I haven't read the rest of the replies yet, but this really stuck out for me, because I had the same thing happen to me at the same age. I wish my parents had let me switch schools (both worked outside the home, so homeschool wouldn't have worked) or something. At 33, I am just starting to trust people and build some good friendships.
