Suicide
I am a young girl, almost 18 and if you knew me, you would never think that i would be contemplating ending my life...but i am. i feel like i dont have anything or anyone worth staying alive for. to be honest, i dont care if it hurt my family either. i dont give a shit. and maybe thats wrong, but its how i feel. i am scared to grow up, and be out in the world, alone. i dont feel the need to stay here, yet im scared to leave. i think it would be easier to be dead and not have to feel all the fucked emotions i am currently feeling. i feel stupid being on here and talking about this, but i am courious what others have to say. im not looking for someone to say, go see a doctor or that im just sick, but if you have anything else to say, id would be apprciated.

It's hard to believe that you have no dreams, goals, things to look forward to. When your life has just begun. Your 18 now your not always going to have your parents and teachers right there telling you what to do, when to, and how to do it.
. You can go to college
Maybe your not the type to want to go meet new people, but things are going to change there, especially if you get out of the house. Mom and dad aren't going to pick up after you. You are going to do what you want when you want.
. You can date
I don't know about you but not a lot of things can make me as happy as a special someone.
. Learn something new, something you've always wanted to do
For me it was playing the guitar. I love rock music. When i find a new song that i like; i get a tab off the internet and learn how to play and sing it. Did you ever want something like that? Here are some ideas: A instrument, dancing, cooking, a sport, acting.
I don't think your stupid or sick; i just think your noticing things. The world is a big place; but you still have your family there. And even if you didn't life would still go on. Emotions are tough; the bad ones anyways. But i want you to do something. Remember the worst time in your life, or if its what your going through right now remember the second worse time. And then think about what happened after. Eventually things got better maybe even really good right? Right now your not doing so good but things will get better. Your young, im sure you have talents and things you like to do.
I really hope i changed your mind. And if there is anything at all i could do tell me.

Almost eighteen...Darling, your life has not yet begun, and you wish to end it? Look, I'm not going to tell you that there's something wrong with you, or that you need to go talk to a doctor. There are support groups which are very good at assisting people who deal with suicidal thoughts and emotions. But that's not for everyone. Honestly, you posting your situation on here- whether you realize it or not- is a cry for help. I am very happy you have chosen to do so, as I know it is indeed a very difficult thing to do. However, I know what it's like to feel like you have nothing to live for. I've been there once before. What you need to do is be strong, and give yourself a reason to live. Find a new hobby, make some new friends, or even start talking to old ones that you haven't seen in a while. It's hard to go to a trusted adult, and it's even harder to talk to a stranger. But if you have a close friend that will listen, maybe you should talk to them about what's on your mind once in a while. It's hard in this case to tell you exactly what to do, because everyone is different. But I will tell you one thing: NOTHING is worth taking your own life. Keep searching, and don't give up. Planning something for the future is sometimes a very helpful technique. Picture in your head or write down a very detailed description of a possible trip you would some day like to take. Try to think of goals, and achieve them! You can do anything if you put your mind to it- including finding a reason to live.
Hang in there, kid.

Hell yeah it'd be easier to be a chicken and go give up on life. HELL YEAH.
But the easy thing is hardly ever the truly right thing (unless you're talking about math). I speak as someone who once wanted to end their life as well.
There isn't a single person in this world who has never felt afraid of growing up. But who says you have to be alone? Who says you can't find something to live for? There's so many people out there who struggle to stay alive every day, yet you want to go ahead and give up. It doesn't make sense looking at it that way, does it?
I mean, if people are struggling to stay alive, there's gotta be something worth growing up for, something worth living for. You may not have found it yet, but it exists for everyone. Some people go "game over" like you want to before finding it.
I love life, despite the fact in the past I hated it and wanted to be shed of it.
Because I know that after a rough patch, happiness feels so amazing. After almost losing my life (nearly drowned, long story) I love it. You can hardly love something you're not afraid of losing--"One does not love breathing"
If everyone who felt scared of growing up went and kicked the bucket, we'd be extinct! LOL
I doubt this answer has convinced you of anything, but it's my two cents. Take it or leave it.
(I advise you take it, coz then you'll have 2 cents) ;-]
