Everyone I know has been telling me things like "go away", "leave me alone", etc. I haven't done anything but been depressed and I just needed someone to talk to that would understand me and not say anything like "okay, i'm here, now what the f*ck do you want?" instead of "what's wrong?" I'm seriously considering suicide since no one wants to be friends with me and talk to me. Should I go through with it? PLEASE DONT TELL ME TO GET PROFESSIONAL HELP, TALK TO A COUNSELOR, TEACHER, ETC.

when I was a teenager I went through similar feelings and treatment, I was raised in another country and when I came here to the states, I was way less sophisicated than american kids. So I was not cool and I was different. Teenagers usually run in groups that have members with similar qualities and this can last up through adulthood. If those people do not want you around than you should be around people who do want you around, dont try and force yourself on people who don't want you. YOu said not to tell you to seek advice from professionals, parents and teachers, that is like saying Im locked out of my house, but do not under any circumstances give me a key. I know what you are going through because I have been there, depression makes you feel like you are going to be sucked down into a black hole and only wanting comfort from people who do not care about you is only going to make it worse. Even though young people and adults don't always see things eye to eye. You should find an adult that you trust and talk to them, we where all young once ourselves and we have invaluable advice that is based on experience, that can help you get back on track. Depression is not something that you can will away witha good talk, it is a serious medical condition like any other medical condition, you wouldnt try to will away an infection, you would go to the doctor and get it treated. Sweetie, Dying is for always and for ever, there is no coming back, you would miss out on alot of beautiful things, life hurts, but it also has some amazing things too. Don't give up before you get to find out what those things are, other countries, love, having babies, spending time with good friends, connecting with other people. Doing all those things are so special because of what you are going through right now, it is only after rejection that we can truly appreciate acceptance. I have been where you are and I chose life. I think you should too, it is way worth it. Good luck and you can e-mail me and we can talk anytime you want to.
Take care and stick around, there is so much you havent seen yet.

No you shouldn't go through with it.
And there's also nothing wrong with someone suggesting you seek someone to talk to. If you suffer from depressive episodes in regular cycles, your friends and family may not be prepared, or capable, of providing the kind of support you need. They don't have the energy capacity, because sometimes they have other things going on, or they lack complete understanding about your condition. A professional is better equipped to support you because of the tools they bring to the table, the skills they are equipped with, and the ability they have to not internalize what you are feeling.
That's a big part of why it's hard for family and friends to deal. They internalize. They take it in. They want to help, but they can't. And they get frustrated. Especially when you repeat the cycle - they don't understand that it's not something you can just turn off on a whim.

First I would advise that you slow down a second. Everything is not so serious as you make it. You've only run into a bump in life and don't want that bump to overcome your future life.
People will listen to your problems for a while but eventually they get tired of someone who is always down, so you have to learn to take care of yourself.
Your life is important and nothing to play with. Regardless of what you have written at the end. since you have said you are "seriously considering suicide", you need to talk to a professional ASAP. If you had a toothache you would go to the dentist. If you had a broken arm or other life threatening illness you would run to the doctor. Nothing wrong with seeing a professional or other therapist. Not hing at all...

Please don't go through with it. Im in the same boat as you and i feel the same way and I have been reading some books and the stories I came across were terrible and It made me cry. Any who your life is worth a lot and it would hurt me to know that you would do that to your self. You are a special person and you just don't know that but trust me if you want a friend go tom my im page and we can talk. I really don't want you to do that please take my last option.

Do not kill yourself. I myself have no friends. i have been betrayed but you know what? i decided to be better than them. i basically threw myself into my education and made a personal goal to be the person who is their boss! Right now it may seem totally pointless for life to go on but it WILL. Try and find something you like (NOT DRUGS) and just be totally committed to it. This will take your mind off of the stupid people in this world for awhile.
Also you may be trying to hang out with the wrong people. Try and find people who care about the things you like. Find people who you can related with.
Even though those people were complete and total jerks you need to know that not everyone is like that.
