Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
I know you want to getout of this alone, but being alone really hasn't helped you so far. You need to talk to someone you can trust, a family member, adult, sibling, someone who will get you out of this. You are headed down such a hard dangerous path, there of course is hope though, just talk to someone, explain to them exactly what your feeling.
I really like listening to people if you want to email me, please feel free to do so, I would love to help you get out of this mess. The first step is always admitting you have aproblem, good for you. Youll be in good hands now.
If you get time listen to "The Last Night" by skillet, its a really good song, and it will help you :)
All the best!! :)

i think you should talk about it with someone you trust, tell them how you feel and work something together, try finding some kind of activity like writing or playing an instrument to get your mind out of that thoughts.
if you need someone to talk to feel free to contact me, i would love to help you

*EDIT*
Sounds like a worthwhile thing to do!
Hope it is a success. I meant to write
boyfriend/girlfriend. I got carried away. :)
Good for you! Admitting you have a problem
is a great first step. The hardest one for
a lot of people.
I understand you wanting to fix this by
yourself. But it may not be possible for
you to do it completely without help. It
is not a bad thing at all to ask for help.
Let me explain a little.
You are 13. You have a long road of
temptation ahead. The teen years are
probably the hardest years in the world
to live through.
Everything seems so huge and important!
Other kids can be cruel and thoughtless.
They all want to drink and act the fool.
For someone with a drinking problem,
those are the very things you'll have
to avoid and learn to deal with. There
are other kids in your age group who
have been where you are and can help
you deal with the pressures.
You have depression problems and life
is full of obstacles you may need help
dealing with. Especially at your age.
There will be boyfriends, and breakups
and all sorts of things you may need
help dealing with.
Not saying you can't do a lot of it
on your own. You will have to be strong
and you can do it. The goal is to keep
it up when life gets tough. So, if you
need the help, there is no shame in
asking for and taking help. We all need
it from time to time. :)
Best of luck.

First: Keep fighting! You can get through this, with a little effort. I promise you that much.
I'd really highly recommend that you tell someone close to you. At the top of the list I'd say to tell your parents or a school guidance counselor or psychologist if you have any means of getting to one. You may think no on would understand, or you'd get in trouble, but they'd be more concerned with helping you and listening to you than anything else. You're in a very bad situation and need someone who can take care of, and nurture you.
If you feel you can't do that, AT LEAST tell a close friend. What would it hurt if someone knew..? It'd help, just in case something ever happened. Overall, whoever you tell, you need someone close to you to watch your back. You need someone to be able to talk your feelings over, because the situation is a ton harder when you're in it alone -- Especially at such a young age.
Have you considered telling an aunt or uncle, maybe? Cousin? Sibling? Anyone, please. You may not want anyone to know anything was even wrong, but it'll come up in the future anyway. You'll get better so much faster if you let someone help you. I strongly encourage you to tell someone who can take charge and help you snap out of this.
And if something ever gets so bad that you need to, call one of the numbers provided in the last answer. It's scary, but you won't regret it if you do. The help will never hurt you; What you're doing now WILL.
Please fight these issues. It will only get worse if you give up and feel sorry for yourself. It's good that you want to get better, just know that it's going to be very difficult, but you can do it!
XOXO

*EDIT: If you feel like there's no one at home or school, in a friend sense.. Try to see a counselor. They're not as bad as their reputations have made them seem, and they have to be completely confidential.

Well since you have anonymity here, you would get the same if you tried a hotline.
Here's the national suicide hotline number:
1-800-SUICIDE
1-800-784-2433
Please seek some help. I know you said you didn't want anyone knowing, but it will be better for you in the long run if you just tell someone close to you.
