You are definitely a valuable person, so don't ever think otherwise! Have you ever read any of Dave Pelzer's books? His most recent one is for teens in your situation, and it is really good. His first book is "A Child Called 'It'" and details his abusive environment when he was a small child. The other books tell about the other parts of his life. It might be good for you to try to find these, and read them. His story is amazing, and it tells you how to get through these kinds of situations. If nothing else, it will allow you to understand that others CAN relate to your situation, and to your feelings, and you won't feel so all alone with it.

Let me know if you find these books and read them, and what you think. If you need their titles, let me know, too, but they should be pretty easy for you to find.......

Take care, and hang in there!
