You need to understand that love sometimes runs its course. That is what has happened in the case of your parents. It is normal for you to be feeling this way to a certain point but you need to understand that these feelings are temporary and if you were to end your life it would cause loads more arguments between your parents. They are taking steps to make life better for both them and you. No more having to listen to them argue, no more upset/angry parents... Surely you can understand that life will be better with them apart? Imagine two christmases, two birthdays etc..

The hurt you are feeling about your parents divorce is normal to a point. Just remember one thing; you are in no way responsible for their divorce. Both mom and dad still love you and always will.
Being suicidal over their divorce is not good. Suicide will not resolve things and if anything will only drive a wedge further between them as they will blame each other for your attempt. You are depressed over their divorce and your suicidal thoughts are a result of your depression.
If you are actively having suicidal thoughts pick up the phone and dial 911. I am old enough to be your grandfather and I am asking you to do this as it is the right thing to do to help yourself and your parents.
If you have not been able to tell your parents how depressed you are; by dialing 911 help will be sent to you. Their is nothing to be scared of and no one will be in trouble for you reaching out for help. What will happen is you will get the help you need and let mom and dad know how their fighting is hurting you.
There is also a phone number you can call 1-800-273-TALK. This is the National Suicide Hotline. It is available 24/7 365 days a year. The call takers are available to talk with you and to help you find help in your home town.
My advice though is if you are feeling suicidal is to call 911 as it is the fastest way to get help.

If you are suicidal, call the suicide prevention hotline at 1-800-273-TALK. Suicide is NOT the answer that will solve your problems. In fact, it will just make things worse for everybody else you love and care about. Watching your parents fight and go through divorce isn't easy, but you have to remember that things will get better. Try to remember those things in life that make you happy. It could even be little things like a favorite song or book that will cheer you up. Also, you should talk to your parents about seeking professional help for your depression. I hope this helped :)
