Thank you for sharing how you are feeling. I am sorry that you are feeling this way. I want to reassure you that you are not alone with how you feel and it is not abnormal. Rather than spending the energy to get your parents to understand, which can be exhausting and can deplete your mood further, why not seek out someone who will understand that you can talk with who will understand. Can you share this information with a caring parent of a friend, a school counselor or even your doctor? You need to be acknowledged and supported with how you are feeling and be connected to counseling / therapy resources. Please do not hurt yourself. I am sure you have heard the quote that "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" and it is true. You can be happy and a counselor or therapist can help give you the tools and resources you need to live a full life. In the meantime you can always call the prevention-line for confidential support and I would encourage you to do this as your first step. Also look into resources in your area as well. You really do deserve to feel happy and you can.

Comparing your bad times/thoughts against someone elses is not fair to you or them. Each person has their own perception of how bad their life is at any given time.

If your feeling suicidal you need to reach out to a Suicide Hotline or go to the ER and get yourself some help. You need to make sure and help yourself and not worry about deciding whether you or your parents have things worse.
