Hi,. I am sixteen and i am tired of trying to be somebody i haven´t been for a long time.
I am good student at school, i get good grades mostly, don´t blame teachers mostly when i get a bad grade. My classmates think that because of that i have nothing to be worried about but that isn´t true. I want to kill myself and i have wanted to do it for a long time. I have told some of my classmates about it but some of them tell me that there are people who are in worse condisions then i am and when the tell me that i just want to scream at them because they don´t know anything about me. When i was younger i thought that i have a loving family but i don´t. My father is a drunk, my mom doesn´t understand how much a want to die, i feel like my sister hates me, my oldest brother doesn´t talked to me much and when i ask money from him i have to explain why i need it and i hate explaining it, my older brother (am the youngest) is heading on the same road that my father is on, he is starting to become a drunk himself and it hurts me a lot because i have always felt like me and he are in the same spot, we both are suicidal in different forms. A i have the perfect life, yeah right. A made a decion at the start of this year, that i am going to kill myself on the day i get seventeen, but i hoped that fate would come and help me not to do it. I decided to apply for one of best schools i my country because i thought that when i get in to it i could forget my past, forget all the namecalling and the hurt i went to in my old school, I even decided to go and see a shrink who could help me dig myself out of this black hole i am in now. I am a smart girl but i am suicidal. A week ago I learned that I didn´t get in and i feel so empty because of it. I am to afraid to go and see a shrink because i am scared of what she might say to me. I feel like my dreams have been broken and i have no power to dream again. I feel like i have no way out anymore and it is driving me crazy. I don´t even know if i want to live or die anymore. I have nothing to fight for anymore. People around me don´t understand what i am going throw, some of my classmates make fun of me even when they know that all the say i take as the truth and every time the call me names i want to kill myself even more. Why don´t they see what they are putting me throw.

Hi there,
I’m also 16. I’ve witnessed many of my friends experiencing similar things to what you have described, and because of this, I understand how hard it is to think clear and strong.
It is one thing saving another’s life whilst they’re in the act of committing suicide, but it is an even more satisfying thing to help someone before they get to that stage.
You’ve probably heard this a lot already, but honestly, you need to find someone to talk to deeply and let out everything which you’ve concealed within yourself.
If you wish to discuss anything, feel free to contact me at: lindsaybgilbert@msn.com
Nobody has told me that, because this is the first time that i am letting somebody know what i am really feeling. I have finally realised that i can´t go throw it alone, I need somebody to talk to.
Alright great that you came here, to chat and get positive feedback from some interesting people ( I dont include myself there as “interesting” though). Well, I am pretty sure that despite all the anger, disapointment that you have or that there are stupid morons in your class, and all the bloody hell that you can describe to me, in your own writing it was more than clear your big desire of making your own future, by getting good grades, going to college etc. Of course that is what you are going to do. By all means! That is, yes you are very annoyed by your surroundings and brother or whatever, but shit! luckily, you have your own life that you are building and that is what counts. If they get drunk, well pity, but as long as you yourself don’t, we are still on the right path.
I would say that all of us knows what it is to be pissed off, so please, in our case don’t think that we don’t understand how you feel when we encourage you to carry on the right path, as you are doing.
Even though you are not native English speaker, your English is phaenomenal, it is great, and you are only 16. I cant believe it.
Let me take a guess:
1) Because you have such a high level of English being so young, I would say you are from Eastern Europe. The highest academic level in the world.
2) Because you sometimes omit the article “a”, you are from a Slavic language, it could be Polish, Russian, Baltics, etc. (where they dont use articles)
well, back to the importan thing.
If I correctly understand, you say that you applied for a school and they did not take you. And therefore, all your dreams and motives are gone.
To this:
1) The strategy in life is a combination of knowing where you want to go, and absolutely never rely on just a plan A and nothing but that, particularly when that plan A depends on other peoples actions or decisions. Jobs are being given by pointing with the finger to someone they know, or someone they got a blowjob from. Scholarships are given by finger, or to someone who gave them a blowjob, etc etc. That is the way it works. I have seen extraordinary CVs, (mine included) being thrown to the bin, just because they did not give a shit, they felt i would overwhelm them with knowledge, etc. My friend has a very high IQ, I have seen her doing mental calculations that is scary. She scored 99% of the questions correct in less the time needed and she was not taken to the post in a Bank, financial institution, but other more mediocre people did get it. She was told that her abilities outscored the requirements of the post. Fuck! the reason was that the boss was going to feel stupid in her presence. Well, that goes for everybody at different times in life.
Therefore, plan B, C and D must come into action. And when you move into the next step, do again plan B, and C. You ALWAYS must function with the WHAT IF possibility present in your mind IN ANTICIPATION. Do not just leave everything on shaking the cubicles and see if you can get 4 x 4.
Always re-elaborate strategies.
2) As per visiting the shrink. If you want to chat with him/her, chat but you dont need a psychotherapist. And also I would not like that you start depending on what he or she says.
hugs,

Yes youre right that i am from the Baltics, Estonia. And thank you for saying that I make my own life, I really needed to hear it. My problem is that I always depend on what others around me say about me. Youre right about that i will maybe go to collage somewhere but sometimes I feel like i am doing it for nothing and I am worthless because I different from them all. And people around are just plain stupid morons like you said.
Niisiis, kui te nõustute minuga. Siis on nii parem (if you agree with me, then we are both right)
So, now that we are clear on that, the agreement is that there is no point to spend time on thinking about what others say, or do. Are they going to buy the house for you? are they going to get the job for you? etc etc. So you have to ignore that, and not be affected in the least. All the time you must focus on what you want to get.
Of course, there will be someone nice. You stay open to that, but no hurry.
Plans can be elaborated for you in multiple ways, including Erasmus in different countries, etc. I can do so many combinations that your problem would be the opposite to what you have now, you would not know which one to choose.

Youre right again. I am not from East- Estonia but from South East – Estonia, i studie russian in school, but I don´t really understand it.
don’t pay attention to anyone in ur class. They’re all dumb. just ignore them. you shouldn’t feel worthless because you have a future in your life, you get really good grades and that’s good. It’s ok to sometimes feel like you want to kill yourself, but it’s not ok to actually do it. You may be a upset/frustrated right now because of all the things going on in your life. But killing yourself is not the option. You have a whole life ahead of you and things might get better in the future. Pretty soon you’re going to move out and start your own life. Just be happy that you’re taking the right path in life by studying and getting good grades. i would like you to visit some of these sites to help you deal with your situation.
