I went through that stage every teenager goes through: Who am I? What am I? Where do I fit in? In my case I had to deal with newspapers saying I looked fat or tired or my hair was a mess.

Work begets work. Just work. If you work, people will find out about you and want to work with you if you're good. So work anywhere you can.
