I think you should tell your parents, or at least one of them. Start with a conversation. Say "Mom, can I talk to you?" and just start telling her how you feel and what is wrong. She will be glad you did and she can get you help. I know how hard it is when you are 14 b/c I was there with the same problem. Now I look back and realize, I should have just told them. Teenage years are hard enough, don't make it harder. Get the help you deserve so maybe you can actually enjoy being a teen. We are here for you, IM me if you need to. I've walked in similar shoes for years so I might be able to offer some advice.\n\nI agree, school councilors are terrible! We only want you to reconsider telling your parents b/c they really are the easiest, quickest, and most reliable choice availible to you. Be glad you have them, later on you gotta fix it yourself, lol!

dude, been there, done that. if you're on here talkin bout it, you aren't gonna do it. i tried, and failed, twice. once with asprin and paracetamol, the other time with ecstacy and ketamine. both times i was found and had my stomach pumped before it worked. i always wonder why i tried it, wether it was work, family, friends, drugs or some other factor that made me want to kill myself. sometimes i wish they had just let me die, other times i am glad they didnt.only you can make the choice kid, are things really as bad as they seem? are u doing drugs? do you need this girl to live? or is it just teenage angst against the world, like everybody goes through? think about it.

I can relate to what you're going through. When I was 14, I attempted suicide. I was put into psychiatric wards, and sent away from home. I understand depression. But I can tell you, that it is the worst mistake I ever tried to make. I didn't realize that until it was almost too late. So if you want to kill yourself, it depends on what you're taking. If it's a strong medicine, take the entire bottle. If not take two whole bottles, wait an hour and say goodnight.\n        I don't know what your situation is, but I strongly suggest not ending your life. Things may seem bad now, but they will get better. Trust me. If you need someone to talk to or vent to, here's my email address.... vigilantris@yahoo.com\n        Email me anytime day or night. I'll  be here, I promise.

Mike tell your parents.They love you and they will probably handle it better than you think they will. No matter our age there are times in our life when we need help and you are asking for it right now.Your family Doctor can refer you to someone.Just go to your parents now and tell them you need to talk.

go to your parents or your school counselors and ask for guidance. please don't feel suicidal. suicide is a PERMANENT solution to a SHORT-TERM problem ~ and all problems are temporary! the police can be notified because this is , in fact, a hate crime. good luck

I agree with Angelina. You need to speak to a counselor or therapist as soon as possible. If your parents won't take you or cannot afford it, at least find a teen support group.

Hello Vinod, I hope I am not misreading your question, but I wonder if you are asking this because you are considering ending your life. I was suicidal when I was a teenager, but the peace I have found through a relationship with Jesus Christ has given me not only hope but a reason to live. Please check out the links below for a little bit about my life and for toll-free numbers you can call if you are in the United States and can talk to people who would like to help you. If I can help in any way, please feel free to e-mail me at chad@jesusfreak.com. Have a good day.

Hello again, it is good to see you are willing to speak in here. \n\nI know what you mean when you say your parents are not taking your serious! \n\nYour parents are saying things that are not useful and it's not because they don't love or care about you, it’s because they are not sure what to say to make you feel better straight away. \nParents can't help saying things like; "don't worry about that", or "you shouldn't be taking that so seriously", or "everyone will like you" "just be yourself and say hello" or "it's just a faze your going through" and "everything will be alright".\n\nParents find it hard to believe they don't understand their children; they hope they did a good job raising you to be a confident person. They are thinking back to when you were little and you made friends easily. They might even say “whatever happened to (little Susie)”; someone who you were friends with in grade 4 and haven't seen in 6 years. That's just the sort of things parents do when they get desperate, feel frightened, or run out of ideas.\n\nYOU NEED TO TALK TO YOUR MOTHER OR FATHER SEPARATELY AND ALONE.\n\nYOU NEED TO SAY “I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I FEEL THIS WAY BUT I DO” AND “TELLING YOU NOT THE WORRY ABOUT IT ISN'T HELPING YOU FEEL ANY BETTER” AND IF ANYTHING IT IS MAKING YOU FEEL MORE INADEQUATE. OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU NEED TO SAY.\n\nIF YOU’RE PARENTS ARE STILL UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND OR GIVE GOOD ADVICE; PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR; IF HE DOESN'T HELP DON'T BE SCARED TO TELL YOU DOCTOR TO WRITE A REFERRAL TO A PHYCOLOGIST OR PSYCHIATRIST.\n\nUNTREATED ANXIETY CAN BECOME A PROBLEM AS PHOBIA’S CAN BE LEARNT AND DEPRESSION WILL FOLLOW.

Sweetie, you need to talk to someone who can help you.  Tell your parents, school counselor, doctor, teacher, or any other adult you trust what's going on.  You don't have to tell them that you're cutting if you don't want to, just that you're depressed.  I know it might seem like there's nothing anyone can do, but it's not true.  There are medications that can help with the depression, and talk therapy can help as well.  A psychologist can help you learn healthier ways to deal with things instead of cutting, and help you figure out what's going on around food.  They can also help you figure out what's at the root of your problems, so you can start to work on fixing whatever is really wrong instead of hurting yourself.\n\nI used to cut myself too (and I'm using the past tense very losely here), so I do understand what it's like.  If you want to talk, you're welcome to email me at emilyrose1986@yahoo.com.

You need to go see your family dr. Or you can call around to find a free clinic in your area. If you go to a free clinic then your family wont find out. But to tell you the truth, you should talk to someone in your family. Your mom or sister, someone, or a friend. Someone you trust. Its not your fault for feeling this way, and no one should be mad at you, or not understand.  Also look for a mental health place in or near your town. They might be able to head you in the right way to getting what you need, without your parents. Depending on your age, your parents may need to know.

I am not sure how old or young you are but if you are old enough, you can say no to being hospitalized or have a parent/guardian say no if you aren't old enough. I know that our daughter over  4 years ago had problems when she was in 4th grade, and because at that time she was being extremely violent, and was then to go on to be diagnosed with bipolar, but she stayed one night in the emergency area. We then refused her to be hospitalized, and I stayed home with her and was with her 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the medication kicked in and she was feeling better. She also went to a psychologist and still goes now and then, as it helps her to not only talk with us but to talk to a therapist. You have say over your own care, especially if you are at that moment of legal age, and of sound mind,etc. Good luck, just don't worry about it all, go and get the help you need! Just make sure you find yourself a good psychiatrist, referrals from friends, family members or call to your local hospital and they'll usually give you 3 names of psychiatrists. Take care of YOU!!!! You may also need a tranquilizer of some kind, and if you are continuing to have suicidal thoughts, sometimes having that major tranquilizer can calm you down until the antidepressants kick in. Please get help ASAP!!!

You should first tell her parents. Then get her help by telling your parents or a doctor. This is a serious problem. And I know what you are going through. My friend almost died because she tried to kill her self.

Yes you have symptoms of being depressed.  My son is exactly like you.  He is 14 years old and is ADHD.  He takes Conserta as well.  He also takes Wellbutrim for his depression.  He was always so very negative and unhappy.  Now with his Conserta and his antidepressant, he is much happier.  I think it helps him to bring more things into perspective for him.  He is also getting older and learning more how to control his temper, moods, etc...he is coping much better.  There is a future for you.  You gotta want it.  The world is not against you sweets...make your decision to make something of your life, use your meds to help you get there. Talk to your doctor and ask about an antidepressant.  Tell him or her how you are feeling, etc...this medicine is a great addition to my son's ADHD meds Conserta.  Be sure to talk to your parents and go see your doctor.  You can do this!  You have a future and I am gonna root for ya!  Take care kiddo!

Usually, when pediatric psychologists (the people who talk to you and give you non-medical treatments) and pediatric psychiatrists (the people who can prescribe medicine for you) diagnose depression, they ask you questions about how you're feeling, how long you've been feeling this way, how intense is it, if you feel like hurting yourself or other people and other questions and follow a sort of checklist of symptoms that depressed people have. They follow a guide outlined in a handbook called the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders) that is published by the American Psychiatric Association. If you've been feeling really sad and also have physical symptoms like tiredness, achiness, too much or too little eating and/or sleeping, definitely go see a doctor and make sure he checks to see if there is nothing wrong with your body. If that's ok, ask him to refer you to a pediatric psychologist or a pediatric psychiatrist who can treat you for depression. There could be something wrong with, for example, any number of hormones or you could have some other physical thing wrong with you. Depression and illnesses that have symptoms that are similar to those in depression are fairly common amongst teenagers.  Remember your body and mind are connected and your behavior and your "state of mind" are strongly interconnected. Do the things that make you happy and change your behaviors so that you'll feel better about yourself. It's no accident that we kind of walk around all tired and slumped when we're sad and walk with our chin up and a little hop in our step when we're happy.  Walking with your chin up will help. Give yourself a treat or do something you like that makes you feel good and relaxed when you perform actions that are good for you like completing and doing well in school tasks and homeworks or exams.  For example, if you go to school for a week, without skipping and complete all your homeworks, at the end of the week treat yourself.  Do that for a few weeks, then extend it to two straight weeks, then three and so on.  Give yourself a little snack for every two - three genuine hours that you study for an exam. Tell yourself that you WILL ace the exam and when you do, give yourself a real treat like a manicure or something else that oyu like.  Also, get into activities like sports or a gym that help work up a sweat, and pick up hobbies that help relax you like musical instruments or yoga or reading. If you need to work with a professional, also get the cognitive (the thinking part) and behavioral (the doing or acting part) therapy and help. There's tons of information out there on depression, and medical sites like WebMD, the American Psychiatric Association (psych.org) the American Psychological Association (apa.org) and government websites (like the NIH or NIMH sites) are good sources. Make sure you keep yourself well informed as everyone has an opinion about these things and there are people out there that will tell you things like depression doesn't exist or you should just snap out of it and grow up, or things like that that only make things worse.  The only ones that count are you doctor's, your parents' or a trusted adults' and your own. I hope you feel better :-)

hun listen im right hear with you. like right now im doing the same thing and feeling the same way. but i think im a little a head of you. see im 15, i got cought doing it. and well snow ball from there. alot of people will tell you just to stop and stop feeling like you need to. but hun guess what its a mental problem. we got it and its there. go talk to your counsolor. have a friend go with you, i did. then they will have you make an app. with your family doctor and you will get checked out. weighted and talked to by him or her. from what the doctor thinks some different things can happen, you will go to rehad (most likely not if you get help now) you will get a theropys that what i got. or they will put you on meds. also what i got. you need to be willing to be honest trust me thats hard i know. but i have already lost trust of many for lieing about. but believe me it will get worse if not fixed soon.

Medicines and therapy go hand-in-hand.  You have to really want to get better, Amber.  The therapists give you the tools so that you don't dwell on things until you want to die.  Then you have to put them into action yourself.  Then you said you tried to kill yourself once, then you said you never have thoughts of hurting yourself?  A LOT of people are addicted to misery.  It's true.  If you've felt this way for years, in a strange way it's comforting to just stay in the negative.  Only you can stop that.
