It was usually a group thing in High School, but I think the worst was my mother, who'd often put me down for telling her I'm unhappy, or act as though it were a slight against her that I wasn't happy. Made me pretty much silent about all my problems and led to breakdowns in college and lots of problems that probably would've been avoided if I'd felt like someone wanted to hear about my problems or that they weren't just like everyone elses.
