Hi, Im Angeline. Im 15 years old and Im in a relationship. My boyfriend is the same age and we’ve been together about a year and almost a month now. But the reason why Im typing this is because I’ve been depressed since July of this year. Our relationship was amazing in the beginning. He would always call me afterschool and we wpuld be on the phone till we got tired. We hung around each other alot, we held hands, etc. But then around July he started to push me away. I started to feel upset because it seemed like he didnt care about me anymore neither loved me. We constantly had sex..ik im young and all but i just sorta thought/knew that i would be with him for a while so i would give it up some time..but not that early. Anyways, we constantly did it and the last time we did He basically stopped calling me and texting me, he never let me come over anymore and he started lying about going to work. Now before i go on any further, I know most of you on here have much worse situations than me but I feel like if I havent found this site i probably wouldve “offed” myself before the year ends. The past couple of months he has been telling me he has been working when i found out from hisbest friend that he wasnt. I began to think he was cheating.I felt really upset and crappy because ive never been treated like this and this is my first relationship. He always flirts with this new classmate India and i get annoyed and jealous and wanna kill her for being around him. I try to vent to people about how i feel about my relationship and they tell me to talk to him but if i do then i knew it would turn into an argument or he would pretend to care about what im saying.Ive been going through my own depression of a downhill relationship and i didnt know what to do. My father doesnt even answer the phone when i wanna tell him about my issues or talk to him at all, My mother is steuggling to pay rent and for the gas, and she’s been bumped down to part time from her job of where she worked at for more than ten years. For a couple months now dealing with depression and a struggle, I’ve been thinking of ways to kill myself. I would stare at anything and daydream of myself hopping off of the bridge near my house into the river and drowning to death, Taking my brother’s gun and shooting myself, drinking bleach, hanging myself, or cutting myself. Sometimes having someone do it for me… I feel like i have nohing to live for and as a teenager who fell in love with someone who has drifted apart majorly has broken my heart and i dont know how to deal with it. I would sit in my room alone and cry to myself thinking i shouldnt be having thoughts daily about this. Im young, I can find someone else everyone isnt the same, and that someday a mircle could come and my mom can finally pay all the money she owes for the bills and my nightmare will be over. But every single day that I live I see the more I wanna kill myself and not be here because i can no longer make myself happy. But im too indecisive if whether I wanna do it not because Im too scared to see what death is like yet I wanna get away from all this. I think about if I killed myself how broken my family would be. They care for me so much and I would hate to just leave and have them be super upset because I died. But the more i think about suicide theres pros and cons to it. Like, I wont have to worry about dealing woth depression and struggling anymore but then my family and friends AND possibly my boyfriend would be torn. When I started thinking about it again tonight i googled the way suicide. Now, to be honest I wasnt looking for help. I was looking for a list of other ways to kill myself but the National Prevention Line came up and resources for suicide came up and I clicked it to see what was there. Once I read it, I sorta stopped thinking about it. The passages were like a small therapy for me that I needed and Im glad I found it because thats how I got here. Now once I publish this I highly doubt that anyone would read this or comment on this at all. But I would just like to say if you really took the time and read all of this I appreciate you for it. Although you are going through something much more difficult and worse than me Im glad you read how I feel…This isnt all that I wanna write but this is all I feel like venting for right now.

We all go through things and we aren’t here to compare you or tell you your problems are less important to eachother. I can’t give you advice because honestly I don’t think you’d want it. But I can tell you what I see. What I see is a girl trying trying ao hard to get someone she though and thinks she loves attention and to feel wanted. But I see a boy who is hurting you and doesn’t really care for anything you did or have done. The only thing that should concern you is helping yourself for your mothers sake you said she was struggling and helping her out spending time with people who actual feel bad even when you might feel worse. Can really help you. Like I said I’m not gonna give you advice on what to do with your boyfriend because no ones advice can help you. You have to open your eyes and help yourself darling. Never seek death it won’t solve anything you will die eventually as will I and you’ve seen how bad life can be , seek the beauty.
Thank You for that. Itts just so hard for me because i just dont know how to handle all of this and I wish I could help my mom but im unemployed with no working papers and everyone in this house tries to gather up as much money as they can but we’re still behind. I just wish that life wasnt this hard for me. I just want my mom to not worry about all of this and I just want someone to love me. All my life Ive been waiting to be in a relationship because i was told that i would never find anyone because I was too fat and ugly. But then when i got to 9th grade i was already slimmed down and thats when we got together. But i just wish things went back to the way they were so i can feel better. But thank you for the comment
Good Morning Angeline
First off…I hope that is not your “real” name…although it is lovely. π
Currently I don’t have something more difficult to deal with. That probably has something to do with the fact that I am nearly as old as Methuselah. When I first came here almost 4 years ago…I was ready to attempt for the 9th time. Slow learner here eh? But I’m much better now !!! π
Reading your post was quite difficult for me…mostly because I still remember being your age. I don’t know how it is possible…but being a teen was always traumatic…but now it seems to be much worse. I could comment and offer advice…but instead I will share a story.
When my kids and nieces and nephews became teens…my younger sister would take them out for the day…and along the way share her immense wisdom. At the end of the lecture she would say…”Now remember…when you are making out with someone your age…the girl is saying…”ooh I think I am in love”…and the guy is saying…”ooh I got me some”. 15 is much too young to be involved in a serious relationship anyway. The teen years are the prelude to the transition to adulthood(in some cases) and who you are today is not who you will become…this is why teen relationships tend to be transitory…because the parties involved are in transition.
Just my opinion btw…but I would hazard a guess that your father is somehow disconnected…either physically or emotionally from your family…and that plays a huge part in your relationships whether you admit it or not. I myself didn’t get as lucky as you…and yes you are lucky to have dodged the relationship bullet. I spent years being abused as well as my children in order to have the all important relationship. I have a good relationship now…but that is after decades of growth and therapy. What they say is true….you can not love anyone until you learn to love yourself.
I am sorry that you are so depressed. Actually I am sorry that you are so angry and confused. But my advice to you would be…finish building your own life before you attach it to someone else’s life that may not be as wonderful as you are. You are placing too much emphasis on the wrong relationship. Your focus should be on the relationship with yourself first and foremost.
Keep moving forward and find your answers…don’t give in and give up…the race has just begun. There is so much waiting out there for you when you are ready.

Hi, my real name actually is Angeline lol..and I just wanted to say that your comment was really something that made me tear up because of the abuse you went through and then how you worded the entire thing. You reminded me of how my grandmother used to talk to me when I had problems..not that im calling you old or anything..its just that you gave me that advice that people really need these days and i thank you for that. Im very sorry for the abuse you went through and in glad youre doing better now π
Hey Kitten…change your screen name eh? Anyone who googles your name will come up with this eh? I’m sure you would appreciate a bit of anonymity. π
hahahaha I am old dear. I am a grandmother. But I have also been a teen once or twice as well. There was this one time in my 20’s….hehehe. I digress.
The biggest lesson I have learned….the worst kind of abuse is self-abuse. Nothing anyone ever did to me hurt as much as what I did to myself and what I believed about myself. I guess this is what I am trying to tell you. Learn to honour and take care of yourself before you give yourself to another. That is all. No need to be sorry for the likes of me btw…but nice to know you are a fellow empath. π That explains more than anything about the current difficulties you are experiencing.
I gotta run right now for a wee while….but if you are around later…perhaps we can talk some more? Either way…keep your chin up eh?
Sending you lots of Love and Light
I dont know how to change my screen name..i dont think it will let me.. But if you dont mind me asking, how old are you? You’re so polite and wise π And sure I wpuld love to talk to you later

I love this comment !! Sorry I can’t help you with the name change…but until you do…avoid discussing things you don’t want the world to know about you. There are many here who could help you…but if I had to guess…you would have to delete this post, log out…and log back in with a new account and a different user name. Also I would not use my personal email for signing up or in…but create a different account…without your name in it of course. hahaha
That is as tech savvy as this old dinosaur gets eh? hahaha
How old am I? Well that is a difficult question. Some days I am 12, other days I am 117 !!! But I assume you are looking for the chronological number? haha I am 53. Although there are some here that make me look like a spring chicken…they are few and far between. Dinosaurs all !! ha
Just another small piece of advice. Don’t disclose personal information on here that will allow someone to find you. So if you want to share your country, state etc…but not your actual location. Because I use “u’s” in words like colour and honour and neighbour…everyone knows I am a Canadian eh? hahaha
In light of what I have just explained…I am going to end this conversation…until you have taken the necessary steps to ensure your safety. Let’s be honest here. I say I am 53 and a grandmother…but am I? Unfortunately yes…about being 53 only(I adore my grands)…but you get the idea eh?
So make a new post if you wish…just let me know how to find you again. ie. put my name in the post or a comment on your post…then it will be our little secret. You can’t delete your original account…but if you delete the post, then there will be nothing to find.
Stay safe!! Catch you on the flip side?
Ive never really had a friend older than me..as of your age..but I wanna ask you if you’d like to be my penpal or something lol
You want to be my penpal or something??? Does that sort of thing still go on? When I was in primary school…they made us write to a penpal in order to earn extra credit in English. Luckily I didn’t need the extra credit…because I refused. π I’m too lazy and ADHD for that sort of nonsense. hahaha My older sister still communicates with her penpal…albeit not by snail mail any longer. To me that is unthinkable. That being said….it would be best to keep our “friendship” in this forum…but if you would like to email…be warned. I am a poor correspondent at best…but atleast I am not a hormonal young male or a pedophile eh? I also understand sometimes there are certain things you do not want to discuss in an open forum such as this.
THAT being said…I am still in email contact with several special souls from this site for almost 4 years now. It just requires a lot of patience. hahahaha I’m not altogether sure how this new format for the site works…but I would think that you should be able to see my email address on my comments. You should be the only one that can. Let me know?
