Answer 1

First of all suicide it NOT the answer. God intervened for you. Thankfully. You have a lot to live for. Just b/c you are a pastor's kid, that will put more pressure on you. We are all God's children and need his help. Being christian means we know that we are human and make mistakes and we believe God will help us thru it all. It doesn't mean that we feel "above" others. You are a good person. Please don't do this to yourself. Kids are cruel. Overlook them please.You don't have to always be tough honey. It's ok to not be tough. You have a lot of pressure from being who you are. Talk to someone you trust. Anyone. Even me if you feel that you can. Don't do anything like kill yourself. That is so final and God doesn't want you to do that. He has great plans for you. Next time you feel that depressed, call someone or write someone on here. I'll be there for you if you need me. So please promise me that you won't do anything like that and you'll be fine honey. I know it.

Answer 2

I've been in your shoes, to the point of going into the ER feet first. I'm much older now and see things from a greater perspective. I assume that you are a teenager. Remember, life is not what is happening here and now, but what will be happening over the next 70+ years. No, you don't feel that you will be alive in a year, let alone a decade from now, but you will be. It has only been a few years since your brain "began" developing the ability of conceptual thought, or the ability to understand why something is. It is the same for your peers. They are putting up a front to appear that they are more than what they really are, or can be, at this point in their lives. They have to wait for it, just like you. Eventually, and hopefully, they will outgrow it. If they don't, they will be known for what they are, not what they think they are.

Sit down and create a pie chart. Divide it into 78 pieces. Color in the first 18 of them in red, than the rest in yellow. That little area in red is your life now. See how small it is compared to the yellow area? That yellow area is the time when you will be able to do whatever you want. God gave you the free will of choice. Don't throw away that free will so early in the game. Persevere, and in the end, the game shall be yours.

Answer 3

Well, don't kill urself!!!! Never think of suicide as an answer! That is horrible! They aren't true friends if they are willing to laugh at you. Just because you are christian and you are a pastor's son, doesn't mean that a boy can't have a little Saturday night fun. Where does everyone in your town go out? Mine go to the movies. So go there, dressed appropriatly,( jeans, t-shirt, flip flops, etc.), try to socialize like you are a new kid in town and ready to have fun....... Just try not to recite as much OK?

Answer 4

once i was standing at the window of my hostel room there i saw a small baby sparrow who was so weak &small that it could not even fly i tried 2 pick it up in my hands , it started shouting and hit my hand , even today i have that scar on my hand. bash, if a small bird struggles so hard 2 save it's life that it even fought with a person so stronger and bigger than do u really think ur life a waste. being a christian can stop u from getting success in life. handicaps faces more problems then u but they don't commit sucide. don't give a so much importance 2 ur friends who don't care about u. the dogs keep on barking but the elephant moves on . show ur talents 2 ur classmates. god is at ur side so he doesn't let u go away.
though i am just a small girl but still can say that u are valuable for millions

u are special 4 ur parents and 4 ur new friend that's me.

Answer 5

I understand it is hard for young people to be christian in this day and age. But did you stop to think that God sent that somebody to your home last night so you would not kill yourself. As hard as it is you need to rely on God more to helpyou througj the tough times. He will always be there for you and does not want you to kill yourself, I was always teased at school because I was heavy. I had a very long list of names that I was called and I know that without God I would not have been able to cope and be a mom of 9 now. Things do get better and you have to believe that. Have you tried talking to dad and see what advice he offers. Do not sell mom and dad short I am sure that they want you around as well. Alot of kids in school are very cruel pray for them see what happens.

Answer 6

Heres what you need to do..First read what you wrote, you say your a chritian, right. Isnt killing yourself a sin! Then you say you cant find any friends becuse of the christain thing and because you recite, i assume that means bible passages or something of the sort.
How about trying this...Keep your religious beliefs to yourself, pushing that stuff on people who dont want to here about that makes them not want to be around you. If your dads a pastor, you would thing your church has a youth group, maybe you can make friends there.
You need to stop making excuses for why you cant find people around you, they are out there, your not looking in the right place.

Answer 7

Firstly you need to confide in a responsible adult immediatley about these feelings you are having. Talking like you are about 'trying to do yourself in' is a bad sign of depression and should not be ignored (you need counselling now).


When you are feeling better get out there and get involved in a sporting group.
I have 3 teenagers that all play club sport and they're happy
most of the time. These kids that are teasing you are losers,
get out on the sports oval at lunch and kick a ball around, you'll
soon hook up with some decent kids and you'll feel a whole lot
better about everything.
If sport is not your thing there are heaps of other groups and
clubs depending on your age group.

Remember you are special and there is no one like you on earth
and there never will be two of you, you are unique.

Answer 8

I know what it is like to be lonely in school as I was in the same bind. I found other christians to socialize with. The fact is that there are people out there who ridicule you because of your beliefs. Talk to your parents about it, surprisingly, they can have good ideas. Tell them how you really feel. Perhaps go to a counselor. But be stronger than them and in your faith. Think about it like this, they are the stupid ones for not being your friend, for laughing at you, because the will never know what a great guy you are.

Answer 9

You tried to be tough but can't? Well then obviously, you weren't trying at all or just didn't put your heart into it. People call you names and discriminate you because it makes them feel better. They must have problems too and just need to let the frustration out. You're a christian, right? God won't abandon you just like that, but remember, you need to make an effort and not to think about what other people say.

Answer 10

Well you know that the fact you never killed yourself is cause God's still got a purpose for your life. But I know how you feel I'm known at school as the "Jesus Freak" and so forth, and some people think I'm so wierd because of my faith in God. But I've asked God and asked Him to just help me through each day (i've thought about suicide way too many times) and I've manqaged to survive. I now love shiny for Him but still I hate the feeling of being the only going to youth group instead of a party or just always being different. But I'll pray for you that God will also help you throgh this time.
