right now i feel like i am not good enough and i was taken advantage of by a boy. i hate myself. i hate him. these are my feelings, my emotions = they are real (hence, a fact to myself).

Palemoss,
Echoes hit the nail on the head... emotions are real; they are YOUR reality, but they are not facts. You are totally entitled to your feelings and emotions, but don't let them overcome your logic and reality. When you are emotional, this affects you amygdala which controls your logic. You feel like you are not good enough, but the fact is, you are.
