I am very depressed would you consider me that nasty R word name? (UK)?
Hello everyone, I am 19 years old, I am 20 next month I live in Cambridgeshire which is in England. I have got a mild learning disability and I went to a special needs school. I am not in education or in employment, I have never had a paid job, I have got 18 moths of work experience though (Voluntary) I have worked at the Co-Op and at Tesco's. Please read my situation below, it is going to be long but please read and help me I'm very upset.
If you want to see all of my qualifications that I have then please look at this link http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As... I live with my dad (He is retired) I also live with my older and younger brother. Here is the situation. my brothers call me nasty names and say nasty things to me things such as, spastic, reta.d, useless, mentle, physco they say these things to me for no reason at all, I went downstaires the other week for dinner and my older brother just called me a reta.d for no reason. The other week me and my older brother were arguing and I told him to p off then he charged up the stairs into my room and said if you say that again spast.c then I will knock you down. Another situation is today, I was in the kitchen and my young brother called me a nasty name and then called me a spact.c and then hit me so I hit him back then a fight broke out. My brother had a weight in his hand and he started smacking me with it and anyway my dad came down and I mostly got the blame for it (By the way my younger brother is 17) And my dad wants us both to move out but he told me that he wants me to move out more and told me to go to my youth worker tomorrow and tell her that.
My dad knows what my brothers call and say to me as I have told him and he has even heard it but he never does anything about it- my own dad even recently called me a physco. My older brother says I'm useless and that I have had soo many job interviews and I will never get a job as I'm too stupid and don't take advice. He is a personal trainer and he hasn't got a full time job but when he gets one he will be making good money. He says that I don't do enough in looking for a job- But I do I have recently applied to be a voluntary youth/play worker and I have recently started as a volunteer at Oxfam and I have also recently started a level 2 maths qualification. My brothers have said that they wouldn't care if I died or if I got killed- they have even threatened to kill me before. They always take the mick out of my disability. Also my older brother took the mick about my girlfriend dumping me on christmas eve in 2011 he said that I'm wrong because I was going out with a 16 year old and he said no one will ever love or want me.
I can't go and live back with my mum and there are no friends that I can live with. I can't stay with any family members. I just want someone to tell me that they are proud of me and they care about me and that they love me. I tried talking to my mum about this on facebook but she didn't really want to know and I was pouring my heart out to her. Then she said that she was going to be going off.
I have seriously felt about killing myself tonight I want to kill myself I'm soo depressed, I want to move out where should I go and who can I talk to about this? I can't take much more. I have thought about taking an overdose, and I have thought about hanging myself.
The other qualificationa I am going to study for is a English GCSE in September, a ECDL level 2 that will be soon, a level 2 and level 3 NVQ's in Youth Work, a level 2 NVQ in Customer Service, level 2 and 3 Website Design, and I have just started a CompTia A+ 2009 course.
Thank you in advance for reading this thank you for your help and advice, I am very, very grateful.

hi sweetheart. i also answered renault's question and he is just a bigot with issues.
please report his remark to you. go back to his question and click on the report abuse flag on the bottom right of his question. click on the "i think this question is illegal" and then briefly explain in the box below that.
i have reported him but more than one person has to. explain that he has harrassed you and intimidated you with his response to your answer and misrepresented himself with his question.
ignore him. he just wants to upset people. that is probably why he is getting the sack.
best wishes, A x

Well my first thought is that you deserve way better than this. Your family sound mean and horrible. So you have needs, you want to be loved and you want to be cared for. Natural feelings. I have them. Everyone that I should look to for that support has gone, I'm a tad older than you. So what now? Well I have folks that look to me for the love and support that you desire.
There comes a crossing point in life, you need support and suddenly you have to give support. I find that it is just as rewarding, indeed more rewarding giving support than requesting it. You know what you are doing and you can value more what you do and say.
So come back from the edge. Look at what you can do and can enjoy. Can you help anyone, can you offer support to other folks in the same position as yourself reaching out into the world and trying job experience and other challenging things?
From your academic challenges I read you have ambition and that you have not really given up on life. Leave the nerds behind and forge your own future on your own term.

I'm sort of lost for words, the things you have said I have never had to go through. So some may say I couldn't answer this, but I want you to have my opinion. People who through remarks around to people like spastic are just bullies and are suffering with there own issues. Jobs aren't easy at all to come by at this present time so its not a big enough deal for anyone to get on your back about it like they have. I never cared at school and got no gcse but I got an apprenticeship and went college for 3 years and earn more than the average. Life is what you make it. It is disgusting what you are going through and I can't begin to imagine. Life is full of ups and downs, u are at the bottom, but you can put yourself up the top. Life is to precious to give it up for some narrow minded fools. Hang in there. Rise above it.

Firstly, well done for actually wanted to get your life sorted out, there are plenty of teenagers in england who would rather go out and get off there face on drugs. Secondly, you just need to ignore your brothers, brothers always fight, I have 4 brothers and they all pick on me, you are not a retard or whatever you get called, you have a learning disability that isn't your fault, loads of people get picked on for being different and it's wrong because at the end of the day we are all the same deep down.
There is no point in trying to kill yourself because of low life people, I had to learn that the hard way by trying to kill myself countless times. You need to try talking to your parents again, if your parents are on speaking terms then get them together and talk to them, on your own, in a quiet place where no one can int erupt, it's obvious that this is causing you a lot of problems, so you need to do something about it, have you tried going to the counsel and telling them your problems? They might be able to help you by rehousing you so you're not living with your dad and two brothers.
I hope I have helped, it's all the advise I can give. Good luck for the future.

I think you should be pretty proud of your achievements given your situation. It must be so stressful all you guys living together..
I would never call you a retards or anything nasty like that.. Bear with it I think..Things change and you never know what round the corner. Keep doing voluntary stuff if you can't get a job it looks good on your CV ad yes further qualifications will help
Take care and good luck

Every person is important. I know your family is cold and it hurts, do not let them get you down because you're none of those mean things they say. They sound like a bad family and you cant change people so just keep trying at getting a job then go your own way so you caN be happier and in a better environment. I know you can do it. Also don't ever hurt yourself over anyone because you are important in this world and you don't know what good things the future has in store for you. Good luck.
