There were many times when I felt like killing myself because I'd hate my life and I'd get into deep depression, like I'd cry myself to sleep...I wanna stop feeling that way, but I don't know how! Well, somedays I'll feel all great, but than other days I'll feel really depressed...I'm just hoping that one day it doesn't go too far so that I'll actually kill myself! What can I do to prevent myself from suicide???

A good start is seeing a professional counselor. Can you talk to your parents about this and get them to take you to one? A psychiatrist can also give you meds, if necessary. But you need to be very careful with the meds because some people, especially teenagers, can actually get worse on the meds. So you have to be monitored very closely if you choose to go this route. I don't want you to exclude that option though, because for other people they do work very well. So that doesn't mean don't try meds, it just means be alert.
If at any time you do think that you could go through with it and are a danger to yourself, call 911. You can also call a suicide hotline, but from my experience those aren't always that great. They often have volunteers working there who are not licensed professionals.
One more thing- make sure that you are taking care of the basics- that's VERY IMPORTANT.
Remember this acronmym: HALT.
It means don't let yourself get too:
Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired.
Not eating, lack of sleep, isolating yourself from people, all of those things make it WORSE, so try to at least take care of those basics.

So what i suggest is tel your parents go to a counciler just do something before you do somehing stupid

Are there any things that could have caused these thoughts and feelings? Does bipolar disease run in your family? I can tell by the way you asked your question is that there are so many things in your beautiful life you would love to accomplish, see, know. Surround yourself with what you are most comfortable with. Anything. But hurting yourself. Life is fleeting. Cherish it.
