how to hold on for 1 1/2 months in this condition? I really can't take no more. i've been in this condition for 3 1/2 months and am tired. really. no changes, no miracles from God, and so what do you think , is waiting for 1 1/2 months is a long time? I'm 14 btw. thx. at least give me a reason why I should be here where NO ONE here (my fam don't live with me, I'm studying abroad) cares whether I'm here or not, and how to deal with this suicidal thinking everyday, am I mental?

Gosh, to be 14 again...and know that I had my whole life ahead of me, darling...You are so young, and if you are truly a believer, then you must show the Lord you have faith, and give Him time...He will answer your prayers...just be sure to ask in Jesus 's name, or He won't hear you...you are not mental..just you feel let down and abandonded...You should be here for yourself..and it is a sin to commit suicide.....life is going to get better,..you only need to look around at other people, believe me, there are many people eating out of trashcans even at your age, not being sent to school abroad...maybe you are interpreting their sending you off as lack of love, but maybe they see it as really wanting to spend the money to better your life...sometimes, at your age...you don't understand the logic, I know...Listen..Don't let the Lord down, and don't let Satan win on this one...the Lord will answer you, I promise, but don't test Him...He loves you, and don't let Satan tell you other..Study, get good grades, and look around at all the other people in this world that are not as fortunate as you...and if you have been abused, please, tell an adult the truth and get some help for yourself...forgive those that have hurt you, and leave it in God's hands....little love, please,...hold your faith, and stay strong, He will come through for you, I promise..I know...

If you mean you're depressed, yes, 1 1/2 months is a long time. Why not talk to a professional counselor? Studying and living abroad can be a really difficult experience, and culture shock can easily make us depressed. I've been living abroad for almost ten years. I've seen a lot of people come over since then, and they almost all go through this. Being homesick is not a crime. Being culture-shocked is not a crime. Especially if language is a problem, of COURSE you're going to be depressed.
My advice:
1) Talk to a counselor.
2) Write, call, e-mail or IM home and family regularly. If your family can't or won't write (I hear from my brothers about every six months), then write to any friends you have back home.
3) Make friends with other foreigners in your area.
4) Make local non-foreign friends. Having local friends can really help, believe me.
5) Get on the internet and do a search for "(name of country) forum" or "(name of country) message board" and see if there's a message board for foreigners in your country.
6) If you're with a host family, don't stay in your room. Stay in the common room and associate with your family. Go out with them when they go shopping. Take in interest, help out, and try to be a part of their lives. If you're in a dorm, follow the crowd.
If this doesn't help, and you're still having suicidal thoughts, go back home. You know, at 14, everything can be really hard. Don't give up though. Life can be really great if you know how to see it. Life is like a blackboard with a line down the middle. The good stuff's all on one half. The bad is all on the other half. Sometimes we get so busy looking at the bad that we forget that there's the whole other side of things. Don't be afraid to look at that other side.
Good luck.

Yes! Of course it is long when you are unwell.
Time never seems to pass when you are waiting even when you feel OK.
When I was your age I have been put in the boarding-school where my mother was teaching the small classes.
It was a nightmare as it was a punishment because I was rebellious. Of course later, she couldn't understand why she did such a thing.
What I wonder is why you are studying abroad alone.
Can you not tell your parents or family the way your are feeling?
I know you are a girl and I wonder too why you have no friend.
Except that I felt the same way at your age.
Probably you have not the same interest in life, so may be you like the nature... I talk to you about a dog elsewhere.
Why did I not talk about the school?
Simply because I forgot!
I did not remember why I felt that bad as I have practised to find pleasure and joy in small things in life...
And so the big things has happen to cross my way too...
I will say too, I agree with the many people who counsel you to seek help but I suppose you are a bit scare to do it.
Maybe a nice teacher could help you too.
Please think about it.
One thing is sure a lot of people in Yahoo care for you enough to write, do you realise?
I was walking my dogs and could not think of something or someone else...
I send you an angel....

You have a chemical imbalance in your brain. Make an appt to go see a psychiatrist tell her everything about how you feel they will be able to put you on the right meds. You are here for a reason if you weren't you would have been taken off this earth already.

Try to think of it as a good growing-up experience.
You can grow stronger than your spoiled peers.
For a bit of perspective: there were people your age in concentration camps. And some of them managed to hold on and survive. They didn't know if help was ever coming. You do.
