Help, I Want to Commit Suicide

Growing Up as a Girl

I want to commit suicide or "check out early." I think about it every time I am pushed away from others, made fun of, when I have bad grades, talked about in a non friendly way, when I do something wrong, and when my parents are disappointed in me. These thoughts are coming to me more and more often. I don't tell anyone about it and I have been recently cutting myself and hiding it from my parents and friends. Help.

I am 13 and I have a sister who is almost 10. She is constantly putting me down, saying I am ugly, fat and stupid. I can't stand it any more. She says things like, “I know how to manipulate you. Remember how I get inside your head.” I am so sick of my sister and every second of my life I have had thoughts about torturing and murdering her. I hate her, and everyone in my family says I will love her when I get older. I just don't know what to do. What can I do?

I don't get any affection from anyone. My parents try to hug me, but I was abused by them in the past and cannot let them touch me. I feel like I desperately need affection from a female adult, but I don't know who to go to. There are a few teachers who I really like, but I’m not very close to them, and feel like they would think it was weird if I asked them for a hug. I feel so alone all the time and can't stop thinking about this. What’s going on?

A friend of mine told me her mom physically abuses her and her sisters. She said she tried to get help in third grade, but after they left her mom beat her and told her she would get it worse if she tried it again. What should I do?

I'm a 12 year-old-girl and lately I don't want to be around my friends or talk to anybody. I like to do things by myself. I have also started cutting myself. I don't know why, I get good grades and have friends. I've also felt like crying a lot. What’s happening to me?

I'm an 11-year-old female and I have bad problems with my dad. We are always arguing and he always cuts me off and puts me down like I am a piece of dirt. Everyday I feel like suicide but then I wish sometimes he wasn't even born. I know I am too young to feel suicidal, but the way my dad is, I wish I could.

I am 13 and I am very depressed. I’ve had a tough life, three years ago, my baby sister died, last year my best fried died, my mom and step dad abuse me and spend our money on drugs, and my sister just moved out so now I’m all alone. I have tried talking to my mom, but she doesn't understand. I sometimes do drugs and drink just to forget about my life, but I know it isn't healthy. I go to church every week to try to get help, but that doesn't work either. What should I do?

Last year I was so happy going to another school. I was popular and everyone was a true friend. I was never bored and my self-esteem was growing, but this year when I went to a new school the friends who came with me to my school no longer talk to me. I've lost every single one of my friends. I go to sleep crying every night praying for a best friend. I started thinking of suicide and the other day I took a lot of pills when I was home alone. I didn't overdose (I don't think) but I felt really sick. I need a change and my only hope is with God. Got any suggestions?

My mom died yesterday in the hospital and I don't know what to do with myself. I feel shocked, drained and empty. My friends have been brilliant but it isn't helping. My dad has been amazing but has been bottling up his feelings for my sister and me. Everything has changed and I don't feel like I have a reason to live anymore. Please help me, I can't cope.

I am 15 years old and recently I had to deal with something I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to get over - my dad died. My mom has three children and is trying to move on and raise us. It’s really hard for us and sometimes I want to help her, but I don’t feel like I can help myself. I just want OUT of everything. I miss my dad and I don’t know what to do.

I’m 13, and for five years my brother sexually abused me. It stopped three years ago, but a year and a half ago I started cutting and having "eating problems." I have also thought of suicide and the doctor said I’m severely depressed. I have started counseling and my family knows what happened, but they don’t want me to say anything about what my brother did. Can I still get the help I need if I don’t say anything?

I am 15 and my mother and nephew do not have much longer to live. I only have a few friends. I have been severely depressed and have been suicidal for about two years. I have tried slitting my wrist and am going to shoot myself this weekend. Is it too late or is there anything I can do?

I'm a 15 year old girl. My dad passed away when I was 8 and my mom recently remarried. Ever since she got married I've turned into a very angry person. I don't like doing anything anymore, and the only time I am happy is when I am with my boyfriend. I hate everything , I'm always tired and I've lost a lot of weight. I cry at least twice a week over stupid things. My friend thinks I am depressed, am I?

Lately I have been feeling very alone and worthless. There have been a lot of different things going on in my life, such as my best friend’s dad’s death, my boyfriend of 9 months breaking up with me, and the reminder that comes every year of my grandmother’s death and of my attempt to commit suicide. Although I’m not considering suicide, I wish there was a way to make the pain go away. I usually have trouble sleeping at night or concentrating at school. Do you have any suggestions?

What do you do if your parents don't believe you are doing your best and constantly bother you about doing better? For example: I'm 5'5" and 115 lbs. and my parents want me to lose weight. Also I get straight A's and A-'s and I get in trouble for A-'s. My mom says I'm not very pretty and once she told me that I'd never get a boyfriend! I'm 17 and I just don't know what to do to make her love me. I tried to kill myself numerous times but my friends helped me quit, but I still slit my wrists to calm down. I just want her to love me.

We lost our house in a fire and my family was injured and burned. I’m now living with my grandparents. I feel so lost. Everything I had was in the house – my art, my stories, my awards and most importantly, my dog. I should have gone back for him, but for some reason I didn’t. He was a big part of my life. I really miss him and feel horrible for not rescuing him from the fire. I want to talk to my family about how I feel, but I can’t. What should I do?

My grandmother died on my birthday, I lived with her for five years and we were really close. One month after she died I suffered a very bad panic attack. I’ve had them on and off since then, and I haven’t felt right since. My thyroid is said to be normal. I’ve been on Luvox for three months, but it doesn't seem to work. What could be wrong with me?

I'm 15 years old and I have been seeing a counselor since November of 2000. I have been emotionally and physically abused since I was 2 years old. It stopped for a little while and now it’s happening again. In have been to several psychiatric hospitals, most recently this February, because I overdosed and cut myself. I talked about everything that was going on. I am still having thoughts of hurting myself. What can I do to make it all stop other than hurt myself again?

My mom has been very ill with cancer for the past four years. I am trying to be strong for her, but it gets too hard sometimes. I cry every night at the thought of losing her. I know she’s not going to leave me yet, but it hurts to see her in pain. What can I do to be stronger for my mom?

I'm 16 years old and my 15-year-old cousin/best friend was killed in a car accident about a week ago. I easily become angry and frustrated. I take my frustration out on my boyfriend sometimes. He says I'm changing, but it seems as if he is not giving me enough space. I really don't know what to do because she was always here to tell me. What’s going on?

I am 14. My parents are divorced and my grandfather has died. He was the one that really loved me and now I feel rejected. I tried to get close to my grandma, but she doesn't understand girls and I don't think she likes me. My parents don't even look at me when I talk to them. I give up on everyone!

When I was 3 my dad left and I don’t have any information about him. I ask my mom questions and she always says she doesn’t remember. I feel like my mom is keeping something awful from me! I cry everyday because I feel like I’m not good enough for her. I’m not good at talking with counselors because no one has ever listened to me and I feel uncomfortable. I use to plan my suicide. I feel like I have nothing to live for. I feel like I have no future because my older brother is my mom’s pride! Am I messed up?

I'm 16 years old and have two older sisters, ages 24 and 26. The age gap really bothers me. They seem to have a better relationship with each other than they do with me. I’m always being compared to them and I feel like I was a mistake. I want to connect with them but at the same time I want to put as much distance between us so the hurt will go away. Do you have any suggestions that could help me?

My cousin has been diagnosed with clinical depression and now she relies on me to give her all the advice. I try my best but it's a really hard job. She has little or no self-esteem and anything I tell her, she doesn't believe. I would really like to help her boost her self-esteem so that she can get better but I don't know how.

I'm 16 years old and I feel like I'm in hell. I can't go through the day without crying and being depressed. I used to be a straight "A" student, but now I'm practically failing. My parents put me under so much pressure to do well in everything. What should I do?

I have so many things going on socially in my life, my family is bugging me about everything and on I have to worry about schoolwork. It’s really frustrating and sometimes I take it out on my little sisters (I have to baby-sit every weekend). I feel like the whole world is against me. How can you help me?

When I was younger my father used to hit me and I reported him after confiding in a school guidance counselor. I went to therapy for it, but I’ve also been under a lot of stress and I even slashed my wrists. Now I feel like I want to be locked in a closet and not come out ever. Many times a week I have nightmares about killing myself or running away. Some days I’m really depressed and other days I am extremely happy and in a fantastic mood. What the heck is wrong with me?

I recently changed schools and nothing is going right. I lost all my friends and I have no one to talk to. I feel ugly and fat and have lost almost all of my appetite. My mom gets upset with me when she sees that I am sad. I've thought about suicide and even took pills one day when I was home alone. I need a change. Please help.

I am a 13-year-old girl and I am feeling depressed lately. My parents are great sometimes, but they really make me feel bad because they call me fat and too short. They won't let me do anything such as: go out with my friends to the mall or movies, wear 2+ inch heeled shoes, or even let me join a softball team (because my dad thinks girls aren't supposed to play sports). Sometimes I feel hurting killing myself, but I can never go through with it. I don't have enough courage to talk to them because they'll only get mad. Please give me some advice on how I can make my parents understand?
