ariel	About pulling your hair out, I do that too. It started in the 6th grade in fact I recently found that it has a name: Trichotillomania (Trich for short) I use it as a way to unwind when I'm extremely stressed. It's really embarassing when I go to the salon and have to make up "accidents" to explain the large bald spots. Most of the time I don't even know when I am doing it. Try to get a hold of it, it's like a drug and you never stop thinking about it once your completely hooked. I'm sure you have something beautiful to contribute to the world, and I'm sure that you can find something beautiful in it. Your young, and confused, but it doesn't end here. You have your entire life ahead of you. Find something you're passionate about, something you find joy in. Persue that for now, and discover your true identity along the way. Life can be better, it all just depends on your perspective. Don't let your current situation hold you back from happiness. You have control over your life, it all depends on the choices YOU make.

Katherine Q. Simply	I know you're going through a lot of hell right now, but trust me; it could be much, much, MUCH worse. This might not help, but...what you're going through is life. We all have to deal with it sometimes. Why? No one knows why. But we know that life is a very, very, very valuable thing. Some people don't have it. Some people are murdered, some people starve. Thank goodness you haven't been locked in a third world country, or maybe cold on the streets in your city (wondering what owning a computer would feel like), or that you've been singled out by a gunman...actually, there are a million unjust ways to die. Suicide is among them. Especially in your position. It's not worth it. It's not worth it to drop everything and give up now. You can talk to people, you can fix things. Easily when you compare yourself to other situations. People DO care about you. Even just on this website, people care about you. It's not worth it. Talk to your father, talk to people in school about your marks in school (don't WORRY about your marks now--you don't need to fly with colours immediately in high school in order to attend university in your life), talk with anyone you can. And even though you'll feel uncomfortable about it, try to tell the people you really trust about your feelings. If anyone for any reason should turn on you...**** them. Whatever you do, don't kill yourself. For every heartache and level of stress you "fix", you'll only cause elsewhere, in the souls of anyone who knew your name and your face. Sorry if I sound bitter. It's just...when you've lost someone to suicide, it HURTS. It's not WORTH it to cause people the sort of pain that suicide can. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NONAME	Don't give up, talk to some one who genuinely cares. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Catherine F	i kinda know wut ur feeling even tho i am only 11. try therapy and aske ur dad`s deeper questions. he can help. and ur mom just loves u and dosent want anything bad to happen to u. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ed	Well darling it shows you are human. You need to get away from the stress of the moment. Tell your mom you will try your best and to please leaveyou to your studyies and stay in those books much more. You can be assured this is a natural feeling but not healthy. Listen to the song of a bird or look up at the stars and ask God why in all his wonder did He make you. He knows you have problems and our problems seem small when we remember what Christ went thru. Now learn to smile and learn if yelled at never yell back. You will find greater love within but only over time. Be proud you may not be the smartest person in the world but you aren't the dumbest either. I am praying for you and God has strength for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kalgirl	You won't believe this but it will get better, you have to hang in there. I was 15yrs and so close to suicide. I narrowly escaped it with no help from anybody (you have to pull yourself out). Now I am 27 and so glad that I escaped it's grips. Please be strong, prove to yourself that you can fight this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

James M	You are still in school and under 18 so there is quite a bit of free help for you. You are stressed, depressed, anxious and somewhat suicidal. First you may have some mental health services available through school. They often don't publicize them so the kids don't get teased but they are often there behind the scenes. NOT the normal school counselor who helps you select your courses but a real qualified mental health counselor. Our local schools do up to 12 week sessions, one on one, with a real private mental health counselor, who is by law not allowed to share information with the school. He or she is your doctor, not a school employee. Go to a staff member you trust and tell them that you need mental health counseling and need their help in getting it figured out for you. If the first staff member does not do it within a couple of days then approach the next. Tell them you are feeling suicidal and know you need help. What you tell school teachers or school employees is not confidential, although you have a reasonable expectation for them to not be blabber mouths. What you tell a doctor or mental health professional is strictly confidential. You can tell them everything. The only exceptions are if they think you seriously intend to harm others or take your own life, then they may need to bring others in to the situation. NEXT, Most counties have mental health clinics that are free or indexed to your parents ability to pay. The costs, if any, are minimal. For example for a mother earning around 25,000 a year our local clinic charged $3 a week, and would have waved that fee if there was a problem getting the parents to pay. Again this is is mental health counseling and should be strictly confidential. If you are having problems with your parents they may ask the parent to come in and do some group sessions with you, you, your parent and the counselor. This is often a good idea because it allows them to see how your parents treat you. Even though your parents will be on best behavior and trying to blame it all on you the counselors are good at seeing through parent bullshit. The only problem with county provided mental health is transportation. Even then, the county may be able to help. So don't worry about that, just go for the help. You may be able to go to the county mental health services without your parents permission. This depends on what state you live in. It is likely that you will need them to sign the paperwork on the first day. It sounds like you get along with your dad so take your dad along to help you get signed up. Don't let him talk you out of it. You should be able to find out most of this by doing a little internet research and then calling on the phone. If you think you are not getting the help you need,and have tried both school and the counties mental health unit then try your doctor and tell him you are feeling suicidal and need help, a mental health referal. Be aware that if you tell him you are suicidal it may trigger some mandatory reporting law and force them to do something serious. Start googleing the "mental health services" for your county and school district. Don't spend to much time on it otherwise you will hate that it distracted you from studying. It's the weekend, do your science project. Start first thing Saturday morning. Get it done on Saturday, or at least by Sunday. Make the calls on Monday morning. Just get it done.

Looney	Do not think that way. tomorrow is a different day and things will get better i promise you .soon watch and see friend Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

e	Please get some help! Tell your mom or dad or school that you are feeling overwhelmed and suicidal. Or maybe just make an appointment to see your general doctor and tell him or her about your feelings. They will get you the help you need (for depression AND anxiety--they are related). Also, take some Omega-3 capsules. They've been shown to help alleviate the symptoms of depression. Suicide is permanent, your problems are not! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brittany F	How is killing yourself going to make you feel better? You'll be DEAD! Life might not seem like a bundle of rainbows and flowers right now but it'll get better. My older brother committed sucide in 2004...he was only 20 years old. You have no idea the amount of pain my family and I felt. It was terrible. It's also the most selfish thing a person can do. Do not put your family through that. Be strong and work through it. You will be fine. Living is better than dying. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

purpleglowstick	[Daaaaaang that's one long post. But take the time to read it anyway... while you're taking a break from studying...] Look, dude. I failed my calculus test four days ago, and that brought my math mark waaaaaaaaayy down. I have exams in a week too. And it's not only my math mark that's bothering me, all my other grades are sad too. I have a World Literature paper to write and hand in in less than 5 days, two more French in-class exams, and an oral commentary to do as well. I'm sure many other high school students are feeling this way too.... becoming all stressed and what-not... Think of them all. It wouldn't be fair for them if they all had to suffer writing exams and you didnt. ;P Parents. Nag nag nag nag YELL nag nag nag nag and nag all the time. They say they do this because "they care". And honestly, they do. And about your mom always being on your case, if it were me, I would make sure that my mom knows that I know what to do. My mom knows that I know what to do because she sees all these random post-it notes with "TO DO!" "NOTE TO SELF" or "FINISH YOUR FREAKING ESSAY, DAMMIT!" all over my desk. Siblings always fight with each other. I have three. So I know. It just takes an apology, or an act of kindness to clear things up. If your girlfriend says she supports you, she supports you. And in return, you should support her back. Who's gonna be there to help her when you're dead? Plus, can you even stand the thought of her being with some other guy!? On a more serious note, how's killing yourself gonna help you? Sure you won't feel all your despair and worthlessness, sure. But what about later? When you're dead, will you feel happy for yourself? Will you be able to feel at all? Leaving the rest of your loved ones on this cruel cruel world is unfair. It will be worse for them once you're gone. Plus, you're only in grade 12! What have you experienced up til now that makes you think that you're ready to die? There's so much more to look forward to (for me, it's the thought of all the cool new technology there'll be that makes me want to live til 300) you haven't even lived half your life yet. Think of all the things you'll miss out on if you cut your lifeline here. Think of all the goals/dreams you'll leave behind. Okay I'm getting sappy here, but you get the point... hopefully. Youth these days. So hard to motivate, so hard to get them to see the positive side of things... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Abby M	It is not hard to get into college now days and I know from experience that it WILL get better. Before you know it you will be out from under your nagging mom's roof, with someone who listens to you and respects you, doing what you dream of deep down inside with no exams and no fighting brothers and sisters. You have a long life to live where you can be making the choices that make YOU happy, not someone else. Dream again about what you want to be without letting that bother you so much. Also, try to get some meds to make you feel happier. It can only get better because you are going to be in control of your own life in just a little bit of time. Be strong and manage your time with the projects, find people to help you in small ways. I will be thinking about you and I hope your mom chills out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Eliese	You seriously should go to the ER. I've been through the same thing. I wanted to kill myself, but I didn't want to at the same time because it seemed like the most selfish thing in the world to do. To prevent myself from going any further, I went to the ER and voluntarily committed myself to the mental health unit. They will keep you their for a minimum of 72 hours, but you can stay as long as you want according to how much progress you've made. It's a good environment, very positive,and they will help you there. Please consider it! Your family loves you and you owe it to them to at least try. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

A.Lee	Go talk to your girlfriend and your dad. School is important but it's not a matter of life or death. And there are many different ways to get into a university. Siblings fight all the time. That doesn't mean they don't love you. When you feel like twisting your hair, try to do something else. Like take a walk. Call your girlfriend. Go online and ask random questions on YAHOO! Answers. Try to see the bigger picture. This is what I tell myself when I feel stressed or down about something. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

happiness	I think everyone wants to commit suicide at least once in their life- when they're going through a really tough time. But suicide is NOT the easy way out. Be STRONG. And know that if you do, you'll be hurting a LOT of people who care about you. What if losing you makes someone else crazy enough to want to kill themselves? Would you want to let that happen? Tough times are a part of life... but LIFE GOES ON. remember that. There is so much good in the world, and you just need to look a little harder through all the suffering you're going through. Just remember that you'll go through EXTREMELY tough times, but once you get through them, you'll feel GREAT. LIFE GOES ON. Just be patient. =] Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

DORY	Talk to your Dad! Tell him how you feel! Don't make your Mom have to ask twice, "something you already know, needs to be done!" She dislikes it as much as you! Don't argue with your siblings! Grow up! Now go study! Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

In the Wind	Wow...I am sorry for your feeling so down about yourself...I can only say this...your ONLY 17,,,that is not enough time or enough different circumstances in life to give yourself the idea you should end that life. Just stop and take a step back for minute and prioritize WHERE you want to be, and WHAT you want out of life in a positive way. Start by seeing what you do have even now...a nice girlfriend, and a good relationship with your dad. Add to that list a counselor, and understand being overwhelmed with issues your faceing is not uncommon, but it is your mountain right now...sometimes talking things over with a therapist early like this, helps you to put things in perspective...helps to make that mountain climbable, and eventually the mountain is conquered and it is a mole hill. Just breath, and think for just a second about the importance of life...it is a gift, it is an adventure. Each problem endured makes us stronger. I wish you well. And hope I have been a help. Take care. H2H Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

P G	> "I find my marks are risking not being high enough to get into university." - What university are you worried you won't get into? - Are you trying to go to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc...? - What’s wrong with your local community college for the first two years? - Who is telling you that you have to go to the University? - Why do you want to go to college, especially right after HS? It sounds like you are a conscientious person when it comes to your school work. It also sounds like you have been conditioned from a young age that this is what constitutes success (you must this, you must do this, this way). For where you are in your life (chronologically) you are putting pressure on yourself that is equivalent to someone, perhaps your father’s age (for example), without the life skills, experience, and maturity. Are you afraid of failing or living up to someone else’s expectations? Let me address “afraid of failing” - The only people who fail are the one’s that give up or do nothing. Failing at something does not define you as a person. You have yet to discover your strengths and weaknesses. By the way, a weakness is an opportunity to grow. “Living up to someone’s expectations”- You know, we are our own worse critics, it’s the internal “self-talk” that gets reinforced and chips away at our “self-esteem” and “self-confidence”. > “P.S. I've seen a psychologist and it did not do too much (at the time it helped a bit)” Unfortunately, I think the whole family needs therapy. What’s going on with you did not happen overnight. You have had a lot of “conditioning” to contend with in your family environment. Your mom’s “hen pecking” (a term normally used for a wife that is a PEST), is a constant reminder (amplifies) of all the things on your plate. “the time it helped a bit” (therapy) – GO BACK, get some more. You father and girlfriend are not always the right people to provide counseling or therapy (nor should they). You have some “deep down” stuff inside you need to express without censoring, what comes out of your mouth (how it comes out, unload), or someone taking offense (yet another pressure point). What you say (or do) in the therapist’s office stays behind closed doors. Also, the therapist will not take offense or judge you. If you remember your past therapy sessions, you did most of the talking, you unloaded. You may have felt a little “light-headed” and relieved at the same time. What happen? Well, each time you saw the therapist, you emptied all that “crap/baggage” rolling around in your head in their office. When the session was over, you walked out, closed the door, and left that stuff behind. Now, you have room in your head to solve problems and take-on/handle new things. Start up your counseling again, also look into an evaluation for medication. The two combined can be very effective. In your description/scenario you are also describing symptoms of depression and anxiety. The reason I mention this, is that depression and constant anxiety can and usually does have a “chemical” component (brain chemistry). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jcheryld	Call the crisis line right now and talk to a professional: 1-800-273-TALK (8255), dialed from any phone in the United States, will connect you to a crisis line Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jxdy11	Don't do it! You don't want to leave behind all those people who care about you, and they would be living with the consequences forever. Please call 1800-SUICIDE or 1800-273-TALK, and someone will be able to help you through this. Don't hesitate to tell your parents and friends or a school counselor. I'm glad you've already talked to your gf. School is always a point of stress to many people. Everyone gets past it. You will be glad you did. There are so many things to look forward to in your life. Think about all the things you might miss. You never know what will happen tomorrow. Edit: there is no way you can avoid hurting other people if you go through with this. Please call one of the hotlines I gave you, they will be able to help you and talk to you. Sometimes when you're really in emotional pain, your brain doesn't let you see past your present moment, sometimes you don't know why you feel so bad. It's hard to believe, but there is something in this life to live for. There's something out there to make everyone happy. You're not alone in how you feel. Reach out to someone, and you may be surprised. Please, look past the moment, think about all the things you haven't done yet and want to do, think about how special it is that you have a gf that cares about you so much. It's probably hard to see your mom's nagging as something positive, but really, would she bother if she didn't care about you and your future? There's always something to hold onto, don't let go!
