Well I’m 16 and i’ve made a lot of stupid mistakes academically speaking. And just in general. I decided to do online schooling one year in 8th grade because school was so stressful to me at the time. I failed the grade. This made me feel so bad about myself but I went back to school for a solid two years. Managed to pass both grades. Then now, this year, I just didn’t ever go. I had already made up my mind to just commit suicide. I concluded I would never amount to anything but thought, “Hey, I’ll give myself a little vacation first if I’m going to spend the rest of my eternity in hell”. This said ‘vacation’ has not felt like one. I’m just left to see what a failure I am. I’ve had all these confusing feelings and I think of my regrets everyday. If I would have stayed in school I could have been successful. No one wants to see me successful I have no support. But I realize now (wish I would have them) that only I determine my future. I should have strived to prove them wrong. To make something of myself. But I’m stupid. I also needed this time to get a few things done first. Like #1 getting my dog put to sleep. My “parents” express their hatred of me to my face. So as apart of their despise towards me they want to “get rid” of my dog. He has his problems. He has a fearful nature. But he’s a great dog and I love him so much. I have enough money to do the deed of getting him put to sleep now but I’m definitely going to wait until the last minute to do so. I’ll hold him and preferably I will follow him within the next 24 hours… I understand it’s 100% my fault. Only me to blame. But now I understand that I don’t have any other choice if I even WANTED to change my mind now since I screwed myself over. Every action has a consequence.

Hey hey, i’m 16. I dropped out of highschool when I was 14. My mom treated me like complete shit for a while. My family still gives me shit. Even though I had a actual reason why I had to leave, they didn’t care. I’m suicidal as well, hence why i’m here. You have a lot ahead of you sweetie, suicide will limit every chance of anything ever getting better.
You are still very young and while I am certainly not suggesting that your problems are not serious, I would urge you not to throw in the towel on life just yet. I can certainly relate to your family issues, but they do not have to define what happens to you in the future.
One line that stood out to me in your post is this: “I should have strived to prove them wrong.” That is absolutely true and you can do so. If this means leaving home, then that is certainly a better option than ending your life. Even if you don’t have anywhere to go at the moment, there are ways you can make it work, whether it be with government assistance or another way.
I’m very sorry to hear about your dog as well. My condolences for his condition. Best wishes.

Have you ever heard of Courtney Parker’s Her Last Words or Nicole Brit’s When She Cries, those both helped me a lot when I was like on the brink of actually attempting. They helped me realised that it would kill my mom if I actually went and did it. You should give them a listen. Music helps me a lot
