Life is full of ups and downs. Just because you've experienced many 'downs' so early on in life doesn't mean that the 'ups' aren't there. Endure. Keep going. It's going to be hard. Infact, at times it will even be harder. You're about to enter your adult life. And as an adult, you can make your life into whatever it is you want it to be. Whether you need help or not really isn't something I could say. One thing I can tell you is that it's important to be able to help yourself first and foremost. Not such a bad deal to allow others to help you too. Let me, or someone, know if you feel that you're in need of help from someone else other than those who are already in your life.

I'm really sorry you've had so many problems in your life. Why don't you believe that things can get better? There are things in life that we can't control. But there are things that you can control about your life and you are very young you have so much time to make things better for yourself. Don't give up on life yet, find out what you need to do to take care of yourself. There are so many people out there who have had a horrible child hood and have fought hard and over come the past. There are so many places where you and your mom can get help, you're going to have to do some research and get ready to work hard its not going to be easy but killing yourself is not the answer. You don't know what's in store for the future, how about when you start your own family and meet your husband have children, there's more to life you just have to give it a chance and you'll realize what a strong human being you are and maybe help others who have similar problems. There are so many possibilites, you can't give up, pray a lot and think about what you need and want and make it happen.

You are 17 and old enough to help yourself. Attempted suicide was just a cry for attention (it is not hard to kill yourself if you want to). You need to get out of the environment that you are in now. You can do so much better, get away from the drugs! I am not going to tell you that everything is going to be ok because as you know, it isn't that simple. But I will tell you that it is not the end of the world and not worth dying over. There are people who have had it worse and have made it out, you can do the same. So stop feeling sorry for yourself and get out there and do something. Get a job, make friends, get an apartment, go to school, get a better job. YOU CAN DO IT!
email me if you want to talk.

You first have to allow people to help you and this site is the wrong place to ask for help. There are far too many cruel people on this site. I would say first trying by listen to those that want to help you. I am sure that why you were in the hospital there was help offer to you so try going to a counselor for help. I know you don't want to hear this but it will get better and there are people out that will help you. Contact the crisis hot line (probably listed in the paper or phone book) or go on line and find out where they are and call them and make an appointment to see some one. You did not say where you live but you might can stay in a shelter until you find a place. Be open to help and let someone help you. Try contacting your dad, he might be willing to help you. It's just a suggestion. Sometimes people mature and change.

Please check with your local social services often they can provide the type of assistance you may need. I was 17 when I got kicked out of my house. I got a crappy landscaping job but managed to live. Not well but I worked it out. I went into the Marine Corps and that really made the difference in my life. I wouldn't recommend joining the service right now unless you are willing to fight, scary choice. I truly hope the best for you......please take care of yourself....my life was horrible as a child and I have done ok for myself. It hasn't been fun and not always the best...I am hurt by the past but my present is much brighter....you have that opportunity as well.....you only have to take it....turn you pain into a reason to succeed and find strength in it....you pain is a learning tool that you need to focus on an realize why it is there. When we feel pain it's a sure thing that it's time to change something.....and you my friend need something to count on and can be there for you so you can feel trust and need in this world.....I got that out of the service. First go see Social Services. God bless, I hope these things work out for you!!!! I myself have no family or relatives to count on.....I am still alone in this world except for having the best friends a person could ask for...they keep me going but they are great influences as well.

You're getting older now and it won't be long until you're going to have more power to change your life for the better. Before you're 18 you're very limited what you can do to change your life and make it better but after 18 you have so much more freedom and are must more able to shape your own destiny so don't give up yet. Don't look too far ahead either sometimes it's best to just try to take it a day at a time and so just worry about making it through today and tomorrow worry about making it through tomorrow and it doesn't look so bad that way.

I can feel your pain trust me. I have a little nephew that is going through the same things that you are. Please don't give up on yourself. You are 17 and probably need some time to grieve because you have been through alot for your age. Do you go to church anywhere? If not, maybe you can get in touch with a pastor close by and he can pray with you and get you some help. You have been on your own most of your life anyway so why not get a job to keep you busy and try to make it on your own now. I'm sorry that you have no family that you can count on. It has to hard on you being so alone. But you can find peace in knowing that their are alot of people that will welcome you and love you, if you will find a good church family to depend on. Good luck to you.

It's time to help yourself. Instead of spending the time looking for someone to help you. Take control of your life. You seem to already realize that you can't depend on others. Take that notion and run with it. Find an agency that can assist you financially and with housing. Get yourself on your feet and move on. Put the past behind you, hold your head up and stick you chest way out. I can't tell you that things will be okay, because they won't. Life is hard, and some of us get dealt hand that are harder to deal with than others. Use your past to make you a stronger person.

There are free organizations out there that will help you if you don't know of one go to local YMCA and they might be able to point you in the right direction or contact services like social services because you really do need help not just for yourself but your mom hopefully she will get her stuff together and I am sorry that you are going through so much please don't kill yourself you are worth more that that and once its over its over there is no coming back.

You do need help. That is too much of a load for anyone, especially someone your age. Look at all you have gone thrue..you have made it so far.. and you will continue to make it. Find someone that can help you. A relative maybe, or a clergy member- you are worth it!
