I can never remember feeling good about myself. From the time I was a little child I always felt nobody ___1_____ me—not my parents, my brothers, my sisters, nobody. I never had any friends, anyone I could tell everything to. I liked to ____2_____ friends, but nobody seemed to care for me. I also had a lot of problems with my _____3_______. Until grade nine I was a head taller than everybody else. My classmates always called me names like Pole or Long-Legs. I felt the others were ____4_____ me.

　　Things weren't much better at home. The only way I could _____5_____ my problems when I was a little child was to cry a lot. My mother didn't quite ____6____ my feelings and the _____7_____ annoyed（使生气）her and made her nervous.

　　Nobody in the family ever made an effort to understand me or even to talk to me. My family isn't exactly what you'd call warm. There's never any expression of _____8______. I'm sixteen and I can't remember my mother or father ever kissing us.

　　Things started getting really bad in high school. I changed schools. In the old school ______9______ I didn't have any friends, I still had classmates to go out with; in the new school I had no one. At that age everybody's in groups. I felt out of it. I tried, but I couldn't _____10______ with the others. I didn't like them. I thought something was wrong with me. They thought I was strange.
