I hate my life nothing is going smooth I mean whenever something good happen it doesn't last. My family is all messed up my dad gets away with anything but doesn't like when me or my brother does. He is the kind of guy who likes to make people feel bad about themselves by constantly putting us down in one way or another. Mom doesn't do anything about it she just says to ignore him but it isn't easy because it does whenever he can. My brother dooesn't pull his weight around the house but still gets away with anything because he does good in school and is always doing things with his friends and he says the only thing I'm good for is buying things for us. Then there is me I do my share of things I have a job and on my days off do things around the house like I'm suppose to but whenever I want to keep something that means alot to me they try to make me feel like I don't deserve it even though I do everything for everyone else even when it doesn't make any cents because I always care about everybody no matter what they do to me what should I do because this has been going on for years and my family refuses to get professional help. What should I do? One other thing I have friends but they all moved except for a few.
it wears me out and im tired of things going wrong.
i dont really know what to tell you, cause i dont really know what to do about it myself.
just find someone you can confide in. thats what im trying to do. and try not to make your parents upset. just take things one at a time. find someone you can talk to at anytime who will be there for you. you can always talk to me, but i dont really know you, so im not sure how much help i can be. i understand tho.

your dad obviously wants to see you fail. so why not whack him in the face and show him that you can?
im really sorry you're turning to suicide. you never know what could lie ahead of you. no matter how hard it gets you need to look on the bright side, and keep saying to yourself, "psh. to hell with what they say, im amazing!"
since your parent wont give you professional help, give yourself help. go to church and read the bible. turn to god, because he has all the answers. after all the bible states "you are beautifully and wonderfully made." god said that. and your dad has no right to rip that beautiful feeling from under you. thats not fair. he's the one being ugly.
i hope you turn this situation around, and soon choose not to commit suicide. =/

You know how people say all the time that you can't choose your family? Well, they're wrong. You can. In a few years you can choose someone to be with that loves you and will take care of you and will give you everything that you deserve. You can create a whole new family of your own to be happy with for the rest of your life. I can tell by the things that you've said that you're an amazing person with a great future ahead of you. It should be easy for you to find a really awesome significant other to be with. For now though, you need to find a way to get through all of this. I would recommend talking to a counselor at your school. They're free, confidential and right there waiting for you. If your suicidal thoughts get very serious, call one of these hotlines. They're free and the people there are professionals and would be able to help you out the most.

Your adult life has not really even begun yet and being stuck at home with a family that is not a positive support to you and your goals is holding you back. Your friends have moved on, but you are taking care of everyone at home and thinking of them, even though you are not appreciated. The best thing for you is to begin to make real plans to get out on your own. You already have a job. Are you going to college? There are junior colleges that can help you get started with furthering your education for little money. Another option is to expect nothing back. This takes a real level of maturity on your part, but if you can't get out of the house, you must find a way to make it work for your best interests at least temporarily. The key will be to resist taking anyone too seriously and any comments personally. If someone has an attitude problem, then it IS really their problem. It is not yours, so don't let them make it yours, by giving it too much importance in your life. I bet you have always had to work hard for approval and you are tired of it. I don't blame you for being pissed off or frustrated. It happens to the best of people. There is a billion wonderful reasons to get out and really enjoy and experience what is to come in your life. There will always be challenges, but there will be things that will be wonderful beyond belief, too. You can't make everyone happy and you don't need to live life waiting for approval. At 24, I went through a very heartbreaking experience...and felt like giving up almost everyday for months. I pressed on, and soon I began to realize that my life was my own to create and re-create each and every day. Mine alone, and no one can wreck that for us. Don't take your life. Take your life, BACK.

If you have a job, and do what you're supposed to, then things should be fine. Don't let anyone walk all over you, and put you down. Especially your father.
