I have big problems; please help me.

Well, I myself have never felt as you describe, but I can still only encourage you to hang in there. I don't really have a lot of friends, I've never had, I've never wanted to have. Of course people who are more social than myself will still find a lack of friends difficult, but just so you know that friends aren't absolutely necessary to enjoy life.

Try to find something that can get you through. Music, or a good, hilarious book. I've never been suicidal myself, but if I was, I bet Douglas Adams could get me through it.

Also, I know how crappy advice this might seem, but do try to talk about your problems with someone. If you are absolutely certain your parents won't listen, then at least someone at school. Heck, even someone at the local grocery store that you trust is better than no one. They will help you, if you just let them.


If you really feel cramped inside your home, why not take a walk? I don't know where you live, but a long walk in the woods always cheers me up and I know a lot of people who says it helps when they're down. Don't be afraid to try new things, you have a pretty unorthodox problem, unorthodox solutions may be required.


And well, probably a bit stupid this, but the one time I was really down, this song actually helped me a lot.

And well...ska in general is great in getting you back up.

Congratulations dude.

Anyway, from this thread responses, seems you're not as unpopular as you might think.
Everyone goes through what you've been through, just some have it to a lesser degree. You just need to pull through. Once you're out, the grass gets a lot greener.

Well done!

A note to all Orgahs who wish to post in this thread—being disrespectful and/or challenging to a person who has publicly stated that he wants to kill himself is:

1. Bad manners
2. Thoughtless
3. Irresponsible
4. Inappropriate
5. Unbelievably stupid
6. Tacky
7. Dangerous
8. Potentially criminal

I have already handed out more warnings in one 24-hour cycle than I like to give in the average month. Think before you type, and think again before you hit "submit."

Yes, people really do hurt themselves, and yes, they do it on teh internets.

I am honored and humbled by how many Orgahs have posted thoughtful, careful responses to John-117's problems. The few who could not manage enough common sense, common decency or common courtesy to avoid baiting a potential suicide have stood out that much more starkly in contrast with their peers.

If you cannot resist the urge to post a challenge or a snark at John-117's issues, be aware that I will be handing out warning points and bans as though they were on sale. Be mindful and thoughtful, or stay out of this subject.
