What f*cked you up as a kid?

People made fun of me becuase I was not athletic. Pale and couldnt really tan, and girls in school kept making it clear that I was the last person they would date.

Parents made me feel awful when I put on some weight and constantly compared me to my brother who did better in school then me.

I avoided taking my shirt off or wearing shorts, trying new things in fear of being humiliated, trying to date because of low self-esteem, eating right because of body image issues, and pushed myself academically in some areas becuase I felt I wasnt smart enough.

I was a depressed kid, but reading these others comments I know I had it better then a lot of people.

Oh and cant forget to add strict christian private schools and insane endtimes shit being shoved in my young mind.
