It may be their fault, but people need to take what they do have and move on. Don't let what's happened in the past ruin your future. It's good that you realize the problem at hand so that you can move forward. Good Luck!

Your not a child anymore, so all that blaming and pointing fingers is a waste of time, think about the future and ways of improving your self confidence now.

Your life is what YOU make of it...not how your parents treated you when you were a kid. Too many people blame the way they were raised for their problems (lack of self confidence is a problem). YOU decide how YOU want to feel about YOURSELF. You can't blame someone else for that.

YEs! and NO... parents play an important role in the way we turn out as adults, and if they were not very nice to you; you will hae to take it apon yourself and treat you better than they have treated you. Im so sorry that they did this to you and i wish i coudl turn back the hands of time but icannot and you cannot as well but you will have a say in what you do from now on! (SMILE) there is hope sweety. you can rebuidl you into a better person and not have to worry abot why they were this way maybe that is all they knew themselves
good luck Love!

Yes, parents are largely responsible for your self-esteem because they shape who you are and partly who you become! Verbal abuse can cut deeper than physical abuse sometimes, because it affects your very soul! Also, as parents when they don't approve of you then life usually is filled with the person trying to accepted! Sometimes, it leads to falling for anything in the pursuit of being accepted! But But it does not have to turn out that way! I was verbally abused as a child, and it did affect my self-esteem but I wouldn't allow it to destroy it! My father said last year he remembered me being the, "black sheep" of the family, and now I'm the one everyone looks to for counsel! Yeah Baby, look at me now! The same one that wouldn't amount to anything, is fat, ugly, and lacks common sense....Is the one the same look to for advice, loans, and encouragement! Oh, and by the way I look good! The butterfly has arrived! So, don't let the your past shape you or define your future! Your Future will be Greater than Your Past! LOOK UP AND LIVE with your cute self!

depends. it could be peers that squashed your self-confidence. if your parents didn't support you when you were younger or weren't there for you, that could be it.

If you feel comfortable blaming your parents for your own inadequacies go right ahead, but deep down you must know that it's not them... it's you!!!

You can blame them all you want, but ultimately it's what you do with your life, and how you behave, that will bring you more success.
