Dealing with family disappointment

I have been dealing with a lot of issues and I don’t know what to do. My family doesn’t care about me, and my sister is always being a jerk to me. I’m such a disapointment to everyone and I hate it. I have been having thoughts on suicide, but I know that that is not the way to deal with all of this. Please give me some answers to help me deal with this. And don’t tell me that I should talk to them or anything because they don’t care to listen. Just give me some advice to help me.

Answer #1

Well, admittedly I would first tell you to try to communicate your feelings and needs to your parents. Communication is important and the key.

However, I’d suggest you pick out an Advisor or two and use them as sounding boards to give you a chance to vent and rant and get a little feed back.

Also, I don’t think you are a disappointment to everyone but are simply demonstrating a lack of positive self-esteem. You might try getting involved with some community service organizations where you would be helping others and where volunteers are always needed and appreciated. That really helps improve one’s self-esteem.

I am including the information below in case you continue to get depressed.

  If you are having problems or are depressed, below are a couple of sites that may help you:

Worldwide:

Check out the Befrienders link below. They are not only a suicide hotline but also offer help to people who are stressed or are in a state of depression.

In the U.S.A., you also have access to:

Girls and Boys Town National Hotline

Answer #2

AWWW when I was 15 I felt the same way. I tried communicating and it didn’t work they just don’t understand. I started thinking on how I shouldn’t worry what other people think of me and start worrying what I though about myself. (it wasn’t very high) but some how I saw a light and found peace with my inner concious and realized the only people I have to please is ME MYSELF AND I

Answer #3

Madonna once said ‘life is what you want it to be’, you feel your family don’t care,worring wont solve a thing,just adjust if you have some lapses,and let your heart be open and free towards everyone,and give them time…they will see your value someday

Answer #4

you should go to your one of your best friends if you have any and talk to him or her about your problem and then after you should tell your family and tell them just like you told your friends.

Answer #5

Instead of sitting there and saying why am I always fcking up, try and ask yourself, how am I always fcking up… what are you doing that is sooo bad? How can you be a disappointment… my adopted parents call me a disappointment to this very day… I’m working on a second associate’s degree, have a brand new car, money, why are they disappointed? I don’t know… I’m no expert, but could the issue not be you?… Maybe their all just not content with their lives and figure why should you be… It’s sad and a rarety, but maybe that could be it… if that could be the case then I’d say just bite your tongue, simpithize with whatever they want to complain about and go about your life and don’t let what people say get to you so badly… life is life and will only ever be what YOU and you alone make it..

hope it helped, later
