Understand that you are living at a very hard age. Everything that has happened to you, believe it or not, has made you a stronger person and as you become an adult, you will look back and be thankful you're not like everyone else.

I led a hard life too -- my dad was also an alcoholic and drug addict. My mom, bless her heart, is a work-a-holic. My sister was one of the 'popular girls' and never involved me. I was also extremely shy, and eventually dropped out of high school and started working full time at age 15.

I went into the military as soon as I turned 18 and it opened a lot of opportunities for me. I finished college at 25 and am now a 35 year old homeowner about to get married for the first time.

What I'm saying is IT WILL GET BETTER. You are almost 18 and pretty soon will be in ultimate control of your life. Cutting is a way of controlling, when you have no other control. In the meanwhile you can start journaling - - writing down your dreams and goals for your life. You have so very much to live for! I promise!

Girls will eventually notice you, because you are different - special - not like the other guys who eventually they will be bored wtih. Believe me, the path you have and will take in life will make you better in the end. Challenges and hard times build intelligence, character, and strength.

Hey Mitch! Laugh, live, and love a lot ok? Before you do anything crazy with your self, think that I, Depete, care so much about you. I don't know who you are and you dont know who I am but I really care for you and your life so STOP IT! I'm one of the good reasons why you should live because I went through the same thing as you are and I got help just in time. My school counselor helped me and the Lord too. Laugh, live, and love a lot ok?

From someone who cares for you very much. And if this is a joke at least I know that I care about someone rather than just for myself. Suicide is selfishness.

Yeah, quit acting out to get attention. It alienates people around you that can't relate to the hard life you've had. If you want support, you have to build a support system, if you want friends you have to be nice to people. Forget about your parents, what happened, happened and there is nothing you can do about it. Are you really so filled with self pity you are going to let them ruin your adult life too?

Do what you have to. Get a job. I don't care if it involves walking for an hour every day to flip burgers. Buy a car, get an education and get a better job. Buy an apartment and get the hell away from the people in your life brining you down. Come up with a plan and stick to it. Stuff happens, and worse things have happened to people. It's how you deal with it that counts. Quit being a wuss and do what you have to do to make your life mean something to you, at a certain point no one is responsible for you but yourself.

Good luck my friend, and remember that sometimes you have friends you don't know are there.

Hey I'm 16 too. I suggest that you get involved in something at school. seriously I hated freshman year, I played volleyball and was miserable because none of my friends were involved in the same sport as me. Then in my sophomore year I began to preform in Drama club, and joined band. The change in my attitude was amazing. I also started writing songs and poetry. That helped a lot. Try to be confident and begin to make small changes in your life for the better. I am a christian and at times when I feel desperate God is who keeps me going. I'm not saying go and find God, if you are not religious, but I promise you it is easier to keep going through life if you have something to believe in. I hope that this helps you, don't give up it will get better I promise.

this may be a long answer but please do not do anything crazy!!!

you have had a hard situation but no more cutting. its time you got over it. what you need to do is to start again. as you are only 16 i advise you to stay at home but i suppose you can move away at 17 or 18 so start saving and get motivated on moving away and starting a new. you gotta let your troubles go and maybe do something that makes everything fade out for me my piano. you need to focus on makeing yourself happy because killing yourself is selfish and will hurt your family and trust me you dont want to do that. i could go on forever. look if you need someone to talk to e-mail me sometime i will be more than happy to help you. :D

If you end your life, you will be hurting SO many people. A good friend of mine suddenly died on Saturday, and there was an informal service last night for him, and I swear, more than 250 people showed up, and the funeral is expected to be much bigger than that. All for an 18 year old.

So please, take my advice. I am hurting so bad because of this loss. I can't sleep, eat, talk, breathe. It hurts so much. So please, don't do anything.

Do yourself better than all that. You should get up one morning and decide I want better than what I have and make it that way. Find something you like to do (not harmful to yourself) and get good at it. Maybe something that will further your education or even bring you to new places. You deserve better than what you hav had to deal with and nobody should be going through all that. Just do something that makes you happy and fills you with the want to live and be happy.

Personal disorders would imply undoubtedly whatever. Usually persons are very specified approximately their motives for breaking apart, until they've anything to cover. I consider the individual drawback belongs in your ex - or anything they've performed that they do not desire you to uncover out approximately.

See a psychiatrist about suicidal thoughts I have had the same problems in my life, I know it sucks but you'll get through it just dont do anything to hurt yourself or your friend!

Talk to someone.

Your dad: tell him why you hate him and how it affects you.

friends: tell your best friend you don't like who they're dating, or tell them about your situation, if they're real friends, they'll listen to you and help you.

If nothing else works, talk to a counselor or a teacher, and they'll offer you advice and help you
