I am 17, and I struggle with body issues, boy issues, familiy issues, school issues...etc. In the country I live, you need the school grades to get into college. Plus, i want to go to med school, but that is the most difficult carreer here. today i received the worst grade i have ever gotten and it reduced a lot my chances to get a good final school grade and go to college. i now this is not the end of the world, but this just made other problems come out, and now i cant stop crying, so i joined this support group.
i am also crying because i am in love. at least, i think i am. and he was in love with me also, and we were friends too. it was perfect. until i kissed him. it was the first time i had every kissed somebody. the kiss was perfect, but the next day, he kissed another girl. we have not talked for about a year. what really bothers me is that he is not talking to me. i would go and confront him, but i really think that he is the one who should fix this up because he messed it up.
also, my parents told me and my sister that they were going to couples therapy because they arent having a good time for a while. my mother however keeps telling me things about my father and that really puts me in a really weird possition. and i dont tell her how this makes me feel because i know she needs to talk to somebody. plus, she has chron, so she suffers a lot and lives in constant pain.
and you know, theres the tipical body issues of girls. i dont have the worst body, but i used to have a much better one until i suddenly got fat. this might be due because i have pre-dabietes and many other weird diseases.
however, even though i am not bad looking, i dont really receive as much attention from boys.
and what is worse, is that all this problems make me realize how stupid i am for worrying for grades or my body. i mean, there are sooo many people in the world who struggle with problems that dont even compare with the ones i am having right now and they now how to solve them.
and even though i realize this, i still dont feel better and i dont know what to do next.
if anybody understood what i just wrote, i would really appreciate any kind of advice. i am very sory if you dont understand what i wrote or if it was too long, but i just needed to blow of some steam.
thanks.

" hey, im sorry for all your going through. but you should definately not feel stupid, sooo many people have problems similar to yours and don't have any idea how to fix them. i have horrible body image. it actually stops me from seeing my friends or going out. but i'm getting so much better jsut by challenging myself everyday. if you can think of little things to do here and there that seem difficult or you dont want to do you will start to feel better and more powerfull over your situation. for example im recovering from anorexia i had a huge turning point when i wanted fries and i just had some. since then ive challanged myself everyday by eating a little more, or wearing a tight shirt (which is extremely difficult) but im doing it and i love this new sense of freedom i have.
stay strong! "

" Heya. Don't feel down on yourself for feeling this way. Yeah some people have horrible problems but it doesn't really matter WHAT the problem is - if it makes you feel terrible, you can't help that, so don't feel guilty. It sounds like you have a lot going on in your life. Is there anybody you can talk to? Do you have any close friends that are good to confide in? Sorry about your grade, but I'm sure if you want to get into med school there are ways you can. Even if it takes a little bit more time. If you truly want to do it and think it's worth it, you can find a way. Do you have people at school you can talk to about it like your teachers who have any advice? Also if your school has a counselor it might be good to go and talk to them to try and work through some of these issues that you have. Best of luck. And remember you are not defined by your body - you'll find a boy who loves you for you, and he'll be the one that's worth it. x "
