I hate my life, what should I do?
I don't like my life, I have parents who don't care - they smoke in the house considering I have Athsma and a bad cough, I have 3 sisters and only like 1 of those, I get bullied t school and only had 1 or 3 friends, I have a low self-asteem, I am not very clever (Maths and ICT) are the only thing I am clever at. I have a lisp (when I say things it's just embarrasses me), two teachers embarrassed me and I have dandruff in my hair, and an itchy scrotum. The only things I actually enjoy about life is playing on the computer or playing with my best friend (which doesn't happen anymore) because we dont see each other often, meaning I am on the computer too much. I have a dodgy sleep pattern (stay awake most nights), always late to school, and I always get the blame for things.
What should I do ?
I am 14 years old.

I think I can relate somewhat to how you're feeling. I don't have much advice on your parents smoking but at least for what happens at school I would recommend doing what you can to ignore who ever bullies you. Remember that bullies usually want to get some sort of power through bullying and if you don't give them this satisfaction they'll usually get frustrated and stop. If not I would tell a teacher. You might want to get dandruff shampoo and some medicine for your scrotum itch. I believe its okay to have only a few close friends, as long as you are able to keep social. I recommend that you give a strong effort to try and catch up with your best friend. I know that when you're depressed you usually don't want to be social, but trust me this helps. Maybe try finding some more activities that you really like doing would help. Having these things to do can help pull you though some hard days and make your life overall more positive. Also having someone to talk to about your issues can really help. I'm not really sure what to say about your sleep, maybe try getting off of the computer about an hour before you go to sleep can help (bright light tells the brain its time to be awake.) As for being late to school I'm can't say much more than try to keep a schedule when it comes to your sleep, this can probably make your mornings easier. And with getting blamed I really have no idea what's happening, maybe try to keep some sort of evidence of stuff that will prove your innocence about stuff that you're usually blamed for. Lastly if you ever feel driven to suicide please try to talk to somebody about it, maybe a close friend, before you do. Its easy to get caught up in the moment with feeling suicidal, I recommend that you at least try waiting for a day or two before you might attempt it. This isn't to make you feel awkward about any of this, I'm just thinking ahead to something that may help you avoid a really stressful situation.
I hope that this helps you and that you feel happier soon.

Wow ,the dandruff,try a good dandruff shampoo,the itchy scrotum,hmm,well being a guy i'd say talcum powder or a good body powder,you could check with your mom and see if you might be allergic to the soap that she washes with.At being smart there are a lot of people out there that aren't to smart but we get along in life,if your good in math there are many different courses to take to advance your skills.But the computer,well,cut back on it some,get out try to enjoy life,meet new people,it starts with just saying hi, how's it going,the lisp is a draw back,but hey,tell them this is me like it or lump it.The asthma,wow, your parents have either going to have to get an air puirfier or else.They have to understand that this is not healthy for you or for them.Keep the chin up kiddo.

You need to get of the computer and the internet. Because you are using it to escape life.
Instead try to get out the house more often, and communicate to people in any way, and practice your social skills. Better social skills lead to more friends. Also, improve yourself physically, work out, jogging etc. This helps on the long run, trust me. Having better social skills and being physically fit will help you with your self-esteem, you will be happier and stronger. Itchy scrotum ? Its probably just hygiene, shower every day, and try to stay clean.
You can't change your family, you have to learn to live with it, once you are old enough, it wont matter.
This is all advice I can give you. You just have to stay positive and WORK on your problems.

Listen, your parents. Tell them and keep telling them you have f00king athsma and they are being very inconsiderate towards you. tell them how you feel. tell them i really hate when you smoke in the house. dont you care? Dont storm off and wait for an answer. If they beat you dont be afraid of them. Let them do some pain on you. And tell them pain wont change me.... I got bullied at school too. i had low self esteem and i cried for hours at night. A few friends too. When i entered high school i decided to make more friends be outgoing. That took all my pain away. Try listening to music at night it may help you sleep
love from RI

If a cause of you hating your life is "an itchy scrotum", maybe you should play with yourself more.
