My parents refuse to let me talk to them about my problems. They say they've got enough on their minds. I am an only child, and talking to a relative would be awkward because all of my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins live in Germany and speak German. I can't speak German well.
I've considered talking to my school counselor, but decided against it because I don't want her to write about my problems when I ask her for a recommendation letter in my senior year.
I'm sad because I'm disappointed in myself. I feel like a failure whenever I see someone who is better at something than I am. For instance, I feel melancholy when I find out that someone in my class got a 100 on a math test while I only got a 98. I also feel like a loser when I see a girl who looks better in a bikini than me.
Please help! I'm 15.
