im sorry if this is long
im 13/f and i have 2 brothers a mom a step dad a dad a step mom and a step sis. my life gets so hectic some times that i just cant stand it, my step dad yells at me for every little mistake i make, and he always thinks that someones out to get him. my mom and dad dont even talk anymore, and if they do, they wind up yelling or hanging up on each other, and my dad doesnt even care enough about her and me and my bros to help us. my bro blamed the reason that him and his girlfriend fight because of me, his girlfriend used to be 1 of my best friends. i feel like i have only one friend, all the others are just there, and they dont invite me to anything. my only true frind is moving lyk an hour away, and then i dont know who i would b able to hang around with for my highskool years. sometimes i get so upset that i constantly think about commiting suicide, or cuttig my self to get rid of the pain. i havnt cut my self yet, but every single day i get closer and closer to doing it. i need help, what should i do?

TeenageCupid answered Sunday March 6 2005, 9:29 am: 1. Ask your bro why he thinks you're the cause of all the fights, it doesnt make any sense!
2. I think you should go out more and meet some new people. And even if your friend is moving away, always call her, you need someone to talk to.
3. do not commit suicide, its stupid! killing yourself will not solve anything. The way you think is how WEAK people think! Start acting strong! I dont want you to go commit suicide when you face a problem! And I cut myself before. It makes you feel a little better, rejecting the anger on ur arm and all. But it hurts and it will hurt for a while and it will not solve your problems! You are only 13, there are a lot of things waiting for you out there, so dont kill yourself. Cutting yourself WONT END THE PAIN! I REPEAT! IT WONT END THE PAIN! BE STRONG!
4. I said this to many people, keep a diary. It will become your best friend. [ TeenageCupid's advice column | Ask TeenageCupid A Question ]

DONT LET THAT CROSS YOUR MIND!
It's ok. Family's can be rough, and sometimes you feel like it's all your fault, even whnen it's not at all. Your brother dosen't understand!! You should talk to him about it. Your mom and dad sound like they hate each other, but it's there choice and not yours. You and your friend can still stay in touch bu IMing,(MSN OR AOL OR AIM) and letters, emails, or phone.

well dont do anything until you talk to a proffesional. I havent been doing this long, but i know enough about how you feel. what i did was forget the negitive things and focus on the positive. there has to be something. i really admire your want for help and know how hard it was to write this. I just closed people out until my best friend told the principal who got me help. I really respect tat you want help, and am sorry fo everything wrong with your life.

There really isn't much you can do with regards to your parents arguing (mine are the same) other than telling them how much it is hurting all you kids. That might make them stop a little bit.
About your friend...always stay in touch. And with the others, ask them out to things - once they see you being more open and friendly, they might be too.
Please don't cut - I know exactly how you feel but it really won't help. Cutting is a slipperly slope and once you have started falling it's very hard to get up again. Find other ways to vent/get rid of how bad you're feeling - excersize, write, draw, listen to music, talk to your friends about this (or a diary once she has left - anything is better than nothing and you shouldn't bottle stuff up), volunteer for a charity (e.g. for animals, for old people, for children, at a hospital), make a collage of pictures of good memories, anything.
You'd probably benefit from talking to your dad's girlfriend and try and get the friendship thing going again too.
Good luck, and feel free to email me at any of the addys on my profile if you ever want someone to talk to :)
Blessed Be,
