creative assignment question

I feel that, since I carry my problem around with me, the setting of my problem is where I live and the places I go. Since my problem (that I don't face my problems) is rather general, it can be applied to many things such as schoolwork, relationships, parents. So I guess the main characters would be me (duh), my boyfriend (who can either be the cause of or the solution to a problem I'm facing), my parents and teachers and anyone else on the other side of my problems.
