I am in my last year of highschool and I have never been so alone and afraid in my entire life. During exams last year I went to a party and did something stupid that caused a bunch of girls to say hurtful things to me and it just pushed me over my limit. I’ve dealth with their cattiness for the past 2 years and I was done with it. I called my mom to pick me up and she couldn’t even tell I was breaking down. It wasn’t her fault because I am good at pretending I am okay. When we got home she went to bed and I made the decision to end my life. I took 4 bottles of pills and put them in my pocket and went for a walk. This is about 3 am , and I brought my phone with me and sent 6 people a loving good bye. My mother, brother, sister and father, and the boy I liked at the time. I said that they would be better off without me because of how hard it was to deal with me all the time. I knew everyone in general would be happier without me, so I took all the pills. I passed out behind a tree and at that time I had phone calls every 3 seconds from everyone trying to find me. I didn’t want to be found. I wanted them to just go back to bed and be okay. My parents ended up getting the police to track my phone and they found me at the last possible minute. I was semi-cautious and could hear my mom and dad in the hospital beside me crying and asking themselves why I would ever do this. I didn’t want them to be upset, I was trying to make everything easier for everyone. I was in the hospital for a little over a week and I literally lied to get myself out of there. It’s been less than a year since it happened but I still have to deal with people saying things about me and making fun of me which is the last thing I will ever need. I hate myself. I hate everything about myself and I will never in my life ever appreciate myself. I wish I died that night. I wish the people who make me feel like shit every day, got the feel how I felt. I haven’t gotten better at all and I can feel myself getting worse by the second.

stay strong. high school will be over soon
You are going through the worst years of your young life, high school–all the meaness, pettiness… Hang in there, and try to stay as undamaged as possible. There are people with hearts out here and I, for one, care about you.
I would say concentrate on your school work. Get the best grades you can. Education is a means to get out of a hateful situation into a better life with better people.
I wish you all the best. I wish this were a kinder, more understanding, world. But it isn’t. At least you know one person cares that you make it.

I use to fantasize about one day being on Conan and he would ask me, “So what made you so successful?” and I would tell him, “All those sheep bastards who took out all their own issues on me”. Then I would list them off, by full names, look into the camera and say, “Wouldn’t you like _______ now, *****.” The blank would be whatever I was famous for. Then as I grew up I realized I was unable to push myself any more. I used to be able to set my mind to something, and then just do it. Overcome a debilitating speech impediment after 14 years of torture- check. Stop biting my nails- check. Get straight A’s- check. Lose the weight I was teased about- check.
Where did that drive go? What happened to that person who was going to someday be worth an interview on late night tv? Life overwhelms and shuts out all possibilities. I don’t understand why I am this way anymore. Why can’t I let anyone in? I feel so guilty for marrying such an amazing man, for letting him in and seeing the darkness that has always lived inside of me. He is horrified by what I showed him, so now I can’t even tell him how deeply I feel every void. I want him to not be any more stressed out than he needs to be. I want him to survive me.
Hi, your story is heartbreaking. When I read it I felt so bad for you! Please don’t give up, someday it will get better, everything’s gonna be alright. All you gotta do is believe it!
This may not be okey for me to ask but I am doing this project in school about people who’s going through stuff like that. I want people to know how bad somebody can feel and that everybody can help those.
So if it is okey with you, can I use this story in my project? I will not say who you are, you are gona be totally anonymous.
I give you permission to use my story, I really hope it does help other people to prevent what happened to me to ever happen to them. Thank you
Thank you so much!
