New country, new language, dirt poor, puberty setting in... it was a difficult, discouraging, self esteem killing, unfashionable, hairy, greasy, loserish mess.

13-16: 7, 16-18: 5

It wasn't that bad, I got bigger than my mother and kicking my ass became too much work for her and I could just stay out of the house/avoid her more plus I was earning my own money (you better believe I was paying bills) and we were just kinda roommates at that point, no emotional investment in each other at all... I wasn't truly fucked up until I left home and discovered how actual functional families worked and shit I'd been through was not in fact common

I was gonna say 10, but 10 based on the 0-10 numeric pain rating scale they use in hospitals. So 0 means "It's goin' great" and 10 means "Ow mommy"

It was all over the place... from 13-15 I'd say it was a 8.5, then from 15-18 it was anywhere from 7 at its best and a 2 at its worst. It got pretty bad for a fair bit of those years.
