I seriously am about to give up

I'm so scared of death, but I can't take this anymore. I can only vent here and it's painful but people atleast listen, I barely have one or two friends in real life and I almost always stay closed in my room crying about how ill never be seen as a boy, how much my mother is dissapointed in me and wishes I've never changed, how my father doesn't even care if I'm feeling bad, school is draining me and I csnt keep going like this, it hurts.

Though progress is never linear but things are moving in a good general direction for trans folks. Even if one does not "pass" as their chosen gender, they can still present in the role and live a normal life.

It is not like the old days when things were way harder.

One thing - even if an FTM cannot start HRT until after age 18, testosterone is a powerful hormone and will still have a lot of effect.

Things might be tough right now but it will get better.
