I'm thirteen and female, and I'm tired of living. I need a quick way to kill myself -- you know, a way that will work and won't get me in the hospital like last time.
Before you guys tell me to get help, I'm going to say that I already have gotten help. I have tried everything I can think of -- medication, therapy, going to the mental hospital -- but I still want my life to end. I have been depressed since I was ten and nothing has helped.
I have made plans to kill myself before, but none of them have worked. I once found a rope, tied it into a noose, and hid it in my closet, planning to use it later. But my mom found it and took it away. (She knows that I am suicidal.)
And when I tried slitting my throat, I just ended up in the emergency room for hours.
My mom has taken everything away that's sharp. I can't cut myself and I can't stab myself or anything.
So I'm out of ideas. Maybe I could try running out in front of a car, but I would probably end up in the emergency room again.

When I read the part about cutting your throat I realised how serious your situation was. In all the things you've tried I think there's one incredibly important thing you haven't been told: Jesus loves you.
The God who made you and who's made sure that your attempts to kill yourself haven't worked so far loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Don't end your life before learning what that plan is. Get your hands on a bible - if you can't find a physical one there's an online bible on www.bible.is/EN1NIV/Matt/1. I chose the NIV version, because it's easier to understand for the first time reading of the bible. There are no words for you to read in the link, just push the play button and listen. It will read the whole of the new testament to you. Listen to at least the whole book of Matthew to start with.
After that pray.Be completely honest when you pray. God in the bible tells us that He hears every prayer to Him. If you need to talk to me at all, my email address is siren713_naga@yahoo.com.
I will be praying for you, Megan. You just seem like a Megan.

You have either not tried everything or you are not compliant with the help you are receiving if you are still trying to hurt yourself. Please don't tell me I'm wrong for there are many of us on this site who have been where you are and have both the physical and mental scars to prove it. Suicide is not the answer to whatever is bothering you. Your attempts, including writing to us is another way of asking for help or wanting attention. Both of which you know is based in the depression you suffer from.
Now if you want an ear to listen to you, an ear that has been where you are now then this is what we do. For as I said there are those of us on here, in many different age groups, who have been where you are now.
We have learned that whatever problems we have there are solutions for them if we will be open to the help we are receiving or seeking. Have you truly opened yourself to the help that you are getting? Have you told the doctors and therapist what is truly bothering you?
Understand one thing about the help being offered to you. EVERYTHING YOU SAY TO THE DOCTORS AND THERAPISTS IS CONFIDENTIAL. NOTHING GETS BACK TO YOUR PARENTS. It has to be this way for these people to help you. So whatever it is that is causing you to feel as you do you can tell them.
You can even write and tell me in a private message. The only people who would see what you write would be me and the webmaster. After you write whatever you have written and sent erase your browser history and no one will see what you wrote. Do the same after you read what I respond with when I respond.
Depending on what is at the root of your problem there are many different ways I can offer you help by suggesting places you can turn to for help.
Since you have not said what is bothering you I am going to take a stab in the dark and offer you two different places you can seek help from now. They will offer you help from two different ends of what I can think may be bothering you to this end. Both are hotlines where you can speak with people in absolute total confidentiality.
The first is "Kids Help Phone" for young people 20 and under. They specialize in helping with problems young people face today in school and at home and social problems. The number for the hotline is: 1-800-668-6868.
The other is an organization called "RAINN " which stands for; Rape, Abuse, Incest, National Network. As I said I'm taking a shot in the dark here though if you are being abused these people can help you. There is no reason anyone should put up with being abused be the abuser be a parent, relative or close family friend. The people of RAIN will help you with the proper things to do to stop the abuse and how to get help for yourself so you can get on with your life. There hotline number is: 1-800-656-HOPE.
