Yep, my parents or any adults didn't (maybe couldn't or wouldn't) do anything to help me, so I just take care of myself since. I know someone who went through similar shit as I and she ended up wasting away her youth with drugs and sex(I'm not saying it in derogatory judging way because I also waste my youth with depression and shit).

And once you go through a lot and have to solve seemly everything yourself, you ain’t scared of nothing and nobody ;). It’s actually very freeing now.

Excuse my language, but I used to say to my bullies, "bitch, I don't have nothing to lose and you have everything to lose. fight me" a lot. lol now I'm ashamed I said that kind of stuff. Looking back, it's kinda help build sort of confidence. Like here comes just another shit. lol. again, sorry about the language.
