Answer: I had a bad childhood too, but I learned to make good things of it. I will tell you...we sometimes need to think of ourselves and our well being. We need to learn to do things for ourselves and to make ourselves feel good. It is healthy and it is good for us.\n\nYeah, we should think of others and help others out, but you are important as well.  Sometimes you have to Take care of your needs and problems first and then worry about the needs and problems of others. Sometimes...when we help others, it helps us as well.
