I just need advice on my life in general? I keep thinking about suicide?
Hey guys :) Sorry about the long read, I know how annoying they are...
So first, I'd like to say that I'm 14, about to go into high school. I have a boyfriend, and he's so sweet. My problem with him is that he's really...I don't know how to describe it..."mushy" I guess, might be a good description. Not physically, but emotionally. A couple of days ago, he sent me this text asking how much I loved him. We do say "I love you", but it's just something to say, you know? We haven't even kissed yet, and we've been together since January. I told him I felt like we were going a bit fast, and he said he understood, but I felt like I hurt his feelings a little bit. Also, he's a bit protective--another guy patted me on the head and he got "all pissy". Don't tell me to break up with him, by the way.
That brings me to Kaleb. He sits next to me in one of my classes, which my boyfriend is also in. He's the one that patted me on the head. He's really friendly and funny, but he's got a ton of problems. For one thing, he does drugs, pot, to be specific. He's really close to getting expelled because he brought a bong to school and he cusses constantly. And a couple months ago, his best friend killed herself. I didn't know her. I really like him (not romantically, just as a friend, he has a girlfriend). I don't think he really has a lot of friends.
That brings me to Aaron. He flirts with a ton of girls and I've known him since I was like 3. I liked him for a long time last year, and I think I might still like him a little bit. I was at a party today (mostly adults) and we went to explore the house we were in. We went around by ourselves. He grabbed my hand and he pulled me into another room. He also gets really close to me a lot. Nothing has ever happened, though. I'm pretty sure he knows I have a boyfriend.
Finally, the situation at home. My dad is the one that worries me the most. He talks to himself a lot. I do that too, but he does it in public with other people are around. He and my mom hit the rocks a couple years ago, and he even moved out of the house. While that was going on, I was on Google on my dad's computer, and it popped up that my dad had searched "how to save a marriage from an affair". I can't imagine my mom ever cheating, so I think it's possible that my dad cheated on her. I think they're having trouble again, because they won't sleep in the same room anymore. My dad keeps taking out his anger on me, not physically, but he'll yell at me when I've done practically nothing wrong. I also have to take almost complete care of my twin 5-year-old brothers. I'm like the only one who disciplines them or even deals with them. I usually cry at least twice a week, and my grades are dropping. I'm in the advanced learning program.
I only have three things left in my life now that I honestly enjoy: my friends/boyfriend, my mom (most of the time), and horseback riding (I have a horse, and he's my saving grace. I love him so much.). I've thought a lot about suicide, not as something I'd ever honestly do, but I just think about it a lot. I've written in my diary the note I would leave if I ever committed suicide.
Thank you so much for your advice, it helps a lot, no matter what you write, whether it's a joke that makes me laugh or some serious advice :) Again, so sorry about the long read.
I told you, I'm not actually going to kill myself! I'm not just fishing for attention here, I swear! I just think about the idea of suicide, the psychology of it, etc., etc. It just interests me, why someone would ever go that far. I know my life isn't that seriously screwed up that that's the only option.

Your name is Leila? That's a pretty name , my friend has that name . I'm fourteen to and I think your boyfriend understands that you don't want to take it fast it's just that he's afraid to lose you. I cried for you please don't think about suicide. You have a lot to live for you seem like a cool person.kaleb seems like a good friend and so does Aaron but I thing you should keep your space between him for right now because he could be falling for you but it seems like you already have a boyfriend you love Your parents just need time to work things out and you have to know that whatever they decide you have to support them. Your parents are probably thinking about how to solve things that they have so much to think about that they can't think straight for you and your brothers. Your dad only yells at you because he has no one to talk to so when he hold his emotion in he gets angry so he puts it on you. If you every need to clear your mind just ride your horse. Let your horse be your happy getaway clear your mind when you ride. I hope things work out for you. Do you have twitter? Tweet me so we can message eachother my twitter is @mayamohamud, feel free to talk to me whenever your feeling down or just need someone to talk to good luck with everything :)

You know, I think you are doing generally fine in life. Keep going with the boyfriend until you want to break up with him. And keep it slow. No problem.
There's nothing you can do about your parents. That's their problem, and what you do won't be able to fix or hurt that. You can let them know that you know they are having problems, and you can ask your dad not to take his problems out on you.
As for your brothers, it's good that you take care of them. It's not so great that you feel you have to discipline them. Talk to your parents about that. You can also ask them to define your job as "brother caregiver" more clearly. Are they leaving you time to finish your homework?
If you feel you must be caregiver, look up information about how to do it properly. Some ways are more effective than others. If you play with them for a half an hour after you come home, you may have more time to work on your schoolwork.
We all have to learn how to deal with the hand we are given -- some of us earlier than others.
