Is suicide my only option?

Question

My gandfather is 50. For the past five months he has repeatedly abused me. I have told my grandmother but she has done nothing about it. Now it's stepping up to sexual harrasment. I am a 16 year old guy, and I've been in a little trouble before, nothing major, but the police aren't going to believe me. I just want it to stop... should I kill myself? Would that be the easy way out?

I can't tell my parents because my dad's in jail and my mom does drugs

Answer 1

From your grandmother's questions I understood that your grandfather is now in jail for abusing you. Your grandmother loves you. For you to kill yourself would be a very selfish act. I think you are a nice guy because I remember from your "myspace" that you are. You like Christian music so if you are a Christian you should not even be contemplating suicide. I feel bad for you to have had such a horrible home-life but lots of kids have survived it and gone on to better things. Don't give up hope for a better future; I know you can succeed in life if you want to. Set your goals and work to achieve them and prove to everyone that you are better than they may give you credit for. Why don't you try talking to a counsellor or trusted teacher at school....it might make you feel better if you can talk to some other adult about this. But overall PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON LIFE!! People care about you even if you don't realise it.

Answer 2

Hold on there! OK, so you have been in some trouble, that is not a reason the police would not believe you - I think you should go to your school counselor or call child protective services ( the number can be found by calling the operator or you can look it up in the phone book under the city or state government pages )and tell them the hole story. Dude, suicide is not a good choice. You can also call your doctor or even go to the fire department for help - they will call the same people but at least a lot of people will know your situation - that means that they will have to check it out - ( since you think no one will believe you.) I am sorry to say what you are dealing with is not as uncommon as it should be - so many people will listen to you. also just so you know, Police and any other public servant is there to assist you ,that's why they are called a public servant - It makes no difference if you were in some trouble or a lot of trouble, any one in need they took an oath to serve. It is the law. What is going on now has nothing to do with what you did. call them or go to them. please. tell them what you have said here and I mean all of it. Let us know that you are OK and please don't feel like suicide is an answer for anything. Good luck. and take care.

Get help right away. Suicide is not an option!

Even if you can not think of any other place to live, someone will be able to help you. Go to a counselor. Go to the school, that's the first place to start. They have to help you, it is the law.

Also, try to find a good church. They can't help you legally, but they will help you sort out all the bad stuff that you have been through. People in church are always helping other church members. You can find a lot of people there for emotional support. They will help you to stay out of trouble too, and to figure out how to live your life without resorting to drugs or going to jail (I say that because of your parents) you may think "oh I'll never do that" but people can do desperate things when they have no money. If you get good instruction now (I mean moral as well as practical) you can avoid going down that path.

I am sorry for your situation and pray you find the help you need.

Answer 4

Suicide is not an option. It doesn't solve anything that is going on with you, and once you are gone, you are gone. Please do not kill yourself. Just because your grandfather has a problem, don't make it your problem. You can turn to an adult at school and they will help you. You can go to a friends parents and tell them. Find someone that you trust and tell them. If the police won't take you seriously, then call a hotline that is there to help you. Here are the links to some: 1-800-656-HOPE (AWARE); 800-656-4673 (Sexual Assault Hotline); 1-800-422-4453 (Reporting Child Sexual Abuse). These are only a few. Please call one or all of them. You can get help!

My brothers sexually abused me as a child. I never told my mother and father because I was scared. I was in an abusive relationship for 19 years and it ended in terrible abuse. I have been in therapy since I got out of that relationship (that ended violently) and I've dealt with the abuse that I dealt with as a child. I have also told my mother and she still is in denial over it. I'm glad that I never chose suicide as an option because I would have missed out on the happiness that I share with my husband today. Don't give up!

In addition, pray and God will comfort you.

Answer 5

No, no, no. Killing yourself is not a solution. You have done nothing wrong and you don't deserve to be punished. Even if you have been in a little trouble in the past, I really think you should try going to the police. Or is there maybe a child welfare agency in your city/town. Where do you live? Maybe one of us here can find a number for you to call. Another possibility would be to talk to a teacher or guidance counselor who you can trust. Do you have any other relatives who could help you? I'm so sorry you're in such a bad situation. Please give the name of the city where you live and one of us will find a number where you can find some help. Hang in there.

Answer 6

You say your 16---so you must be enrolled in school? Go to the counselor and tell him\her. They are required to report any and all abuse. If your not is school go to a friends parent or a stranger on the street. Just keep talking and someone WILL hear you!Pick up the phone and just dial a number and just say that you've just been raped and you need help.
Don't do something like kill yourself. What will that solve? yes it will keep you from being hurt anymore, but it don't help the next person he does those awful things to. He needs to be stopped now! you still have a lifetime to enjoy life and you deserve it more then you know. Please just tell someone, anyone, and keep telling people till you are heard! If anything call CPS yourself.

Answer 7

Call the police or your local social services office. If you don't want to do that and are still in school, then you can talk to the nurse or your guidance counselor. By law, they have to report any abuse to the authorities. Killing yourself is not the answer. Tell an authority figure (not your grandmother). It doesn't matter what kind of trouble you have been in... that has no effect on this situation.

Answer 8

dont let him touch u, and dont kill yourself because other people out there love u.If u cant stop him then tell a cousoler or trusted friend or family (mabe a cousin older tan u or about the same age as u.)call a socal worker if nothing else workes and get a counsolers help because u will b scared 4 life but u might b able 2 get a little bit of help

P.S. u r not alone in this, i know how u feel

Answer 9

Trust me...your life is worth so much!!! Seriously, u dont even know how much. I went through some hard times myself, and I lived and learned. You'll get through it, WITHOUT committing suicide. Plus, so many people will miss you if you take your life. Watch Its a Wonderful Life if you've never seen it before...it may seem like an exaggeration but your life really does mean that much!

Also, going to a counselor at school or at a professional clinic may sound drastic, but it helps. Its hard to just forget emotional pain. They will provide a safe haven for you to work through the emotions and come out on the other side.

Answer 10

suicide is a permanant solution to a temporary problem,shouldnt ever be an option!!!!!!try getting some help from your scholl counseler if that doesnt help then i would certainly go to the police.the long and short answer is there wont be an easy way out,at 16 you are coming into your manhood so maybe it is time for you to step up and handle it like one.take the responsibility for yourself.get a job and start supporting yourself,but dont drop school.it wont be easy but in the long run you will be a better person for it.
