I often thought about committing suicide when I was your age but I got help. Tell a guidance counselor or friend you trust. You need to get your feelings out it's not good to keep them in
This is your life. 80 yrs probably. And about 20, at the beginning, are spent under the thumb of parents. Parents can be good, or bad. School can be good, or bad. You can be born in finland or the sudan. You can be raised by quakers or by isis. You can be shot for stealing a loaf of bread, or fed macdonalds every day.
Anything can happen in your rearing and you can't choose a bar of it. You can be at a good school or a bad school. You can have parents who understand you, or parents who don't.
But what you do have to do is survive it. Because after you escape your upbringing you have 60 yrs to have fun.
That's right. You spend the first 20 yrs hating it. but you spend the rest of your life learning how to play the game, and liking it more, and more, and more. And you realise that what you learned in your hateful childhood has actually been REALLY USEFUL in your adult life, and saved you a lot of hassle. You realise you laugh at things that traumatise other people. You're way ahead!
So don't despair. Just grit your teeth, clench your fists, and say 'fuck'em'all, I'm gonna win this in the end.' And go talk to the school counsellor. And let yourself fall apart in counselling; because coming unglued is actually part of offloading. I can always tell people who get regular counselling now, because they're relaxed, and cheerful, and they feel okay about themselves. Way less strung out than other people.
Available 24 hours everyday. Please hold off you have a lot of life in you, I don't want you to miss it! Feel free to contact me bud! I have been through a lot of hell, maybe I can help lead you out of it! Ted
1) You have a future
2) You have the potential to be unique
3) If you do, you won't have what YOU want
4) We like you :)
5) Don't give up your one chance at life
6) You probably don't want to be known as a quitter
7) There's always a way out (non-harmful)
8) You don't know what will happen after you do it
9) Don't you think it would hurt?
10) I could give you 2,000 reasons why not to
Your parents won't always be there for you, I know for a fact mine weren't. Make your mark in life......be the better person.
But there's not a point in giving these, because it's YOUR choice.
Hope you feel better ((hugs))
•Also nice to meet you Jaiden
