But it is not as simple as that, there are millions of teenagers feeling exactly like you do, and an even bigger proportion of adults feeling worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Choosing to go on meds because of this feeling is not going to turn you into a swan with unbelievable social skills that will be admired and discussed by your peers, no. Perseverance in trying to achieve some peaceful state of mind will do, trying to achieve what your personal goals might be will do, continuosly re-adjusting your being to those surroundings you feel like hating so much will do, and the same for the people who never seem to get you.
That is something that isn't weird or unacceptable, it's something that is common occurance for most people since entering teenagehood. Suffocating such feelings with artificial help is not going to resolve much apart from messing up with your head. Unless, of course, the problem is of a different nature altogether.

I have re-quoted my own post because I think someone hasn't read it properly. Also, I did assume Alien Anal was in his late-teens, so pointing out that he is a 20 year old isn't going to make a huge difference, or is it?
In response to slavo's post: I didn't say that everyone is the same or goes through the same experiences, but the feeling that I have described in the post above is a fairly common one amongst teenagers, and yes, in some cases also in people past their teens. It is a generalisation not based on accurate facts but statistics, where a phenomenon isn't an accurate picture of every single person, but a sweeping representation of a large sample of any given population' habits and behaviour.
