text: what should i do? my mother was physically & emotionlly abusive. she used to tell me when i was little 'no wonder no one likes you', she told me my friends were using me, she called me pizza face when i had acne. top it off kids at school made fun of me, told me i was ugly & stupid everyday, i had 1 or 2 friends thru school. as an adult i don't deal with conflict well. very self concious about myself & the way i look. after 19 yrs being told u r a certain way it is hard to believe otherwise i'm 25 now. 6 months ago after a fight with my bf & us almost breaking up, i went out with friends we were drinking when my one friends bf made a comment i was a dumb blonde, he walked by me and messed up my hair. i went into the bathroom to try to fix it, i looked horrible. thru the night he called me a dumb blonde and continued messing my hair, another friend confronted him in front of my friend, he said right in front of me that i was ugly and that i had shitty hair. i got really drunk that night & wanted to die. i am so sorry that has happened to you.  please don't hurt yourself.  i know it's hard when you feel like this, i go through similar issues, but try to be more positive and hang out with people who like you for who you are.  if you see your mom, tell her what she has done to you and tell her that it's affected your life.  get it off your chest.  next time someone treats you bad, tell them off, don't let them step on you anymore.
