But ever since grade 7 started I've been really sad and lonely. I think all of my friends hate me because they don't really even talk to me. But since I'm in grade 8 now I've realized I'm all alone. I'm always alone at recess and no one even comes up to me. I wanna runaway. Should I runaway?

 Hey girl, don't run away that will not solve anything and in fact make things worse. You may not know it but so many people care about you and they would be heartbroken to find out you are gone.
I know how you feel though, when I was your age I was really shy too, I sat all alone at the lunchtable and was never invited to birthday parties. I was a 'nerd'and studied a lot and just minded my own business. At times I did wonder if people hated me because nobody ever talked to me but that was not the case and is probably not the case with you. I found out that others really liked me when I recieved a scholarship for college and everybody came up to me and congratulated me. I always had my friends there for me even though they did not talk much to me. The reason why your friends might not talk much to you is because you don't talk too much to them. Try being a little more open and break out of your shell, it can change your life.
I broke out of my shell and I have many friends right now who talk to me
Feel better. If you ever want somebody to talk to, you can talk to me.=)

It is the same way to treat bullies, i know this isnt what you are talking about, but the situation had to be sorted out there and then. Have you spoken to your parents or a close relative about how you feel? How about a word with a teacher who you can relate to? You need to get these feeling off your chest and spoken about. I know it isnt a solution but how about moving to another school, could you do that? Let me know how you get on, you could mail me if you want a chat.
take care.xx

I'm sorry that you're sad and lonely but running away won't solve anything.But about your friends why don't you try to make some kind of effort to speak to them. You try being the one who goes up to them to make friends with them instead of them trying to make friends with you. Perhaps they thought that you didn't like them anymore so they didn't speak to you? Or perhaps they are and your imagination and self-doubt are taking over you.So try to get over it. Be more confident. You try talking to people and they'll be friendly to you. I know that its hard, especially because you're shy - but have a go.You won't ever be all alone. You'll always have some friends and family - perhaps not always with you, but often with you. Imagine what worry they'd have to go through if you ran away. Don't do that to them.Hope everything gets better soon. x x x

dont run away! what would that solve? where would you go? how would you get money? im sure your parents would be worried sick. you know running away is not the answer.
talk to your parents, if you are feeling depressed, they can always take you to go see a counselor and/or get on medication.
just remember the light at the end of the tunnel. everything happens for a reason and this will make you stronger later in life.
hope i helped a bit!

 No you shouldn't. Things really seem hopeless when you're always sad and lonely but you gotta keep holding on, however long it takes for things to get better. Things will get better. Go talk with friends or find something you like to do. You have a home and a family. Go to them for love and support. Talk to them about your problems and feelings.

 You know i know this is not an easy age of life. but i went through that as well. was always a shy kid, making freinds is never easy. but why'd you feel shy what makes you feel uncomfertable with tlaking to people?
running away.. when people run away form their problems the problems only mount up and become worse. it won't make things better to run away from everyone. have you told you parents how you feel? i know that seems a commen thing to say but.. they really should know how you feel, i know its hard but be brave and talk to them.
running away won't solve your problems it will only make them far worse

 Running away is not the answer, you should talk to parents and tell them and then maybe you could start in a new school and although you said your shy it would be better for you especially if your thinking of running away.
