I’m an 18 year old male adult. I had a great child hood, was well off, had loving parents and family.Fast forward to today and our lucrative family business was destroyed by my uncle by over spending and not paying taxes. So we have like no money now and we have to sell our house. Now that I graduated High School I went to community college which dropped out of because I couldn’t do it. It’s not that I’m stupid it’s just that I’m not disciplined enough to study and read. Like I made an A+ in an English essay, but it fucking took forever for me to write and cant really see my self pulling that shit for 6 years to get a doctorate let alone a bachelors. I don’t want to take adderall because it not natural for the brain to always have dopamine coursing through its blood vessels. So I looked at all the jobs I could get without a college degree and they all demand way too much for the salaries that suck, they are also things that are just so mundane and boring. I understand a job is a job and is not meant to be fun, but for me it’s not worth it to have a shit job just to have a house, car, and family just to be “normal” and conform to a materialistic society in which no one really cares about you unless you have money or free things to offer to them. I honestly don’t see how people can have a passion for the same job for 30 years and work as a mindless component for a company that’s only interest it to really squeeze the most it can out of you while paying you a shit salary. It’s honestly not worth it to me. I have passions for things, but once it’s involved in a job it’s really not the same anymore. I like gardening, but I’m not going to work at homepdot for 8 dollars an hour selling flowers to stupid people. I love building computers, but I’m not going to work at an assembly line for dell at 10 dollars an hour in a factory lit by florescent bulbs all my life. I love my family, but I really don’t want a family of my own, trust me I really don’t. I’m attracted to girls and not boys, but my friend of 8 years started doing things with me a couple of months ago. He’s kissed me on the lips a couple of times saying he’s just “joking”. He smiles when I play with his hair. He’s asked me to cuddle with him and I do. One time we cuddled in his bed and we fell asleep holding each other and woke up the next morning still holding each other. I do these things because it just feels so natural only with him. It’s an out of world experience.  I guess it’s cause we’ve been best friends for 8 years and we trust each other so much. I’d honestly prefer him over any of the other girls I’ve dated in the past. But recently I asked if he had any sort of feelings for me and he thought I was accusing him of being gay and got offend and said I was confused and he just flat out stopped talking to me. I don’t know why he took it that way, losing him hurt so much. He was really my only true friend. It really hurt alot. It’s been like two months since we stopped talking. Nothing really matters to me anymore. I don’t want to live life. Iv’e had these thought of suicide for about a year. Mainly from the thought of having to work jobs to live 70 years of an unhappy life I still have to live that I really don’t want. Losing my best friend made it even worse and trust me I’m not going to find anyone else like him. It took me 8 years to build what I had with him, most of it while we were kids. Something I can’t do anymore cause I’m an adult. I’m a nihilist and have no value for life and recognize our existence is not significant  and we really have no purpose. It angers me that people think that we were put here for a reason. People are just stupid. People try to protect the earth by doing stupid things like recycling or driving electric cars, but if we really cared about the earth we would eradicate ourselves and let the earth rebuild on it’s own. I just don’t want to live on a planet anymore that has no purpose filled with materialistic idiots. I don’t want to have to work for a company to be part of a materialistic society. I don’t see what purpose people find in life. Either they are complete idiots to think they have a significant purpose or I’m just fucked up in the head. I think if even won the lottery I’d still want to kill my self.  The only difference is that I would use my money to corrupt a doctor into giving me Demerol and administering me a lethal dose so I can just die peacefully. I really just don’t want to wake up anymore. I’ve been feeling like this for a year. I think I might just end it in a couple of years if I feel the same.

You are so right about people being stupid. You friend might be gay but not ready to accept it. Have you tried just asking him why he kissed/cuddled with you? And I know how it feels to lose a long time friend, but definitely not a good single reason to end your life. It’s good that you are taking your time to make a decision on your life. Spend these next few years finding yourself. Go backpacking in the mountains, take a road trip across the country, work a job a home depot(just to past time and because you enjoy gardening). I went on a backpacking trip in the mountains a few months ago an learned a lot, like how resilient I can be. Sadly I have taken years to make a decision and done most of these things and have decided it is right for me. But you need to take your time and make the decision for yourself without outside influence. Suicide is a permanent thing that does and does not solve problems. Ask yourself, do I want to go to sleep forever?
Going to sleep forever sounds so great right about now. I personally am looking at drowning. If I attach my own body weight to my body, it seems pretty doable. Also, it’s probably the only suicide method that gives you the chance of having one last good struggle before you die. I mean, your body instinctively tries to surface for air, so you fight to survive, but the counterweights pull you down, and it’s impossible to resurface. You cant just change your mind and quit, because even if you realize, “oh I don’t want to die” you have no choice at that point. That sounds awesome. After living a life full of failure, letting everyone I cared for down, and choosing the wrong way to live for 18 yrs, I think it’s finally time I preserve some of my dignity and take whatever pride I have left with me to the grave.
Need time to get the handcuffs and counterweights though.
Anyways, that’s all about me. @ OP, you’re definitely not too young to die. However, I think you still have other options. Death should be a last resort.
