    I understand that in your depressed state you feel as if a life of constant pain or suicide are your only two choices. But, I promise they are not. 20 years ago, there were no good medications for depression. Today there are many, and they are getting better all the time. Listen to your doctors. I understand you don't want to leave home, but this might be something you have to do for a while. With therapy, medication and a willingness to do what it takes, things will get better. You may have to fight depression and struggle with it off and on, but your life is worth living, worth working hard to improve.

    I sincerely wish you all the best and I will pray for you.

    Newsflash! Killing yourself will accomplish nothing. Besides, your life can't be [too much] worse than most teenagers', and is nothing near as shitty as my life. It may console you to know that I live in Nigeria, in Africa, whhich is practically a continental ghetto. Life is hard here, harder than in almost all places. People die everyday like it's nothing and I've lost a good number of family members. I'm ALSO a teenager. Noone understands me too and it's okay. I don't need them to be a person, and you don't either. Never let people push you about, and if you kill yourself, you only prove one thing; you're too cowardly to face life. Your parents love you, and that's why they are concerned. If you really had noone, it would be twice as hard (trust me when I say this, cuz I have friends who are orphans or have only one parent, maybe even one uncaring abusive parent). There is nothing you can't overcome. Life is like that. Dont see everything as a problem. Everyone, even rich celebrities have problems. When you truly live is when you kick those problems in the *** and rise over them, become stronger and show them who's boss. Remember also that dying won't end everything. Your problems on earth may finish but have you ever considered what waits on the other side? You DON'T want to know, and I'm sure it won't be pleasant. If it helps anything, get a good number of friends. Other peoplle always distract you from your own pronlems. Make friends. Don't wait for them to come along cuz people don't just...come along like that. Remember, people live in places like Sudan, Afghanistan,Liberia, suffering way worse things than you possibly can.

    If it helps, ask your doctor for a drug named Dilatin. It has a wide range of functions but it basically just calms your nerves. But don't expect a drug to help you forever. Break free of your depression. Fight life and whatever it brings you. Stop worrying about how much pain you will cause your family, they are not you; and killing yourself won't help them understand you.

    This is probably inadvisable but when all else fails, resort to apathy. DON'T GIVE A **** WHAT ANYONE THINKS. THEY ARE NOT YOU, WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND YOU AND PROBABLY DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. AND THEY DON'T MATTER, CUZ THEU ARE ALL **** ANYWAY. I find this thought consoling whanever I'm faced with depression or suicidal tendencies. I say a great **** YOU to the depressin and go out there and enjoy myself. You should too. ENJOY YUR LIFE AND **** YOUR PROBLEMS. Laugh. It helps.

    And I really am African. I know it may seem like a lie but It's very true. My name is Imoh. It means "rich" (yeah, I wish I was), and Africa really can be apiece of ****. Trust mee when I say my life sucks WAY more than yours ever can. Peace. Live on. Fight this life and Don't forget: **** YOUR PROBLEMS AND HAVE FUN. Now go drop the Knife, or rope or whatever you were planning to use. Heh heh.Just Kidding/.

    your not hurting your family by getting help..you would hurt them more if you actually suceeded with your plan. You need to get some serious help and get into a facility of some sort. I understand what's its like and its not a normal balanced life that your living..and in order for you to have that you need the proper help in doing so.
