Well, you've got quite a few tough things to deal with. But, in various ways, you truly are an average kid, with pretty typical problems.

I bet that the more you open up to other kids around you the more you'll find that you have a lot in common with them. They'll have many of the same worries and troubles that you do.

So you really don't have to be socially isolated unless you choose to be. You can find a lot of support out there if you go look for it.
