Default how to stop being criticized and gain self-esteem?

my parents make fun of me, my family, strangers, etc. everyone makes fun of me b/c i'm different. but i can't help being that way. i have different interests and i sound different and look different and they all find something wrong with me.kids at school make fun of me b/c i'm quiet and act weird. there have also been times when they call me "skank""show-off""b!tch" and more when i act completely opposite of that. i always dress normal like everyone else and i NEVER wore a shirt, or make-up or anything. there are girls that dress like that, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN CALLED NAMES.there are some occasions when i would try to look "pretty" like the other girls by wearing my hair out but i get NO COMPLIMENTS. all i get is "show-off!!"i have had a couple of suicide thoughts since i was 10 (13 now) and i don't know what to do. i have not told anyone else about this (besides YA) b/c i'm too afraid.can anyone help before i kill myself? p.s. do not call me a "troll" this is serious.lol i didt see that mistake i meant to say SKIRT NOT SHIRT. i'm sorry

I always used to feel criticized by everyone and feel terrible about it. By my friends, family, people at school, and I was so sad. Then (very recently) someone told me that the reason you feel bad when someone criticizes you it's because you agree with what they're saying.What I mean is, imagine there's a very beautiful girl and then someone comes and says she looks like a monkey. She obviously doesn't, so she does not feel bad. Are you really gonna let other people make you kill yourself? when life is so beautiful and you have so much ahead of you?You have to build some self esteem. I'm working on it, and people have even criticized me less. And when they do, I try to give them a good comeback. Hope I helped =)[url]http://www.wikihow.com/Develop-Self-Esteem[/url]

I just have a question,"i always dress normal like everyone else and i NEVER wore a shirt, or make-up or anything. there are girls that dress like that, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN CALLED NAMES."what do you mean? you don't wear shirts? I'd call someone a sk@nk if they were showing there boobs to everybody at school, too.Not trying to be mean, I just don't get what your saying here lolmy advice is just stop caring what other people think, yeah, it sucks, but theres nothing you can do about it, so accept that, and just do what you want.
