My little sister is very depressed. She constantly gets teased a lot for her height because she's 17 years old and only 4'9. She's a bit chubby for her height also. She's heard all the names and the things mean people say about her. They call her dwarf, oompa loompa, little girl, stubby, midget, you name it she's heard it before. She's also not doing well in school, there are chances she might get pulled back as a Junior because she missed so many days. Therapy didn't help, suicide hotline didn't help. Her arms are full of cutts. She's tried to overdose on drugs, she tried to drown herself, suffocate herself, and even hang herself. Luckily, people caught her as she was doing it, otherwise she wouldn't be here today. I don't know what to do. I'm dying inside to watch her be like this. Could anybody please advise me?
