That sounds like a good plan, Abby...lot of people can't deal with it.  But I'm a feel that it's so much better to deal with the pain of losing friends and potentially family than to deal with pain, stress, and all the other things that go along with trying to fake it and lead a 'double life'.

Good luck with school and continuing to make friends with those awful worldly people!

“This I believe: That the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.”

-John Steinbeck
