i've been feeling very suicidal lately, and finally after a month of depression i've called the suicide hotline. i've even told my parents many times that i've been feeling suicidal, and they got very scared and tried to help. however, it hasn't worked. when they found out i called the suicide hotline, they got very mad and told me never to do that again, and said that the whole family will be in trouble. they said that it won't help, and i keep telling them over and over again that i want to die, but they just kept getting very scared and kept worrying, and haven't done anything about it.
what SHOULD they be doing? shouldn't they seek professional help? they seem afraid to do so.

Better to be Safe then Sorry.
You are a very sensitive person. As most of us are. Be cautious in your association to those feelings and keep your focus on your own daily routine.
Let me ask, "Is a friend or someone close to your friends moving?" "Someone having problems at work?"
An old saying goes, 'Nothing is as it seems."
Rules to REMEMBER too. That you don't interfere unless you are asked and you don't change your posture to try and pry the problems out of others.
The real person with the problem may have problems they do not think you would understand, and likely would take you into their confidence if they thought you could help. Their dire state of mind may be enhancing your own misgivings of being uninformed.
Remember! Help means support by advising or showing you will still care IF ASKED about them. If the person or persons have to reduce household charges, you should be prepared to take action to care for yourself in a emergency at all times, even though there is no emergency anyway.
The emotions can be caused by someone else trying to let someone go, or move to a new home, or anything else that seems direly unnecessary to them.
The feelings you are having are not feelings, so to speak, they are senses. You may not be that actual thinking party, and there may be a someone close to you who has a real reason to be concerned.
But they might also have real reasonable points not to share those concerns.
While you may feel the sensations and your own knowledge connects to the dots to suicidal thought, it is your deep seated emotional condition. That is you're sensing someone who is reasoning for their own welfare or the welfare of others.
If you are young you will get tougher later in life because understanding these things of our nature will become known to you.
Be cautious in your association to those feelings and keep your focus on your own daily routine. When the feelings subside you will know, that someone has overcome the obstacle of keeping their job or whatever.
Continue with your own friends as before and try to be alert to changes to others behavior around you.
You may be able to see who is actually under all that stress.
Continue your routine, avoiding any over stressed effects by keeping your eyes open, your ears open, and your mind focussed on your survival are your main needs for the time being.
Better to be Safe then Sorry.

It is often the hormone swing but most of us just have to ride it out. You can talk to the hotline , anything that helps you hang in until it subsides is good.
Parents can't really help although everyone likes to think they can . . . It mostly scares them, rather like kids that think walking on ice on a pond is fun. The parents know they can fall through but they can't control them 24 hrs a day.
Try to get on a healthy diet , (minimal junk food, sugar and caffeine) should help even things out. Get good sleep and try to minimize school stress.
You have talents to share with the world someday,
Hang in there !

Everyone has moments like these. You don't want to die. Dying is forever. There is a light at the end of your tunnel. If you are feeling that bad, talk to someone. I assure you, your family will not be in any kind of trouble if you contact the suicide hotline. They are trained to help you.

If you need help, act fast and do it yourself if need be. Don't wait for the feelings and thoughts get worse. They could lead you off the cliff. Your parents should seek professional help, but you may need to do something about it first. Find someone to pray with, and read the Bible to comfort you. You have a future that you can't give up on. The feelings will pass. I will pray for you! Look to God when all else fails!

Your parents have a responsibility to ensure your safety, and your physical and mental well-being. It is extremely important that you seek help. If your parents are not taking you seriously, then go to the hospital emergency room, and tell them that you are thinking about killing yourself. They will immediately take action to help you, even if your parents get angry. In my opinion, your parents have a misplaced concern. They are more worried about what people will think of them than they are about your state of mind. Your life is very important, and you are intelligent enough to know that you need help, and you have tried to get it. Don't give up. Go to the hospital, or call your family doctor right away.

Your parents are being ignorant. Do they feel ashamed that you have this idea in your head? Well, too bad!!! What you are thinking is serious. You can't just "forget about it." Go to counseling on your own if you can. Worry about how you feel, not how they feel. They don't have to deal with all the crap that you're enduring, so they haven't a clue!

they should get professional help for u like may be a physicist or a doctor . till Ur family no one will get into trouble and ask them what would they rather get help for u or put up with ur death. they might still believe every one will get into trouble but they should feel getting help for u is worth every one in getting into trouble if that could even happen witch it wont and can't. if ur under age then if any one found out that ur family wont help u get help for being suicdal then some one might till social services and take u away,but i don't know.
if u get help u will probable need depression meds.
