I think what you're describing is just a normal part of growing up. I hate to quote the bible, since I'm an atheist and all, but:

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."...Show more

Yeah - I think a lot of us have been there. You have to start realizing that YOU matter too. It's not always about everybody else. I mean, it's one thing if someone wants to borrow your MP3 player, and you're not using it but it's another thing to get picked on....but pick your battles. Start small. Someone starts to get under your skin, get under theirs. Push their buttons for a change. If they hit you, hit them back - and I'm not just referring to fists. If someone hits you with a joke about you (to get a laugh out of everyone) hit them back with a joke about them. Sometimes you just have to do tit-for-tat for a while before people get the message. Eventually they will.

Get mad if you want, but have a good reason for what you do in anger....Show more

I think you might need a therapist. True story. I dont think you understand yourself enough to help yourself yet. Trust me, therapy has helped me. It might take awhile...but its worth it.
