Is it normal to be ashamed of your life

I'm not rich, my dad acts like he's 17 and I'm dissatisfied with where I live. I'm not trying to come off as spoiled or bratty. My dad works hard and frankly he deserves a better son than me, aka my older brother. My mom doesn't live with us and doesn't really pay for much thus we live here. I'm ashamed to say where I live and because of this gloomy perspective I don't want a girlfriend.A girlfriend right now would add on stress that I don't need. I work very hard in school to achieve the life that I desire (all AP's). As for now I'm stuck here and feel a little depressed about my situation. Please no rude comments. Am i normal?

    Well, your still young and I'm sure things will get better. Don't be ashamed of who you are or where you come from. Any girl who would even think to judge you about such things wouldn't be worth having anyway. You'll be ok , it just takes time deary

    I worked for a doctor who had sort of a similar story growing up. His parents were together, but they were satisfied to live in a very humble home. They just weren't ambitious. He was extremely ambitious. Mostly this is personality and drive. They would visit the office sometimes. They just seemed kind of confused by their son. Not particularly proud. I could tell he looked down on them and was a bit disgusted by them, but they were just not into keeping up with the Joneses.

    It's not a nice feeling to have (I know), I've been through tough times too. People just don't talk about it so much, which is sad, because if more people did, it wouldn't seem so bad to be going through a tough time.<BR><BR>I'm sure you're doing your best to be a good person.<BR><BR>Maybe talking to a professional to help you feel better? It helps.

    Or if you have that kind of communication with your brother you might be able to talk to him? That can help too.
