Ok, when I was 8 both my parents died in a car crash. I've been in and out of foster homes ever since. Most of them were assholes and abusive and then the last family I was with, before this one, just took off in the middle of the night and left me there. I took care of myself for about 3 months before someone found finally found me. when they finally found me I weighed 65lbs. and they said I was lucky to be a live. Now I wish I had just died then. That was when I was 10. I spent 2 years recovering and then I was put in another home. I ran away from there because they were assholes who enjoyed watching people get hurt. I'm now 15 and I'm not sure of anything anymore. I can't get close to people. I'm afraid to keep living. I really just want to give up. I've had thoughts of suicide before but never like this. I feel like there is nothing left. The people I'm with now are just like all the rest and I can't do it anymore. I don't want to keep living like this. I don't want to keep living at all. But I'm scared to go through with it I'm so confused and afraid and screwed up I don't know to do about anything.
My question is does anyone know how I can make things better? I've tried drugs, drinking, cutting, burning anything to take away all the confusion and nothing helps. If anyone has any ideas of how I can make things please let me know I really need help. I don't know what to do anymore. All I can think of is suicide and I know that's wrong but I'm just lost right now. Please if anyone has any ideas of how i can make things better help me.

I am really sorry about everything that you had to go through. You defenetly do not deserve any of that at all. Im also sorry about your parents. You need to call a help line like that other person gave you. Dont give up!! Hold tight for at least 3 more years and then you will be able to take care of yourself, get a job and things like that. No one wants you to die and God doesnt eather thats why you are still here. You have a reason for living. You will find a nice family one day. Just be patient and wait. It will take time but when you do you will be so happy!! But Im just asking for you to stop thinking about suicide! You dont deserve that. Best of luck! ♥ [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
lilangelshan08 answered Saturday May 21 2005, 7:09 pm: first off, the cutting/burning etc. isn't the answer, whatever agency keeps putting you in these homes needs to be investigated. you need to call the police and report this and tell them that the foster care agency itsn't doing anything but making it worse [ lilangelshan08's advice column | Ask lilangelshan08 A Question ]
cynicalladvice answered Saturday May 21 2005, 1:45 am: Cutting and drugs/alcholhol are never the answer!! Talk to the person putting you in these homes and see if they can find anything better. but most importantly, keep on living, find something you enjoy, like music or art or dancing, and use it as an outlet to deal with all this.

The_Guy answered Thursday May 19 2005, 2:28 am: No. Do NOT kill yourself. Althpgh, I would feel the same way. I felt the EXACT SAME WAY when my parents divorced. My mom is such a bitch I couldn't stand it.
Anyway, here's what you do: Just stay away from people (Not all the time) to be alone for a while. Then when you feel better go as far as you can to find good parents. You want them right?
Oh, I have a question for you: How are you using a computer? [ The_Guy's advice column | Ask The_Guy A Question ]
karenR answered Thursday May 19 2005, 2:03 am: You certainly don't want to kill yourself. Things will get better. Sounds like you have had a rough time of it. You need to talk to the foster care people and tell them how you are feeling. They should be able to get you some counselling. Do they hook you up with a social worker to talk to? If so, keep him/her up to date on how you are being treated. If they don't have one for you then call social services yourself and complain if they give you major problems. Or tell a teacher. Don't give up. Get tough and fight back. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
