As a kid, I had hearing problems, and didn't learn to talk rite, right away; therefore had social problems, then I moved when I was about 9 across the country (still shy then), and on top of that I have the quietest, shyest, most family oriented parents ever. I'm 15 now, and have tried to move on past that, but there still seems to be that past that holds me back. I have lots of friends, I chat with most people in every single class, muscular body, get comments on my blue eyes all the time,and I'm a standout at most sports, yet everytime I'm around my parents, I revert back to my old self, and they just seem to remind me of what I use to be (the quiet nerd who kept to himself). I know I have potential as a "highschool jock" or w/e you want to call it, but it just seems my past and parents being the way they are (very overprotective as well, they were the nerds in their highschool days), holds me back from reaching that potential.
Any suggestions?
