Most people think to themselves, I suck, Everybody hates me, I'm nothing when they're suicidal. But not me I don't think of myself altogether I think of others and the world as a whole. Because recently I had a falling out with my family over some extremely racist ****. I am white and I used to date a black guy now dating a mexican and Now I can really see how my family feels about african americans, latinos etc. The first time I heard my father say the n word I couldn't believe it. I got in a huge argument with my parents and brothers and basically left do not live there anymore. I do visit but after everything that happened I realized there was nothing I could do to change them and how they feel. I get suicidal over that stuff. Nobody actually cares about how I feel. And where are the people in the world that feel as I do? Why out of all the people in the world does MY family have to be like this?

EB, it sounds like you are learning, like many of us do as we grow up, that some of the attitudes people have about some things are terrible. Like racism. But trust me, you're not alone when you say it makes you feel awful. It makes a lot of us feel the same way, feeling suicidal about it is the wrong response. The world needs people like you to fight against it! So don't silence that very important voice of yours. I know it's really hard hear negative comments from your parents, and you're right, you may not ever change how they feel. But EB, realize that a part of becoming your own person is having different opinions than your parents. You were not born to become a clone. You were born to be your own person, and yes, there are people you care about how you feel. I care about how you feel, and I don't even know you. There is always someone, if you look hard enough, that cares about you and is interesting in what you think.

First of all I'm very proud of you for being so genuine and open minded about interracial dating.That is a curse that you won't have to live with in your consciousness. Answering your question all of this guys propositions are correct but at the same time , speaking from my experience, I've been suicidal for many years to the point that I'm not afraid of death anymore. The only reason the time is not right. I have to take care of somethings first. Even though I wake up every morning depressed and disappointed. I do my best to be use full to someone. (Specially my kids) They are my first priority. Life has been a big trial for me, full of hurts and disappointments. Non of them can be corrected or unfortunately forgotten. Some say is bad luck, others say that is some chemical imbalance in the brain. Maybe is a little bit of both. When life has no joy, no meaning , no point that is when someone stops listening to reason. As long you're capable of loving and accept love. Enjoy life love , and search for those things that remembers you what it means to be alive and in love.
There are worst thing in life that the disapproval of your family. Deal with it in the most mature way possible. People kill themselves over money , love , betrayal, loneliness and anger toward the world around them. And here I'm wishing I could exchange my set of trials with their petty mishaps. no one can tell you who can or cannot love. Think about it!!!!!!!!

Life's a *****... I know...
People think that suicide is selfish... but if they knew how bad this feels... they wouldn't know what else to do either...

They lack faith in spirituality. When they lack spirituality, they feel their live is hopeless and not worth living.
