my parents, i love them, btu somteimes they get on my last nerve. when i mean last, i mean last. right now im not doing so well in school, and everytime we get into a fight, that is the first thing they talk about my grades. Sometimes they don't know how stressfull it is nowadays in school, especially how i take an AP class only as a soph. Sometimes i feel like noone understands me. Theyve always been on my case about my grades, and i try to bring them up, but its the pressure i get from them thats making me loose my sanity.Sometimes i think about killing myself, and everytime i do, i get closer and closer. I don't want to, but sometimes i feel like it's the right thing to do. Sometimes i think that by me just leaving, itll make them happier. So they won't be embarresed of me. Idk, i can't talk to them about it cause they think im crazy. My friends don't even bother anymore. Im loosing it... please i need some advice on how to get through this.

You also need to talk to them about being more supportive of you. Now I want to raise a question is there a reason (besides your parents) that you aren't doing so well in school? If there is, this reasons needs to be confronted as well.You say school is stressfull, I cant stress enough how important it is that you go and talk to a teacher or another adult you trust about why school is getting to you so much.
Some times we put a bit too much pressure on ourselves and if we don't talk about our problems it just gets worst. I also think you should concentrate on having a bit of fun and not worry about school as silly as it sounds it helps alot.
Then I can assure you your parents would not be happier if you killed yourself. There is no reason ever to kill yourself. Just by asking for advice you are already on your way to getting through this.
Talk to your friends, your true friends will stick with you and help you. And again please talk to a teacher or another adult.

Im sorry to hear that you think no one understands you, but that isnt true.
Obviously your parents really are worried about your future in school. Maybe you could try a little harder in school, so they dont put as much pressure on you. I think you need to talk to a counselor at school or ask your teachers how you can bring your grades up and if you have any missing assingments or anything. That helped me a ton!!
Also, nothing is worth killing yourself for!!
Right now may seem hard, but you and i both know that you'll get through this if you perservere!
Killing yourself is probably the most selfish thing you can do to yourself. I garuntee if you killed yourself your parents would be worse off with out you!! I mean you're they're child for god sakes!
hope i helped :) [ softball_babe42's advice column | Ask softball_babe42 A Question ]
