Hey guys.

I'm just a girl going through the transition of a teenager to an adult and all that it entails.

I've had a colourful life with many a lesson learned and much to offer. Whether you want advice, support or just a chat then all you gotta do is reach out.

I'm honest, whether it hurts or not, but i'm fair; open minded and philosophical, a little crazy yet very logical, at times rather controversial.

If you have a question go ahead and ask!

I thinking about suicide even though I really want the help. My mother and her spouse is REALLY sleeping on this situation like what do I have to do to prove to them that I am not playing. Do I really have to commit suicide for them to get the picture that I am serious because before long its definitely going to happen and in the end they are going to think its there fault and I ma not going to be here to tell then that its not. . . please help!

How well have you expressed yourself in the past? Do your parents know how you feel, your current situations and problems? You cant expect them to react in the most appropriate manner if you dont give them the reality of the situation.
Your parents obviously dont see this as something that needs immediate action. They are probably either misinformed or think its a hormonal teenage phase or over dramatisation. I dont think they know the severity of the situation.
In order for them to help you you have to be honest with them. Sit them down and let them know from the beginning that you want to have a serious conversation with them and that you need for them to listen to what youre trying to tell them. Make them aware of your feelings, your pattern of thought, impulses and urges as well as anything else that may be a factor in this. Ask them to take you to the GP who can assess whether you should be referred to professional services or not.
You must be firm and insistent about this and people need all of the facts in order to better help you. They need to know that something really is wrong here and that youre genuinely reaching out for help. Even if they dont quite grasp the situation (and many parents dont) continue to encourage them to take you to speak to someone about this and get down to the bottom of things.
Even with all the knowledge out there today there are still severely under educated people on the subject of mental ill health. No one ever understands like a person experiencing it but they can understand to an extent so try to help them to do that. Your GP will be able to refer you to a professional - usually a psychiatrist - who can do an evaluation and discuss with you their thoughts and opinions as well as the best course of action to take.
Its an extremely positive sign that you are asking for help so hold onto that and get this sorted before it escalates.
