Yes, there is, dear friend. First of all, you have to begin counselling with the school psychologist. There is no alternative to this. At the same time, you might want to start your life anew with the discarding of your old baggage. There is no point in claiming to be a victim of circumstances, or cry about your past. Your past is just that: it is your past. Nothing more, nothing less. You must start looking for the solution to the future ... you have a kind and understanding boy friend, but if you won t start on the right path now, the relationship is doomed. You got to get a hold of yourself. Start by listing on a paper all the good things life has given you. Perhaps you can begin with this beautiful life itself. Then, may be your parents have been loving. Your sibs? Your best friends with whom you can still share secrets? Once you make a list of the good things that have happened to you, the bad things will recede. Perhaps forever. The counselling must continue for as long as needed, till you are out of the woods. The counsellor may suggest a visit to the psychiatrist, and if so, please go through with it, and if medications are given, please take them. Hope you find your right path with a mix of positive thinking, shedding of the past baggage, good counselling and a belief in yourself. Dr. Taher
