You are not honey..dont let those bastards bring you down..they dont see what i see in you. * nuzzles*

i still dont see it either *nuzzles back*

I punched my grandfather yesterday. and he doesn't like the person i am, he's mad that i went into working with horses and not following his career choice. but yet he forgave me even when i didn't want to be forgiven. Your parents may not show it. i am sure they have some amount of pride in you in some way.

.__. i wish if they did they would show it some how..

Actually I don't consider you an example for failure by any means. I mean.. look at this picture - it is very well done - way beyond anything many other people can possibly accomplish - myself included.
I agree, however, that being treated like that by parents and teachers DOES hurt a lot. Yet don't let it drag you down. For everyone who thinks you have failed in something there is AT LEAST ONE other person who thinks you did not.

I for one do think that you have no reason to tear yourself apart because of other people's attempts to make you feel bad. I for one do like you and your art - whatever that might be worth to you.

I try not to let it get to me ._. ignoring it doesnt really help

Awwwwwwwwww D:

Hun, there's nothing wrong about you. So they think of you as a failure, yes? They're probably only doing so because they themselves are immature. Perhaps have low self-esteem. If you have a problem, you need to tell them personally. If they deny it, they're not deserving of life itself yet.
I really wouldn't think of you as a failure. You've made yourself more than anything they could be already. You're way more mature than they are. It's a shame how they're still just children inside. Always thinking they're the better of people, thinking they can get what they want by acting immaturely. That's not how anything works.
I assume your brother us young, as he wouldn't see that everybody goes through a horrible depression stage where anything can hurt them. You'd be a great role model anyway. I'm sure you have a much brighter personality when you're not with them. It's just that group of people that you feel horrible being around, yet almost everywhere else, you can be happier than a fat kid with a Big Mac.
There's nothing wrong with you, but it's them instead. Don't let a few KIDS ruin your life.

If you can do art work like that and are a failure I would hate to know what I am.
