My mom doesn't think they help. she thinks they just shove me deeper down the hole but they taught me it's okay not to be okay and that instead of ignoring the problem we're gonna face it
Exactlyyyyy, not only my parents but my friends too. They'll see me listening to them and start making fun of me, calling me emo and stuff like that…
Yeah my whole family doesn't like them but hey! whatever!
Do you have any advice on dealing with hate like that? I've tried but it's hard for me..
Well my advice is not to give a single solitary fuck (pardon) about their opinion. If you're super sensitive to stuff like that, then try and explain why it helps (fyi it doesn't always work, it didn't for me) if they don't listen don't bring it up around them again. I know it's bad, but sometimes you have to let it go….
But I guess other have always mattered more.
That's not true at all. Never think that, you are loved.
see page 3 and my attempt at motivation
Wow. Thank you.
blushes slightly and hopes it helped
Well, we understand what you ma be going through, everybody goes through life differently, what may seem small to some people is a huge deal to others. Don't think that you and whatever you may be going through/have gone through is insignificant or doesn't matter. It does matter
It helped.
Good! I’m glad I could be useful for once in my life ;)
This chat is making me want to cry.

I don't bring up TOP around my family because they hate them too. Try explaining what their lyrics are about like what @ThatBackgroundSlytherin said. They teach you that it's okay to not be okay for a while and to take the time and effort to get better.
Wait can I talk about something personal for a second…I really need some help with a certain problem.
We'll help any way we can.

Of course! I’m here for you!
OKay so MK already knows about this but others may not.
About 2 years ago I was taken out of my mother's house because she was doing drugs and abusing me, etc. In the years I lived with her she hurt my self esteem horribly. Now, I go to school and just someone looking at me and making a weird face makes me start sobbing. I've been trying to deal with it but I can't. It was horrible especially today, mother's day, she wanted to get ice cream, actually she forced me to get ice cream with her. The whole time she was just talking about everything horrible about me….I just……ugh
I’m sorry. I wish I could help. Just know you guys mean a lot to me.
All I can think of to say is build yourself up. Other people’s negative opinions of you don’t matter. Just recognize the nice ones, the ones that show you for who you really are. Who gives a crap what the kids at school think? They don’t know you. You know you, and you know that you are more than whatever they think or say you are.
Yeah now that I’m rereading that it makes no sense. But we’re here for you
Pardon my French but…WHAT DA F@CK IS HER PROBLEM!!?? WHAT MOTHER WOULD EVEN DO THAT!??! IMMA GO OVER AND KNOCK SOME F@CKING SENSE INTO HER DUMB@$$ HEAD!! DOING THAT TO MY POOR BABY!!!!!!….I mean honhonhon I knock sense into her petite brain~?
Wow…that…wow. Thank you.
I guess I just grew up knowing nothing else, I try to work on self esteem but nothing helps.
I'm so sorry, I thought you and your brother were with other family right now… you don't have to do what she says, if you're out of her house, you don't have to go anywhere with her if you don't want to. I hope it gets better and that you and your brother will be able to get away from her if that's what you both want. I'm here anytime you want to talk about anything…
