!
