Yes, the hardest part of my life was 14-20 or so. only halfway through college did things start to improve.
And the biggest component was the people around me being awful. Currently I've having another dip in my life... and it's all due to the people around me again. I feel like I'm going backwards to high school in terms of people surrounded by provincial small-minded and nasty people. I miss being around open-minded folks.
I hope you find some better people to be around.
I won't. People in my area are only getting richer and richer and more bitter about how they aren't even more rich than they already are. I live in one of the most expensive zip codes in the USA.
