What should I do? I feel like killing myself!

Question

My parents and I aren't getting along. Almost everyday we fight and it has gotten so bad that I started cutting a year ago...I cannot take it...my relatives aren't giving me ANY support either. I call, and call, and call...but nobody answers back. My parents don't take me anywhere anymore, and we're at serious risk of loosing our home. I'm starting high school this year, and I'm afraid of not being liked there. I don't have a lot of friends anymore because my favorite ones moved and I lost all contact with them, and it feels like everyone in my life has betrayed me. I've never had a 'real' boyfriend either...so I pretty much hate myself right now.

All I need is some advice, or something that will make me happy.

Answer 1

maybe your parents are under alot of stress too

losing a house is a HUGE burden

you should really sit down with them & talk about what is going on and apologize if you have gotten on their nerves for the past few months

i want to say you should tell them about your cutting, because you should, but i also feel you should wait til the time is right.

as for the high school thing, youll meet alot of new people

its sounds stupid but join some clubs you are actually interested in so you can find people who have the same interests as you

if you can sing join choir

if you like acting join the play or drama club

if you like any kind of sport try out for the team

just put your self out there & make an effort

also if you join something at school it will give you a reason to not be home around yoyur parents as much

Answer 2

Well, I am in a similar situation. I fight with my mom and brother daily, and it is driving me up the wall. That's why I'm on yahoo alot cos I get to talk to people who can make me happy and forget all the stressors. Don't cut, its bad, ive tried numerous times and one of my friends, who was also a cutter showed me her arms, you don't wanna do it. Also about school I am in a similiar situation too, I am transferring into a new school next year. I'm worried that I won't be liked either, but I will just be myself and I advise you to do that same. Just remember, try to stay positive and remember life will get better, if you give it the time!

Answer 3

just think about how ur old bestfriends will feel if u left them

Answer 4

Hey, alot of kids have been there..... Let me just tell you that you will go through alot of c**p when you are a teenager and it wont be bad all the time, but when you are finally out of shool, life is a completely different place.....BELIEVE ME.... you will grow up and have kids, and you will think back and say, wow, that was a long time ago.... Things always feel sooooooo bad and horrible when you are that age, I remember.... you will look back and laugh....And dont worry too much about your parents, not for nothing but NO ONE  gets along with their parents when they are your age..... if your really think you are going to do something bad then get some help, call 911 or a hot line....but just know that you aren't alone.  

Answer 5

some people are such jerks.. the emo girl... i swear some people just answer questions to get their 2 points. it really sucks when everything .... well sucks i guess.. .this may be really dumb advice... but it worked for me.. how about getting a puppy? theyre a big responsiblity.. and potty training will keep you occupied. and a dogs love in unconditional.. this sounds so lame, but it feels really good to know that my dogs love me so much.. they need me. i mean i dont know what your situation is and if you could even have a puppy, but surely something will float your boat.... a kitten. gerbil... rat?? or even a fish, but they tend to be less cuddly.. my doc told me to get a fish tank because they were very soothing.. they are.. but the puppy worked the best.. and now i have 3 that i just couldnt live without... video games are also always great....

Answer 10

hey,

it's understandable that you feel frustrated because i know it's probably really overwhelming to be in your situation.

my advice would be to just take it slow, and piece your life back together little by little. It's hard, but worth it.

if you're clashing with your family, try to remove yourslef from the situation as much as you can. keep dinner convos short and casual (anything new at work? etc) so that nothing too controversal comes up. When your stuck at home, read, listen to music, write, whatever you need to do to express your feelings. But don't cut, hard as it is that's the most important start to recovery. When you feel like you need to cut, sit down and wirte out your feelings. Some of the deepest, most respected poems come from times of distress.

Going into high school can be scary, but don;t forget exciting too. You are at the perfect time in your life to start fresh. You can be the person you want to be, and everyone will accept you as just that, not who you used to be.  

Don't worry about making friends because you will have plenty. All you have to do is be yourself, (or read twilight :] )and you will find sooo many others who have similar interests that will think you're cool for who you are. But be sure not to gravitate to the people who are always down, find the people who will keep your spirits up when you're down.

It will not be easy to do, but if you hold on to the great person you are, and work out the kinks in you life gradually, you will be sooo much happier in the long run and extremely proud of yourself as well.

And as for guys, i don't know what's cooler and more respected than pulling yourslef out of a bad situation. That's strong, and deep. What's not to love???

Most importantly remember: it's not your fault, and you should never punish yourself for things you can hardly control. Keep your self pride, and everyone will respect you as a strong individual.

hope that helps :)

Answer 11

You're parents are probably on the edge of losing it too, because they're close to losing their home. You wake up every morning, so you have a purpose to fulfill. What you need to know is that God loves you and I love God, so I love you with the love of the Lord. Don't hate yourself you are worth more than you think, if you can't talk to your parents or other relatives look for outside free professional 1-800-273-TALK. I'm 18 and I've never 'real' boyfriend either it's not a necessity, just get someone to talk to that can really help you. Love yourself no matter what because God loves you if nobody else does always and forever.

Answer 12

i been through all this before and i know how you feel.i didnt have friends my parents and i didnt get along and fought all the time.its tough and it sucks but you have to remember your here for a reason you have so much to live for.it may not seem like it but someday youll have kids and get married and you still have prom and all that high school stuff.being a teenager sucks.but ill tell you the truth when it comes down to it and you get older your realize there is no point to friends and for the boyfriend thing its best to not have one they suck!!!!!im 19 now and i still have no "friends" my only friends are my kids and my mother.yea i have a boyfriend but let me tell you they suck more then you think.its nice when you got em but once you have it its a headache!!!!!!!keep ya head up girl and stay strong.you need to find something to pass the time like get a job and get things off your head or go for a walk on the beach and read a book.if you need anything im here for you but stay strong.youll get though it all.good luck    

Answer 13

Let me begin by saying that you are loved.  God Loves you and even though you may not feel like it, I'm sure your parents love you.  I can relate to your feelings because at your age I went through the same things.  I tried commiting suicide several times and guess what I'm still here :)  I' here because God allowed me to go through those trials so that I could be here to help people like yourself.  I promise you if you know the words of prayer and use them God will see you through.  Don't give up now, don't ever give up that's the easy way out and the fact that you are seeking help and advice shows that you are wanting to pull through this.  You can and you will.  Please stop cutting yourself, you are too beautiful to harm your flesh.  Think of the pain that Christ endured while being persecuted, he died for your sins, so don't harm yourself in the way that the enemy harmed him so that he could die for you.  I won't preach to you because no one likes that, but I know God works, I try him everyday and I have made it through so much.  Never feel alone,if you ever need someone to talk to you can IM me at keya_woods and that's for yahoo, just let me know who you are. I will be praying with you and please contact me if you need a friend, I am here, that's what we are supposed to do as followers of Christ.  God Bless you always

Answer 14

Calm down and take a deep breath. Your situation is not easy right now to say the least. Sit down and just think to yourself, think about making things right. Swallow your pride and apologize to your parents because they truly do love you. Sit down with them and explain to them how you feel and all your thoughts. If you feel like you cannot take to your parents, go to your nearest therapist or school guidance counselor. Things are bad right now, but you can make them get better. Stay positive, do not think pessimestically, know that things are going to get better. Hating yourself is the worst postion to be in. You know you want things to get better, so take the necessary steps to make things better. Please, stop cutting yourself, it will only make you more depressed. Make things right because you know you can, talk to your parents, a counselor. When high school does come, best way to make friends is be nice, welcoming, and just yourself. Things will get bettet. Just sit down and think to yourself what you want to do and how you can end all this without punishing your own body? Maybe do something to relieve the tension. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything works out.  

Answer 15

don't kill yourself. things will get better. they have to get worse before they get better. say a prayer.

Answer 16

sounds like you are a normal moody depressed teenager who is worrying about anything and everything. You need to tell your parents about the cutting (I cut when I was a teenager too) and you probably should be talking with a counselor who can help you work out your problems and teach you new ways to deal with your depression and stress. And don't worry about the boyfriend thing. Boyfriends just add more stress and something else to worry about. (I remember my teenage years all too well and I was consumed with boys... blah) It's normal to hate yourself when you are a teenager.. But it's time to talk to someone before you cut too deep. Don't worry you'll get over it. I am 24 and that's all behind me now. I started talking to a counselor after I swallowed 25 tylenol arthritis and tried to kill myself. She helped me work through my problems and taught me ways to self sooth. I am now a mother of two with my third on the way and have been married for almost 6 years. Don't fret growing up is really hard to do. It's not just a saying and trust me everyone knows that their teenage years were the toughest but we all make it through. When you start high school get into some extra activities. I joined theater. I loved being on stage and I had friends because of it. Introduce yourself to new people and don't be shy, sit in the middle of class and say hi to the people around you. I think you will be great. Start writing in a journal everyday. Yell scream on the paper, write about everything that pisses you off or scares you. When you get that days fustrations out rip the paper out of your journal and rip it to pieces and throw them in the trash along with the feelings on those papers. It's an excersice that worked for me. So, I hoped any of this helped. I have been there done that and I made it. I used to cut and I used to fight with my mother night and day. It'll work out. I promise you. Keep your head up.

Answer 17

Don't let that first witch get you down.

You are here for a reason & things will get better.

Answer 18

Don't do it! I'm sorry about all you are going through and i know it feels like everything's falling apart but you can't give up now because you're still young and even though things seem unbearable right now believe me when i say things get better. Maybe not for a while but no one ever said that life was easy, life's just throwing obstacles at you right now and you need to have the courage to get up and overcome them. Everyone has problems with family, and as for friends people come and go, High School is always scary i'm at my Junior year right now i have friends and i'm still terrified to go back, you'll make new friends, and as for never having a real boyfriend if it makes you feel any better i havent really had a real boyfriend either i've never lasted in a relationship for more than a month. Just remember killing yourself is never the way to go even if you think people don't care they do trust me. If you're depressed when you get to school talk to your councilor or tell someone else just keep on living and hope for a brighter future. Sorry for writing so much and i hope that i helped :) Fight On!  

Answer 19

I know what you are talking about when you say you don't have alot of friends. I've only made ONE since KINDERGARDEN! Try to find somebody that could help you. Like a therapist or a school counsler. IDK.

Answer 20

Figure out what you like to do, and start doing it. There has to be something you enjoy, a hobby, a sport, art, animals.. something.  Get involved in something.  If you have the attitude that no one in school will like you, then why should they.  Lighten up some, make yourself approachable, you will be fine.  Missery loves company, so have a possitive attitude..  You need to find something that makes you happy and just do it.   tell your parents how you feel.  Maybe they just don't understand what your going through, but trust me they were once teenagers also and they will listen to you.  

As far as the cutting goes, your just hurting yourself and not helping the problem.  You will have permanant scars for life.  This is just a phase, don't ruin your beauty by doing this, do something possitive instead.  Do some serious soul searching and find that spark of light that makes you happy and do it.  

i know teen years are tough, we all had to go through them, its just part of growing up and finding who you really are.  You have a whole life of happiness ahead of you , find it now and start being happy.

Good luck to you.
