Convince me against suicide?
Well here goes my story..
I'm a fifteen year old girl who's always been an overachieving students. However, for the last year and a bit I've been dealing with severe depression and bulimia, and neither of my parents really know about this mainly because they'd rather close their eyes to it all.
Next year, due to my did finding a new job wr will be moving to a new city. This means leaving my best friend, boy friend and an unconditional offer to a very good college. Now in this new city, my father has applied me to a new college, however my offer depends on my results. Now I don't I'll have done well enough(needing eight A*), because at the time of my exams I was feeling as bad as one could.
You are probably asking why I'm considering suicide:
-I have no future.
-Noone will miss me. And those that might have, I'm leaving behind.
-I've let my parents down.
-I've let myself down.
-I'm a failure at everything I do.
-I don't see the point in life. We're all trapped in it
, and I just want a way out.
-I'm useless and worthless.
And these are just some of my reasons.
Btw, this is not a plan over just thought of now, I've been planning suicide for well over a year now.
Please don't tell me how I'll go to hell, or how it's pathetic.
It may be pathetic to you, but its obviously a big deal to someone else.
Thanks for your time.
I don't even know why I wrote this all now. :/
First off, thank you all for your answers, they're all greatly appreciated.
I've noticed that many of you have advised me to speak to my parents. My parents know I'm dealing with depression and that I see a therapist, however they'd much rather close their eyes to this and pretendI'm fine.
And again many of you are saying that I should look forward yo the future because it has many great things planned for me. I'm failing to see this. It is my birthday next week and I can't even look forward to that.

It's understandable to be upset about your situation. Starting all over with everything can be difficult and seem impossible but it's definitely possible. You're young and you have your whole life ahead of you. For you to be an overachieving student, it's evident you're capable of setting a goal and achieving it. People with your ambition will always have a future. There is nothing wrong with speaking whats on your mind. I'm sure you have heard it before " there's always a reason for everything". So you may not understand why you're having to deal with this but just keep in mind that there is a reason. Everyone in life will have regrets, experiences, made mistakes but most important is , if we can learn something from it. If you're parents aren't willing to listen to you, perhaps you should talk to a friend, someone at school or a relative. Remember one thing, you're special to someone whether you may know or not so don't be selfish and think that taking your life will solve your problems. I'm sure your parents love you dearly, and everyone around you.Something that you will have to understand in life is that you're going to hear things that you don't like and that upset you, and when you do, try and understand why those things are being said to you. Ya it's normal to get upset but learn from it and utilize it to your benefit. And if you fail, get up and try again, regardless what anyone says to you. One thing you could definitely try, is praying. Can't expect things to get better right away like we expect them to but it takes time, have to be patience, and have the desire to keep trying and not give up. So, pray about it and don't give up because I guarantee you will have a brighter day. God loves you. Keep your head up and may God bless!!

Your family will miss you and your friends will too. You can still talk to them and visit them. And you will only let yourself and your parents down if you do kill yourself. You would also let your friends down. And now that i have read this i feel as if you did kill your self it would be partly my fault because i was not able to help you. You should tell your parents that you feel like killing your self and need help. You sound really smart i think if you really tried you could make it. Your also so young. You do have a future you can be anything you want. I wish i could go over there and hug you. Please you need to tell your parents. I went through a time when i was 14 that was around two years ago. Im 16 now. Where i wanted to kill myself too. But i held on because i thought of everything i would never be able to do or see. Plus i talked to my friends about it and it helped me. Another way that stopped me was that i thought what if my child killed herself what would i think how would i feel? What if it was my friend? Please think about it some more please. I hope i could help even if just a little. <3 <3 <3

I read your second sentence and had my answer. You are 15, your emotions and hormones screw with your mind at that age. It really does get better, seriously it does.
I say this a lot on here, if you want to change something in your life then take action and make it happen. You listed some negative qualities about yourself. At 15 most of us are failures with no aim, goals, or prospects. You are in charge of your life, don't wait for something good to come along, get out there, do a bunch of stuff and find something that your mind and soul love. Maybe athletics, maybe math, maybe spending hours on yahoo answers helping people with life/homework! You can make your life better. Just remember that a lot of people feel like this and they all found a reason to contine. You will to.

Look, i hate to be that guy that tells you everythings gonna alleviate within a matter of time, but chill lol! You obviously are pressured by the fear of not knowing. There are outcomes of your life in which you cant explain yet, but time is TRULY the cure to all sorrow. Let loose and live a little. This life is filled with beautiful, sublime moments that death just cannot replace.

The fact that you went on here to get someone to stop you, just shows how badly you don't want to take your own life.
Grow up, stop feeling sorry for yourself and remember there's always someone out there in a worse place than you. If they can make it, why not you?

how do you expect your parents to KNOW you feel depressed and are throwing up unless you TELL THEM and ASK for help?
New city, new start, new opportunity's. Chance for you to pull your socks up and get better grades.

Death is the answer if you have terminal cancer. Try growing into a mature adult before you decide to kill your underdeveloped mind prematurely.
