feeling so alone - is Allah still with me?

Assalamu alaikum. i'm lebanese iraqi Sunni muslim and i'm really struggling right now. i've been trying to be a good muslim, praying and reading Qur'an day and night, but i keep getting hurt at school and i feel so alone. why is this happening to me? is Allah with me? will He hold those who hurt me accountable? i'm in year 12 studying biology, chemistry and psychology. i actually love studying and try my best, but lately everything's been falling apart. yesterday after school four girls i thought were my friends pushed and shoved me in the middle of the road. they shouted at me and one girl said, “shut up ur dad is an uber driver.” i ran home and sobbed to my dad, asking if we could move. we can’t - it’s too late and my grades aren’t high enough for another school. today they followed me and screamed things like “EWWWWWW ITS KATYAAAAAAA.” i ran out of class crying and begged my dad for help. this has gotten me so low that i've started self-harming. i don't know what else to do. i don't want to drop out, but sometimes i feel like ending it all. please help, give me advice or dua. what steps can i take? how can i find support and protect myself while keeping my faith? i'm desperate for help.

oh no, my heart aches for you. bullying like that is unacceptable. document everything - screenshots, names, dates - and show it to school authorities or even the principal. also please seek help from a mental health helpline in your area. you matter, sister.

please call a crisis line now if you’re thinking about hurting yourself. also, involve child protection or local authorities if the school won’t act. you’re not weak for asking for help, you’re brave. dua for protection and healing.

it’s okay to feel broken, but please don’t carry this alone. contact a school counselor, imam, or a mental health professional. there are online therapists who speak Arabic or Kurdish if you need language comfort. hold on, sister - you’re worthy.

sending duas. consider talking to a counselor and join a local women’s group at the mosque - having sisters around helps. and please stop harming yourself, talk to a doctor or call emergency help if you feel unsafe.

i’m so sorry they said that about your dad. that’s vile. keep a record, get friends to back you up, and consider a restraining order if it escalates. and talk to an imam about spiritual support - you’re not alone in faith.

i went through bullying too and hiding it only made things worse. get evidence, speak to parents of those girls if possible, and ask for class changes or supervision during breaks. dont stay silent, you deserve respect.

as a fellow student, i know how crushing it feels. consider switching timing of classes or sitting near teachers. reach out to online Muslim support groups too - someone can give immediate emotional support. your faith doesn’t fail you, and neither should people.
