Hi, I am a typical high schooler. Im apart of my schools band. I love it at times. In the seventh grade I was bullied to the point of suicidal thoughts. I was put in the hospital. My parents say I only did it for attention. I ddnt. I was really sad and saw no reason tl live. Back in may, I was hospitalized for attempted suicide. I had got in a lot of trouble for something I didnt do. I felt like my parentd hated me. They even asked around for boarding school. They want me to be perfect. Im a teen, I make mistakes. They dont understand that though. I am currently doing very bad in school. All of my close friends are turning on me and my parents want nothing to do with me. I dont know what to do. I feel so alone and lost. I feel so sad all the time. Last year a boy took advantage of me. Becase I go to one of the best schools in my area my parents wont move me schools. I have to face that boy everyday and relive my nightmare. I cry every night. Im on the edge and my legs are dangling. Anyone out there wanna help?

Think twice before jumping. Have you talked to your parents or school counsler about your abuse? If not you need to so action can be taken. Tell your parents you are being forced to relive the horror each day you attend school and if they want to help you, you need to change school or do homeschooling. If your stuck with the same school, get into counseling to deal with the pain and suffering. If your counsler feels its safer for you to change school then they can convince your parents.
Anyone, Ria’s advice sounds excellent. I’ll only add that you have my empathy — I am much older than you are now, but I remember the pain of being bullied and verbally abused in school, and how profoundly serious a thing in can be. I am so sorry your parents are not understanding through. That must be terrible for you, and your are brave to be reaching out here for support. You are not alone, so many have been wounded in similar ways.
I can say that I never thought, when I was in the midst of that early suffering, that I would come as far as I have, and while I still have dark feelings (for many reasons) that bullying is left far and far behind.
It will be for you too, and you *will* find the people who are your own, if you can just stay through this pain and reach the other side, where your world can open out and change, and you will have a chance to meet wiser, worthier friends and loves.
Please stay with us. Know that out there, out here, many have suffered and, if they knew, would send you their support and love.
