what I am learning from the text

What I have learned so far from what I have read is that there are things in life or obstacles that we all as human beings have to overcome as a teen in High school I too faced issues not with eating but with self esteem which has a lot to do with what can lead to eating disorders and not feeling good about yourself and not having confidence or support to help a person overcome whatever is making them unhappy and in the end they feel alone. I’m learning that as a parent myself we should always pay close attention when we suspects signs that our children are unhappy as I am reading the text it’s almost as if Lia is ignored half the time by her step mother and her father which a lot of times when there is a divorce and parents move on to another relationship and a different step parent enters a home it almost as a child gets ignored this seems to be Lia case she is alone and finds comfort in her friend who is also experiencing the same issues and together they think they can solve it but just make it worse I have learned that it’s ok to be different and to never be ashamed to admit you have an issue because it could lead to death or being hurt and I know that while I am raising my son that I will be more involved and will not shut him out if I get another relationship or even more children.
