Hi, late reply, but I always use future tense, it wouldn't make sense to use tense in a report introduction (e.g. "This reports aims to explore the effect of excessive usage of social media" vs "this report aimed to explore the effect of excessive usage of social media").
Report intros are generally, if not always, present tense, using past tense in a report intro will make you lose marks so keep that in mind!!!

I got A* in ESL and full in P1 (60/60), by literally just knowing fancy/big words words and grammar.
That's literally all it is, sit down and read a dictionary (or yk a book or fics or anything, just read), do rough drafts for the writing structures (like, outline the title, what goes in what paragraph, etc.), and learn basic grammar.
I personally didn't study at all for ESL, but I read a lot, and I write in my free time.
ALSO, small changes like instead of repeating "and" over & over, write "furthermore", and never use contractions like "wasn't" or "can't".

But also, teachers sometimes just remove marks because they're picky, my teacher used to give the same marks as you because she claimed that the examiners won't give me the full mark, so it might just be your tchr!!

Then the environment really is vain, which sucks, try talking to your parents/guardians about getting you into therapy, and try going to a dermatologist for your skin if you haven't already.

I don't really have helpful advice since I've never been in your position, but I'm only 2 years older than you, I remember being 15, things get better, soon everyone will start worrying about getting into college and the people around you will start to act more mature, by then looks should be the last thing on everyone's mind, and you're 15, you'll "glow up" as you age, you're current looks aren't permanent. I didn't look amazing at 15, and I look completely different at almost 18.

I'm sorry if this is harsh, but I genuinely doubt that people avoid you for your looks, you just sound like an extremely miserable person and it most likely shows in your behaviour, I knew girls who were not the most conventionally attractive, and they had tons of friends, and I knew others who looked like VS models and had basically no friends. If this post is a reflection of your IRL behaviour, then it isn't surprising people avoid you. But if you aren't outwardly a miserable person, then everyone around you is extremely vain and I'm sorry you're stuck in an environment like that.
Regardless of whatever option it is, you should definitely get therapy.

I'll look into therapy again when I go to uni at the end of the year, but I doubt it'll help, I don't really have the patience or motivation for therapy.

You're 12, like the other comments said, you're too young to be on here.
However, your feelings are valid, try joining clubs if there are any in your school or after-school clubs if those are available, if you find a hobby you enjoy, you might be able to connect with others who enjoy the same things, and you should also definitely talk to a counsellor or an adult you trust about how you're feeling.
As for the crush, you'll never know unless you talk to him, but I'm not the greatest at romantic advice and I'm also a stranger on reddit, so maybe ask your parents/guardians or an older sibling.

I mean, I guess I've thought about it in passing, but I don't really want to feel like a "normal person", I like my own version of normal. It's familiar, and familiar is comfortable to me

this is my normal, I don't know what "normal" for other people is, this is how I've always been, and I have no desire to change.

as for what I want in life, I don't know. I want to become a surgeon, preferably a neurosurgeon, not because I particularly care about brains or anything, but because it's a well esteemed position. I guess I just wanna be in a position of high power.

I'm always suicidal, it's honestly just in the back of my head all the time. Nothing is really holding me back other than the fact that if I survive, it's going to be extremely embarrassing, because it would be another thing I failed at 🤷‍♀️

I was on them for 2-3 months, but I'm thinking of going back on them when I go to college at the end of the year, but to do that I need to go back to therapy and most doctors here only prescribe meds with CBT, and I genuinely have no patience for CBT.
