A female reader, anonymous, writes (22 February 2011):

Well the truth is that there is nothing that can be done about the past, so accept what happened and try to move on and look to the future. If you can take anything from your upbringing, look at the people who hurt you and vow to be nothing like them.

You're at an age where you don't have to live at home much longer so when you get the chance move out, maybe to university and then consider whether or not you want to stay in contact with your parents.

There are a lot of shallow people out there and believe me school is the worst place for it as you have so little choice in who you mix with. At school I had people who I would hang around with but they weren't really friends, I didn't meet my first true friends until I was 20. Which is why moving out on your own is important - you'll find a whole new range of people to mix with.

You might not believe me (I probably wouldn't of if I was your age again) but things will get better but only if you don't give up. Work hard at school to get your grades so you'll be able to get away, meet new people and have fun. Which should bring about new confidence in itself. Don't do what I did and drop out of school which meant I was stuck at home even longer.
