It has all been said.. dear. So read these posts over and over again.
As for low self-esteem.. so you might have had an unhappy childhood. You might have been neglected and are looking for comfort in anyone's arms. You might be a child of a 'divorced' family, or a 'drunk' family. You might just put it all in a pot, shake it up and throw it out because you are now a young person with a mind of your own who can make choices instead of finding blame in the past.
Also consider going to a clinic and getting tested for STDs - then thank your lucky stars if you are not infected.
You know those 'girlfriends' you hang around with - the ones who tell you what the guys say about you? Well, they probably like having you around because that distracts others from talking about them - you are the subject they use when they want to feel superior and consider themselves 'good girls' compared to you. Do you want to continue being their reason for feeling better about themselves?
Alcohol can really do serious damage to you for the rest of your life. Look at any city street corner or busy train station or run-down city blocks. Do you like the idea of becoming a statistic like that in your future?
Only you can do something about this and care enough to change if it's not already too late. Instead of alcohol, try gingerale or plain soda - nobody needs to know that you are sober for a change - and don't let your glass out of your site. Then see if those 'good ole boys' show interest. If not, all the better - because they have learned to be disrespectful and self-serving and you don't need to be their victim.
Now, wake up and get some self-respect back. It's not an easy fight to keep it, but worth it in the longrun. It's your choice and I hope you make the right one.
Good lUck dear, and keep us posted.
