I lost my mum when I was 11 and am now 16. I didn't struggle because I was young and didn't realise the effects it would have on me. Now that I'm 16 my year has all come crashing down. I've noticed how it has effected me and I'm now really insecure in myself, I used to be outgoing and social but I now have troubles talking to anyone without turning it into an awkward situation. The only thing I can link it back to is how I lost my mum and she wasn't there to show me the way, 5 years later everyone else has sorta moved on, but really I'm just getting hit by it. My stepmother pretty much expects me to be perfect all the time at home. The pressure is coming from all round at the moment, school work, friends, boys and home. I can't make friends and have a good time with friends anymore., boys don't like me and my teachers don't like me. My dad is busy aaaaall the time and I feel very alone. I have trouble talking to people about it because I'm scared they'll think I'm pathetic. Especially friends because they don't know how to help me and find it awkward when I try talk to them. I'm stuck and confused.
