What did you do when you realized your dreams are just dreams? Please help. I'm suicidal.?

Question

I'm a suicidal person right now  I'm a writer too and I want/need publish novels. I'm seventeen this year and living here in the Philippines were poverty truly exists. What I've done this recent months or days were:

a) I dropped out from my college degree (Nutrition and Dietetics) cause I couldn't anymore concentrate studying, I'm not happy for what I'm doing and often tell myself that I don't face the world when I'm going in school and not happy, though

b) I told my parents and aunts about dropping our from college but they insist me to go or continue in another school with Educartion or whatsoever but they never understand me and never listen to me. They want what they want about me but I couldn't anymore concentrate

c) Of my family's opinions made me more realized that I couldn't achieve my dreams and dreams are just dreams. I read that inventor Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein didn't have a degree in school but great people and I want to be like them. I have dreams, too, that I could only achieve it but things don't flow with me and contrast me. Anyway, I think, what people who surround me think that education plays a very important role but I believe that it was only for those ordinary people who have no dreams and just wants money in their entire lifetime. And I'm not like that. I want to achieve my dreams and it's the only thing that makes me happy for being achieved success.

I'm totally depressed and don't know what to do. I plan to runawat from home but I couldn't run into anyone's house and I don't want to sell my body and it would just make me worse. I really don't know what to do. If I tell it to a therapist or a churchman, the results is still the same. I just hope that a bungalow house is built for me where I could live alone and writing novels.

please do not run away and dont kill yourself...that is just stupid because things will get better

are you a genious? well einstein was so stay in school! YOu get a degree and you will always be able to have valuable skills to get a decent job and earn an honest living.

nothing could strengthen you more right now(except God!) than sticking it out! not running away, not giving up , completing school....you will feel and be a stronger person for it...and you will love yourself more  for being so strong. 

you may think you are so smart to realize that you CAN MAKE it as others have so why can't you, you are right , you can , anyone can , but you will have a better chance to make it with an education...with an education you can be the writer you want to be and the job to pay for the bungalow! 

Keep your head up, dont listen to your negative foolish thoughts, they are destructive and of no use at all to you!

Pretend for a moment you are in the city selling your body and after some time you are ill and  discover you have HIV, then someone rapes you , then someone is about to kill you and throw you in the trash can , now pretend for a moment you had one wish at that moment and that wish was to stay home and to go to school, and pretend your wish was granted and poof! here you are reading this as your wish had been granted. and suddenly you realize life is not bad at all and tomorrow you go to school happy to be given a second chance.

Now, Quit wasting this precious gift of life God has blessed you with!
Go hug your mother!

A writer shouldn't have such a weak will power, There is a saying <I recognized God after breaking of my will>. I had a smooth life and was doing well in Singapore Airlines before 9/11. After 9/11 I lost my job and for two years I was job less, but then initially Eva Air picked me up and than Gulf Air picked me from Eva. Although I am earning more but still I misses the respect of being Singapore Airlines staff and working environment. 

Remember wheal of life never stops and in this wheal some times u will b up and some times u will b down. 

Don't blame your country, thing about the people who live in Africa, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Poland and many poor Russian states.

B a positive person, don't b selfish and think how u can help your Nation. For this u will have to decide in which field u can bloom, either being a writter or any other field.

how realistic are your dreams? Dreams at age 14 are generally unattainable or unrealistic simply because you were still a child at the time. Rethink them. For me putting the dreams down on paper first helps. Then, write down a course of action to attain those dreams. Any dreams a person has generally require hard work. It doesn't just happen. And if you off yourself, poof, no more dreams, no more anything. Because you prayed about your dreams doesn't mean you will get them, it may mean God said no. What makes you think God has to do things for you. He gave you life, a free will, the earth, the ability to think and do. He is not going to drop a career or a bag of money or a decent husband on your door step. I am curious as to what your dreams are that in 5 years time they cause you to want to die because you do not have them yet. Your life is just beginning.
