I am new here, both the website and the desire to end it. I am a seventeen year old male in the 12th grade. I have read many of the stories and thought it best if my story is out there somewhere, for when I am gone(even if no one I know reads it).
I have had a great life, that makes the feelings I have more confusing, both to me and the doctors. I move a lot and have little amounts of friends, but I am ok with that. I am very smart, especially in mathematics.
My life started its bitter collapse in May of this year. Up until then the only worrying factor in my life was my sexuality. I wasn’t attracted to male or female. I felt alone. All my friends talked about girls or guys and I just didn’t care. In May I felt a great change and fell in love with a girl named Molly. She is the most beautiful person I met. She is funny and smart. She is extremely talented. I was told by a friend that she also had a crush on me. I built up the courage and asked her on a date. She said yes. Pure joy and elation engulfed me in that moment. We spent the next three days together, inseperable. Best three days of my life. We went on a date it was also amazing. Just being around her washed all pain and worries away. She composed herself in a mature, but cute manner. She had flaws, but I also found those cute, the way she would sometimes rant about things and she had the cutest laugh ever. We saw each other every week in the summer then everyday before school. We had another date planned, but on August 16th my life ended.
She was my world. But she didn’t want me to be anything more than a friend. That reminded me of how many friends have forgotten me after I move away. I do not want to be forgotten by her. I found that the only way to cope was self harm. I cut every day for a month on my arms. My parents noticed and freaked out. They sent me to the doctors and I was put on medicine. It didn’t help. I went to therapy. It didn’t help. I talked to Molly again when she discovered I self harmed. She confided in me and told me she did too. My feelings for her intensified, yet hers remained the same. I tried to kill myself, but Molly talked me out of it. Knowing that she would blame herself for my choice prevented me. I came close again and was put into a mental hospital for a few days. I hated it. On the third day there, my parents brought me news: according to Molly’s mother, Molly had feelings for me, just her mom didn’t want her pairing off with any boys yet. I got better and was released from the hospital.
I saw Molly every day for a week. We went to a dance together and once again she told me all she wanted to be was friends. It killed me. I do not know why she brought it up. I was not pushing her to do anything. We were just talking.
Since then I have been avoiding her. It hurts to be away from her, but it hurts more to be near her because if her emotional distance. Every night since then I have been trying to kill build up the courage again. My cutting has been getting worse. My torso an thighs are pretty much just big scars.
I just want to thank anyone reading this for enduring my story. I hopefully wont be around by tomorrow. I know my story is not nearly as bad as others I have seen, but I am too tired of the pain of not having Molly.
Molly, I love you and I cant make it without you. I am sorry, but the pain is too much. I am giving up

Hi there 🙂
I hope you’re around to read this comment.
I’m not gonna sit here and tell you about the joys of life or all that “it gets better” bullshit, but don’t kill yourself over a girl..it’s not worth it!
my advice to you is to wait..for a week, a month, or maybe a year..you don’t have to rush it, it’s not like anyone’s forcing you to commit suicide.
I understand that your heart is broken and it’s the worst kind of pain, but wait a little longer, life can change in an instant..hold on and see how things turn out..make sure you don’t miss out on the great things life could bring.
Life can fuck you over in so many ways and it sucks but it can also bring you up and change your view on everything, but you’re never gonna be able to find out unless you stick around…
peace!
I thank you for the consideration. I still am around so either I succeeded or failed. I have felt this way for 2 months now. I don’t really have hope that life will change much. Molly was not just a girl to me. I have not been attracted to anyone else, before or since her. I will do my best to hold off I guess. You are right there is no rush. Just more pain.
I will give it another week. Maybe I’ll reconsider, but, until then, I’m gonna go cut.
Hi there,
I’m new here too and I’ve seen the date is old. I really hope you are reading this. BecomingBirds response is so right and spot on.
But I am going to give you a life gets better version because I know how you feel, I do but its true, life does get better. My heart was broken utterly and completely. I cant even put into words how I felt then ,I thought about doing something at the time and in the end I never did anything but the state that I was in was so obvious to everyone that they all believed when I had a serious car accident that I had done it on purpose. I kept going, I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t easy and there are times even now years later I feel it but the beauty of life is that it changes and I had to find joy in other things. The world is huge and one of the first times I felt I belonged was in Thailand where I couldn’t even communicate with them!! Now, years later, I finally fell in love again. I never believed I would or could or that I could love any one as much. Its a different love and it took forever to come but it is equal in its depth and you don’t know it yet but from that comes another love and your children will bring you a happiness that will be greater than any love you will find. Life will always have its lows but it also has its highs, you gotta stick around to find out- its an adventure xxx
