Why would you want to waste time convincing other people to care about your art? Fuck them! It's what you do for your enjoyment. For your pleasure. To express yourself. Having other people enjoy your art is merely a bonus.
Before you're officially gone, can you add that giraffe and the St. Bernard drawings to the Art Portal, please? I like them the most... especially the dog. I love it when people draw dogs.
And good luck sorting out the personal stuff. At your age, you're probably being hit from all angles with problems. If you don't sort'em out quickly, they'll overwhelm ya.

If you want people to care, you have to be active and ask people in the forums
