Must admit I put it mostly down to, in this case, of the mum putting her down but of cause the media and peer pressure doesn't help in general. My mother put me down for years stating I was useless and stupid which I believed yet I managed to pass exams and get a good job after leaving school. Guess I wasn't as stupid and useless as she made out
. Seriously parents can do so much damage yet they don't realize it.
