I can't imagine what you must be going through right now. You've been through so much. The thing is, you're still going. You are strong enough to have gotten to this point, and I believe that you can still keep going. I know you REALLY want to get back at those who have hurt you, but in the truth of it all, how does that make you any better than them? They have made you strong even though you may not feel that way. You are extremely smart in that you take into consideration the opinions of others and ask for help. I think you have so much potential that it's screaming at me out of your words. Something to consider is going back to school (unless you are already satisfied with the job you have now). People are soo much nicer as they get older. Yes, some do remain jerks, but they only have as much power over you as you give them. The preppy people are only seen as above us because we think of them that way. Also, I don't know if you're religious or not, but I'm a Christian, and I've gone through a hell of a lot when I was younger and still am. The thing is, even when I ran out of hope, God was there for me. He answered my prayers. I would never be where I am now if it wasn't for him. I'm kind of like you in the sense that I've never had a boyfriend (I said boyfriend because I'm a girl, hahaa). It's not because I can't, but it's because I choose not to. Honestly, there's sooo much less drama if you don't date, so don't think of not having a girlfriend as a bad thing. It's actually a really great thing. Even though I've been through a lot and have bad times, I love my life. There was a time where I wanted to kill myself, too. I never did, and I always thought it was because I wasn't strong enough, but it's actually quite the opposite. There's two kinds of strength: the strength to die, and the strength to live. The strength to live is the harder one to chose. But, you've got this strength in you. And whether you know it or not, there are people that you havn't even met yet that are depending on you. You are important to this world, and don't think for a second that you're not. I want to share with you something I read yesterday off of my Facebook app. called A Message From God. It's a daily message that is kind of like a guide to life. It's really helped me. And since I just received this one yesterday, I feel like it was meant for you so that you could hear it. Sorry if you're not religious...but maybe you could try praying sometime. Just try it. It's never too late to turn your life around, and God is there for you, no matter how bad things get. Anyways, this is what it said:
"On this day of your life, God wants you to know that you matter. People need you. People you love and even people you have never met are depending on you. You matter to God as well. No one else can be the person you were created to be. Do not think for a minute that you are not important; -the world needs you. God needs you."
I hope all of this helps you. And maybe we could talk sometime through messaging. Just contact me if you ever need to. I don't know you, but I'm here for you. (:
