You need to get yourself some help honey. Talk to someone you trust, a teacher, whatever. Suicide is not the answer. I've had a few friends that committed suicide and everyone was so upset about it. Her parents will never be able to get over it because they think it's their fault it happened. Suicide may sound great right now but you really don't realize how many people you will hurt after you do it. Also, what if you are not successful? There are horrible affects after.

I'm not going to lecture you or tell you what to do with your life. Just remember that there is always someone out there that has it worse than you do. There are poor people living out on the street, with no hope of ever escaping poverty, and they haven't killed themselves. There are people who've experienced tragedies that are far greater than what you are going through. They are nameless faces that you'll never meet, and they're living through their hardship. Please remember that it is possible to come back from any situation, as long as you are willing to put forth the effort. Also, the fact that people are responding to you as they are is something you should take into consideration. The fact that complete strangers care enough about you to take the time to try to help you as they are. Please just think before doing anything rash.

I'm not going to be rude, but I'm going to be forward. Nobody here is going to help you commit suicide. You need to suck it up.

Life is going to throw a million and one obstacles at you, and whether you're ready for them or not, you need to deal & accept them.

I don't know what you've went through because you didn't say, but trust me when I say that I understand where you're coming from & probably what you're going through.

I have been to hell & back in life. I've had friends die in Iraq, friends steal my boyfriends, people backstab me, my parents almost divorcing, my mom kicking my dad out, meeting my dad's mistress, everything. Not to mention, I was a cutter for many years, and I'm proud to say I haven't cut myself in almost a year.

I always was in the position where I thought my life was over, and that I should end everything because nothing was going to get better & that I would never find happiness.

However, I was too much of a chicken shit to kill myself, so I never did, and I kept going & dealing with my life. And then last year, my life got insanely better.

I met this awesome guy who turned my life around, and changed me for the better. Since meeting him, I have been doing things completely different, and have even moved out of my house.

I think you really need to see a psychiatrist about what you're going through, or talk to someone. A trusted adult, a parent, a sibling, a friend.. Anyone you trust is someone good to talk to you. They may not always understand, but they're always going to be willing to help, or to get you the help you need if they themselves cannot supply it to you.

If you need somebody to be there for you, I am more than willing to help you. You can message me on MySpace, or Facebook. I am also willing to help through IM and E-Mail. My email is 123abchristina@gmail.com, and my sn is on my column as well as my MySpace.

My link to Facebook is: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Feel free to message me anytime, and I will always be willing to help you, because I understand, and I know that this isn't it. You're not alone even when you think you are.

WittyUsernameHere answered Wednesday April 1 2009, 8:33 pm:
When I was 12-14 I could not imagine my life ever getting better. For a variety of reasons I won't get into (still too painful) I was a fucked up mess of a person. I hated myself and everyone around me.

I thought about what you're thinking about. I came close a few times, too.

I realized, at some point, that in a very fundamental way I didn't care about myself. I've never once in my life thought it would be a tragedy if I died. To a degree, I still don't. Its something I'll grip with for the rest of my life, probably.

But I found something I did care about. My friends. My family. The people in my life. What got me out was the decision to, as best I could, live for others. I'm on the path to being a psychiatrist and family counselor, I'm elbow deep in fixing my friends lives, and I'm working on supporting my girlfriend (whom I truly love more than life itself) so that she can achieve and experience what she wants in life.

Seeing my presence be a positive impact on the lives of those around me has been one of the most profound and life changing things I've personally experienced. Its made me a better person, because I understand I cannot neglect myself, but if I can manage to not do that I still have alot to give to other people.

No matter what you think, there are people who would be fucked up to know you were gone. Friends and family. Ending your life is selfish and shows that you need a little perspective.

I'm relatively happy right now. I couldn't imagine those words ever coming out of my mouth when I was where you are. I have a great relationship, great friends, and am on the path to my career (however many long years its going to take me).

You're 16. I remember being 16, and I know that at that age its really not possible to understand how truly young you are. But you are, life has ALOT more to unwind before you kick the bucket, and while the bad parts suck right now, later on you get to be an adult, move past them, and understand them and yourself better. It gives you perspectives on life and appreciating things that others can't have.

If you make this choice, you miss out on everything that is possible. In the span of human existence, thats alot.

To answer your specific question, there are no ways to reliably and painlessly off yourself. A fair amount of teen suicide attempts end up in the hospital very messed up, get counseling and get over what was sending them in that direction, and then had alot of things to learn to live with after.

I can promise one thing.

If you don't kill yourself, you will be glad you made that choice later on. As long as you're willing to look for it, life always gets better.

heyzx3 answered Wednesday April 1 2009, 7:54 pm:
Ok, let me put it this way
your alive, and healthy. There is people out there that are suffering and slowly dying, but put up with it because they want to live their life out. You never know what is going to happen if you don't live your life out.
if the depression is eating at you that bad, ending your life will not silence it. Instead, the ending of your life may drive more people to follow your example, especially people you love. seriously, i know people say dont give up dont give up and you think they are just feeding your crap, but really they are right.
and you may say there is no one left who loves you, or that you love but really there IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT DOES.
please just take the time to read this passage that i have found.:


"If you are feeling suicidal now, please stop long enough to read this. It will only take about five minutes. I do not want to talk you out of your bad feelings. I am not a therapist or other mental health professional - only someone who knows what it is like to be in pain.

I don’t know who you are, or why you are reading this page. I only know that for the moment, you’re reading it, and that is good. I can assume that you are here because you are troubled and considering ending your life. If it were possible, I would prefer to be there with you at this moment, to sit with you and talk, face to face and heart to heart. But since that is not possible, we will have to make do with this.

I have known a lot of people who have wanted to kill themselves, so I have some small idea of what you might be feeling. I know that you might not be up to reading a long book, so I am going to keep this short. While we are together here for the next five minutes, I have five simple, practical things I would like to share with you. I won’t argue with you about whether you should kill yourself. But I assume that if you are thinking about it, you feel pretty bad.

Well, you’re still reading, and that’s very good. I’d like to ask you to stay with me for the rest of this page. I hope it means that you’re at least a tiny bit unsure, somewhere deep inside, about whether or not you really will end your life. Often people feel that, even in the deepest darkness of despair. Being unsure about dying is okay and normal. The fact that you are still alive at this minute means you are still a little bit unsure. It means that even while you want to die, at the same time some part of you still wants to live. So let’s hang on to that, and keep going for a few more minutes.



Start by considering this statement:

“Suicide is not chosen; it happens
when pain exceeds
resources for coping with pain.”

That’s all it’s about. You are not a bad person, or crazy, or weak, or flawed, because you feel suicidal. It doesn’t even mean that you really want to die - it only means that you have more pain than you can cope with right now. If I start piling weights on your shoulders, you will eventually collapse if I add enough weights... no matter how much you want to remain standing. Willpower has nothing to do with it. Of course you would cheer yourself up, if you could.


Don’t accept it if someone tells you, “that’s not enough to be suicidal about.” There are many kinds of pain that may lead to suicide. Whether or not the pain is bearable may differ from person to person. What might be bearable to someone else, may not be bearable to you. The point at which the pain becomes unbearable depends on what kinds of coping resources you have. Individuals vary greatly in their capacity to withstand pain.

When pain exceeds pain-coping resources, suicidal feelings are the result. Suicide is neither wrong nor right; it is not a defect of character; it is morally neutral. It is simply an imbalance of pain versus coping resources.

You can survive suicidal feelings if you do either of two things: (1) find a way to reduce your pain, or (2) find a way to increase your coping resources. Both are possible.

Now I want to tell you five things to think about.


1 You need to hear that people do get through this -- even people who feel as badly as you are feeling now. Statistically, there is a very good chance that you are going to live. I hope that this information gives you some sense of hope.

2 Give yourself some distance. Say to yourself, “I will wait 24 hours before I do anything.” Or a week. Remember that feelings and actions are two different things - just because you feel like killing yourself, doesn’t mean that you have to actually do it right this minute. Put some distance between your suicidal feelings and suicidal action. Even if it’s just 24 hours. You have already done it for 5 minutes, just by reading this page. You can do it for another 5 minutes by continuing to read this page. Keep going, and realize that while you still feel suicidal, you are not, at this moment, acting on it. That is very encouraging to me, and I hope it is to you.

3 People often turn to suicide because they are seeking relief from pain. Remember that relief is a feeling. And you have to be alive to feel it. You will not feel the relief you so desperately seek, if you are dead.

4 Some people will react badly to your suicidal feelings, either because they are frightened, or angry; they may actually increase your pain instead of helping you, despite their intentions, by saying or doing thoughtless things. You have to understand that their bad reactions are about their fears, not about you.

But there are people out there who can be with you in this horrible time, and will not judge you, or argue with you, or send you to a hospital, or try to talk you out of how badly you feel. They will simply care for you. Find one of them. Now. Use your 24 hours, or your week, and tell someone what’s going on with you. It is okay to ask for help. Try:

Send an anonymous e-mail to The Samaritans
Call 1-800-SUICIDE in the U.S.
Teenagers, call Covenant House NineLine, 1-800-999-9999
Look in the front of your phone book for a crisis line
Call a psychotherapist
Carefully choose a friend or a minister or rabbi, someone who is likely to listen
But don’t give yourself the additional burden of trying to deal with this alone. Just talking about how you got to where you are, releases an awful lot of the pressure, and it might be just the additional coping resource you need to regain your balance.

5 Suicidal feelings are, in and of themselves, traumatic. After they subside, you need to continue caring for yourself. Therapy is a really good idea. So are the various self-help groups available both in your community and on the Internet.


Well, it’s been a few minutes and you’re still with me. I’m really glad.

Since you have made it this far, you deserve a reward. I think you should reward yourself by giving yourself a gift. The gift you will give yourself is a coping resource. Remember, back up near the top of the page, I said that the idea is to make sure you have more coping resources than you have pain. So let’s give you another coping resource, or two, or ten...! until they outnumber your sources of pain.


Now, while this page may have given you some small relief, the best coping resource we can give you is another human being to talk with. If you find someone who wants to listen, and tell them how you are feeling and how you got to this point, you will have increased your coping resources by one. Hopefully the first person you choose won’t be the last. There are a lot of people out there who really want to hear from you. It’s time to start looking around for one of them.

Now: I’d like you to call someone."



you are so young, you've yet to go to college, or even finish highschool. you have no clue what will come! dont stop the future from happening. please, please this about this, because after you commit suicide there is no going back.

dannigirl answered Wednesday April 1 2009, 6:23 pm:
hey, i know that you are depressed and everything, but you should NEVER even think about doing that! you should stop feeling bad for urself and stop being so selfish and just look at the bright side of life. poeple who say that they want to do that are selfish and if they have any siblings, or friends, or family anywhere in the world. then they should just think about what their friends and family would think! they would probably want to do the same thing! so if u have any younger siblings, then what would they think of u?

Life is meant to be enjoyable and fun.

Years ago, I saw no reason in living.
But I also saw no reason in killing myself either.

I thought a lot about things. And I figured out all the things I wanted to do. Help others in any way I can. Go to different countries to learn new things.

Write down your thoughts.
Go out to places.
Watch or read something
happy/cute.

Don't give up.
