They don't seem to understand that what you are doing is a reaction to how you are treated. From this I would say it is badly. Females in society are generally treated worse than males even by their own families. Your parents should have given you more self esteem than this. Yes, that's where it originally comes from your parents, your original caregivers. Since they won't give it to you you'll have to go get it yourself. Run, don't walk, to your library and type self esteem into the card catalog. Then read, read, read until you feel as good as the person you really are. You don't have to live up to anyone's image of what you should be - even your parents idea of this is not better than your own. And take care of your health. You'll need it in college where they treat females just as badly. Complain, in writing, to administration until you get results. This may also work with your parents. If you cannot tell them you need them to treat you with respect write it down for them. You deserve as much respect as everyone else on this earth. You don't deserve to feel this badly.
