  1. yep and maybe.

    what do u have to complain about? think about that then get back to me and i'll talk with ya on it. no worries, it'll all be fine. *hug* get a pet, that'll help.  


  2. Being a teenager isn't easy and can be a very awkward and confusing time.

    You're body and mind are going through a lot of changes.

    It concerns me that you say you don't want to be alive.

    I hope you are just saying that because it's common to be over dramatic as a teen.

    If you feel depressed a lot and feel like you don't want to be alive I would advice you to get some counseling. Talk to someone close if you can about your feelings.

    Don't beat up on yourself  and give yourself a break.

    Things usually look better the next day.

  3. As a teenager, you have a lot of emotions and hormones going crazy and you are finding out who you are. There is nothing bad enough to end your life. It may seem easier, but it isn't. I would recommend that maybe you talk to a therapist or minister, or someone that you trust that can help you through this time. If the feelings and thoughts continue for a long period of time, you should seek professional help, you could have an illness like clinical depression, bipolar, something that can be treated with medication and you would enjoy life more. Please talk to someone, don't keep it in.

  4. They say that your teenage years are the best years of your life. I however disagree. At the age of 22 I am only now finally starting to grow into my own skin. I hated high school and everything about it. It was nothing more then a huge popularity contest it seemed. I was uncomfortable with myself, mentally and physically. Your body at that age is going through so many changes and it is harder on some then on others. I assure you that it is just another stage of life and it will pass with time. Just hang in there!

    If you ever feel that you want to cause harm to yourself PLEASE talk to someone before acting on those feelings. Things always seem a lot worse then they really are when you are a teenager. With everything else in life, this too shall pass.

    Good luck and keep your chin up!

  5. There's been some good responses here...

    The first thing I want to say to you is that while it *feels* horrible, it *is* "normal".  A lot of it has to do with hormones & the growth in your brain & nuero-chemistry.  

    Then on top of that, add social issues, peer pressure, parental pressure, school pressure, pressure from society, etc., etc.

    Secondly, I'd like to say that most likely, you will get over it...but if you don't, then you need to go a step further & get help...but first, I think you should try a this:

    Keeping a journal is #1.  It needs to be private, where you can write anything you want or need to with no fear of any1 reading it.  (How your write, grammar, etc. is *totally* not important.)

    My suggestion is to keep it w/you where-ever you go (like keep it in a backpack or whatever but make sure it's kept private).  You use the journal to write in ANY time you feel ANYthing uncomfortable.  Just write it down (even if it's just the words that describe how you're feeling.)  There is a *lot* of power in writing things down...you'll be surprised at how much it will help.  (And there's also something called, "free-writing" when you just let your pen go & write whatever...it doesn't have to make any sense...as long as you are getting it OUT.)

    If that's not enough, I agree with what some1 else suggested:  a therapist who specifically does Cognitive Behaviorial Therapy.  It's the best there is (& this is coming from someone1 who's tried it all!)  Just make sure you *interview* the therapist b4 you commit.  

    (A lot of ppl don't know that they can do this but it's very important...you can learn a lot by trusting your instincts when talking to someone one the phone.  Plus, you don't want to be charged for a visit w/a therapist that isn't for you!  If you need ideas just google:  how to interview a therapist.)

    Hope this helps...keep us informed!  And remember this most of all:

    You are NOT alone!  And even "strangers" can care about your well-being!  (:

  6. ya. whatever you are going through will pass.

  7. yeah you will. I went through this stage for over 6 months. All i did was write in a journal, and it made me feel better. Dont know why or how, it just did.  

  8. Dear Lost, I'm here to save the day!!

    During the teenage years your brain literally gets "re-wired" as you prepare to become an adult.  The frontal lobe goes faster than the rest.  If you don't know, this is the seat of your emotions.

    Sooo - something that is sad is the saddest ever, something funny is the funniest ever, something emotionally painful is the most painful ever.  These extreme emotions are NOT REAL (though they may feel very real).  These severe emotions will subside as the rest of your brain matures - this will take a few years.

    So, please don't feel pathetic.  You are perfectly normal for your age.  You are good enough and totally deserve a place on this planet - it just wouldn't be the same without you.  Keep looking up, things WILL improve.  Good luck!

  9.     How old are you? Where do you live? And welcome to your first day on answers. And no, it's not just a teenager thing.If you really feel this way, you need a professional to help you. There are some, but not many on here.

    You may, but it seems you have a low self esteem. Do something that makes you happy, a certain hobby, sport, food (yes, I have my happy foods)

    If it's really serious, try to get some counseling or just open up to someone. It may just be that you need anti-depressants

    Goodluck!

  11. school is about to start

    this too shall pass!

    KEEP YOUR CHIN UP!

  12. well if it is nothing to serious just laugh it off

  13. nope,  I've been getting that since I was a kid.

    You could try some cognitive therapy (none of this 'tell me about your mother' c**p). You're certainly not alone, and you certainly aren't the greatest freak who ever lived (I'm tough competition my dear).

    If you need to talk..

  14. yeah, alot of us feel that way, and not only when we are teenagers. don't have real great advice. but you probably will get over it.  i know it sounds lame but exercise saved me.  

  15. Hey,

    I've been there too.

    Especially in the last two days or so, I've wanted suicide.

    It is NEVER. EVER an option. Not now, not ever.

    Even if you believe that you'll hurt no one, that people would be glad to see you gone, it's not true. The pain you feel now, you would inflict on those others, only ten times harder. Whatever you may believe, you brought joy to people by entering this world, don't leave pain behind.
