So ... in your universe, you're one of the few people who knows all this? That's ... a lot to deal with for someone your age.
I'm sorry that no one believes you. Sometimes people do incredible things for the sake of others and no one even knows. Or will. We're told that good deeds are rewarded, but ... the truth is, unless they're done under the right circumstances, for a specific set of reasons: the poor, the wounded, minorities, disaster relief ... no one bats an eye.
The real truth is that the reward isn't the accolade. It's knowing you helped someone hav a better life. I'm ... still adjusting to that, myself.
For what it's worth: if you saved the world all by yourself by flying a planet, I think that's amazing, and I'm proud of you for doing it even without anyone caring.
