well i started writing poems and songs about sucide and dieing and cutting and popping pills! im sucidal?? PLZ HELP!!
(( and plz dont tell me to go see a counslar or therpist because my family doesnt know and i dont want them to find out))

Whoa... slow down. Just breathe. First off, suicide is a PERMANENT answer to a TEMPORARY problem. You have to realize that things can only get better. If your at rock bottom, theres nowhere to go but up.

Depending on the severity of your depression, you might not even need "help". It is very normal to feel sad and even hopeless when your a teenager. You just have to do your best and get through each day knowing your on earth for a reason. No sense in messing up the order of things!

Take it from someone who has had their fair share of depressing moments and someone who has battled depression first hand-- cutting and attempting suicide is just stupid. There ARE people in your life that care. Remind yourself of how much worse things could be for you. Imagine you having a rare form of cancer and having only six months to live.

Think of what's important in life. Taking time to enjoy the small things, pointless romances, sleepovers and laughs with your best girl friends. You'd be missing all of that if you weren't here. Think of the good PEOPLE in your life. I can assure you, there are some.

Take a nice long walk. I think it may do you good to go out and get some fresh air and maybe see the sun set. Or sun rise, even. It's the small things in life than make us happy, because we're not thinking of the big picture. Truth is, life DOES suck. Realizing how corrupt the world is and realizing how little people REALLY matter is tough. Realizations in the teenage life (like what i mentioned above) are hard to deal with. It's not easy realizing your parents aren't perfect, or that things AREN'T always fair in the end.

Everybody has these realizations, and everybody has bad days. Everybody has good days, too. Let tommorow be yours.
