  Welcome to Fun Advice!

  You are at an age where hormones, emotions and even your brain are undergoing strong changes. It is natural to occasionally feel confused or depressed.

The best thing you can do is to talk to a counselor or therapist. Barring that, find someone you can communicate your emotions and thoughts with, sort of like a sounding board. Keeping your thoughts to yourself doesn’t help. If you can’t find someone around you then consider Fun Mailing someone on Fun Advice.

well you might want to try seeing a school counsoler, or go to a local doctor, and always try to think positive.

make a journal of all positive things about yourself, and your life. make yourself presentable, and work hard to be clean cut, and nice looking. if you feel good about yourself, suicide wouldn’t come to mind.

if you are scared to do it, it’s probably a sign that you shouldn’t, because whether you think so or not, you will be hurting a lot of people.

you might also try talking to your family, and boyfriend about how it makes you feel, and the problem’s you’re faceing. if they love you, they will try to work past their differences.

hope I could help, and please don’t do anything like that.

I was the same way. I would lock myself in my room, put a belt around my neck and started crying. I just thought of my family and friends and how sad everyone would be when I be gone. also the type of example im setting for my younger members. what got me out of this stage is going out with friends, keeping myself busy and kepted saying everything would get better next week. and it did

hoped I helped.

I highly suggest you check out The Pact by Jodi Picoult. This book is great for all ages, but teenagers can learn some great lessons, especially if you’re having suicidal thoughts. It makes you take a long hard look at what you’re doing to everyone around you.

Softballchick is totally right! And if you get in a tizzy, you can always talk with a friend about your problems. Or talk with your boyfriend or parents about why they don’t like each other. But suicide is never the answer, because all you did was kill yourself when you could have made things better!
