Whatever your problem is, chances are I have dealt with it- either directly of indirectly- at some point in my life. I've worked as a Social Worker (with issues like mental illness, addiction, disabilities, eating disorders, etc.)
I've also taught school (to teens!)and have experience mentoring them.
In addition to that, I've lived in 4 different countries, many different cities, and worked jobs in all different fields from Software Sales to Fashion Designer.
This diverse life experience has given me knowledge on a wide variety of topics- which I hope I can put to good use here. :-)
So go ahead- ask away!
PS- I do not judge people or speak to them in a condescending way. However, I will be honest and tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear.

Your aunt is verbally abusive. It's no wonder you feel down with all that negativity around you. Are you living with her? Is there any way to stay away from her? Are your parents around? You didn't state what the situation was, but you need to try to spend as little time with her as possible. And I would suggest talking to a school counselor to see what you can do to get out of this situation. It is not a healthy situation to be in. And another thing, don't believe anything she says- I know that's hard to do, but try to understand that people that do that are sick. And they can make you sick to if you swallow their poision. Don't take it, every time she says something like that, tell yourself the exact opposite. And please, try to stay away from her.
