    I would tell her stop PEEING on your self and it's not like she is going to live with her parents till she is 40 years old. Get your school/college over with then you can make friends. Your friend are they going to pay your bills in the future hell no get a job or a degree an focus on your freedom. When she goes to college her family will vanish an I bet she will cry saying i miss them.

    Life sucks when your under some one's control but it will be over in a flash and she will be saying I miss those honorably people.

    01. Because she feels she is invisible (no one listens to her), perhaps having her family physician refer her to a psychologist would be very helpful.

    02. It sounds like she has a lot of ideas & hopes for the future, but just needs to bounce those ideas off others.

    03. Joining groups, who are interested in similar goals as her own, would give her a fun outlet to meet others & do productive things together.

    04. Sometimes what you are looking for is not in your own backyard. That is why we have the word 'adventure' in our vocabulary. Sometimes we must adventure out to seek happiness.

    05. For those who say 'How can I meet someone when reading is my hobby?' Well, do it in public places & guarantee someone will quickly start speaking with you. Books are magnets - they attract a lot of talkers in public places.

    Good Luck & Warm Wishes.

    First of all, you have to tell somebody. It is not a joke. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, her life is at a bad point. It will get better.
