I don't understand why?

Question

A kid in Glen Rock, NJ the next town over jumped off the roof of his school i nthe middle of the night and commited suicide, he was an honor student and everything(this was yesturday), and last week a kid in my town overdosed on heroin and died, I don't understand why, I mean I feel suicidal sometimes, but Iwould never commite, I can't do that to my family, its not fair to them(a teacher at my school who is in a wheel chair after getting a serious injury told our class how he wanted to commit once but couldn't do that to his mom because he was all she had, his seemingly meanless speach to most, has kept me form commiting), but I don't understand why these people are putting us threw this pain and why they are doing that to themselves, I just wish they were back here, and I would like to point out that both this kids, and where I live are from pretty RICH towns and in our towns these things aren't supposed to happen, because we have everything we want(material wise), people don't see

beyond the surface, I look like a normal happy kid on the outside but inside I have more problems than can be counted and nobody understands at all, I get made fun of 24/7 by either kids at school or my own brother who is supposed to protect me, somedays I want to commit, but i can't, I can't do that to my parents and I can't I refuse to be antoher statistic! Someone just I don't know, I need someone that will im me sometimes, be nice, say hey how are you, just to keep me going, to comfort me, someone please?

thank you :-)

Answer 1

I think being a teenager right now is harder than it has been for any other generation. Many parents don't have any parenting skills, and the economy is so bad that many parents don't have time for their children. I guess they figure that if you made it to the teen years, they are done.

Also there are so many conflicting messages out there, about our bodies, about having a lot of stuff, about what we should be and do.

If you add all of that to the fact that teenagers are going through physical and hormonal changes it gets very stressful. Teens not only have to deal with all of that, but they have to find a new place in the family and in society. They are no longer children to be protected, but they are not considered adults either. It can be very confusing.

Many of these changes cause teenagers to be very harsh with one another. High school can be especially cruel to teens who have not found their place or are unusual. Unique personality assets that will help you later in life can be viewed as intimidating to many in high school. That is why teens (and many adults) tend to ostracize anyone who is unique or different.

If you are having problems with suicide thoughts or depression, please get help. We don't need any more teen deaths. Good luck. Connie

Answer 2

I personally think that those who commit suicide are cowards and selfish. Not to bad talk them but a true human being can not do that to anyone. Any person can quit but only the survivors have any success and love and happiness. Also sometimes these kids (I say kids because they seem to be in high school and have not fully matured) do not have anything to an 'eternal' perspective. They do not see past the moment and can't truely visualize the near future or not future.

I congratulate you for your strength. You are truely worthy of the title Human Being. Take courage that you will become better and you will. If you ever need strength and support you can talk to me if no one else will. Good luck.

Answer 3

Well I got picked on to, but then I defended myself and I ended up being the one no-one messed with. I am a very strong person and I take no sh_t. I don't hurt people I love to see people happy in-fact I would rather hurt myself instead of someone else. I attempted suicide 3 times and it was so unexpected of me to do. I looked like a very happy outgoing normal person no-one ever would have thought of me doing it, but on the inside i was so miserable! You need to figure out what it is that is making you so unhappy on the inside and get to the bottom of it. There is no worse feeling in the world than feeling suicidal, it sucks. I have since then been in 2 car accidents and shouldn't have lived through either of them and I don't know why I did, but I am still here. There is a reason for us all to be here and I hope I am here to help others to realize life is precious and enjoy it, don't let others ruin your life and bring you down. Your life is what you make it. Just think happy thoughts and become happy, life can be good. Chin up and take care, happy thoughts, Good Luck!

Answer 4

I think you should get some couseling. I dealt with depression as a teenager and I know how hard it can be. Try finding someone you can talk to openly about what you are feeling. To keep myself going I used to tell myself God had a purpose for my life and to take my life would me I would never find out my purpose so I hung in there and I am now a 38 year old mother of 2 daughters and a 15 year breast cancer survivor. I know my purpose is to make sure they know they are love and honored.
