It is not logical to live up to others demands. It is also not logical to commit suicide because your aspirations were different then theirs. Please don't do this. You have a whole life in ahead of you. Your definition of success is just different from theirs. That is hardly no reason to do away with yourself.

Attempting suicide is a personal decision. You are the only person that can make any decision for yourself - and especially this one. From what I've seen, anyone who wishes you'd hurt yourself, either superficially or fatally, has only their own interests in mind, and anyone who voices this wish (for another to hurt him or herself) has huge issues of their own and ill-intentions.
I think about suicide myself. The thoughts range from once or twice a day to perfectly constant suicidal thoughts from wake to sleep. So, I know the feelings that can possibly happen when life doesn't measure up to expectations. And that is why I can't say 'don't do it' - that and the whole responsibility thing. But that, too, is my issue, not yours.
So, to summarize that last paragraph, I'm not answering you're question.
But I do have something to say. There are other options. Some work for some people and some don't. Some may take time and others will take more time. Medications. Talk therapy. Research into psychology. Or just plain research into yourself - self-exploration. Is what you aspire to what you really want, or is it something that you aspire to because of someone or something else?
I won't say I have all the answers, because I don't. However, I have 'recovered' some. Also, in another Y!A entry, I went into more detail about options for treatment and such. I don't know if you're interested, but the link is below. Hope it all helps.

First of all suicide is an escape issue to deal with pain, this is my sense of it all.
Your unhappy with how you see yourself and how you think your parents see you, this may be it, you think?
I would focus on what is important to you, do what you think is important, find issues that You find interesting and pursue them without trying to please anyone else; if that means moving a distance from a parent(s), then do so.
If your feelimng so down and depressed that you have little or no interest, then talk with someone who will listen and seek proffesional help, yes, a shrink. I recommend a counselor-psychologist as opposed to a psychiatrist. It's really ok to think such thoughts as almost everyone has, yet, they will seldom admit it as In our culture it is viewed as weakness; you can simply start gettingt better by Wanting to get better; pick up the phone and call suicide prevention; they will not Judge you as many of the counselors on the suicide hot line(s) have been there them selves...
Achieving anything, riches-money, the cars, the girls....yada./...means NOTHING. What you do with your life, the simple things like helping someone else, helping with a donation, helping molested kids as a mentor....is what life is about.....your needed and maybe can't see that right now as your focused on your pain and not the pain of others' one thing for sure, there are many who are worse off than you, me or anyone we know and they should be looked at as the example of life; you cannot look at the wealthy who act wwealthy and above it all...look at the other side of the coin

I'm a bit angry, but this was written in love.
To hell with anyones expectations "even your own"
Did you form yourself and know for what purpose you are here ?
Did those who put expectations on you ?
Then go ahead and play God, take your life and then see what power you have "resurrect yourself". Ask those "in the know" the ones you value so much their opinion of you, to bring you back from death. Where is their power over you now ?
You are here for a purpose or you simply wouldn't be here.
Fear no ones opinion but God's.
He put you here for a reason, you are a unique child of His, He created you to give you and expected end, for his good purpose.
Don't pretend to know what it is, only that it is for the good of others, depend on Him and He will show you, He loves you and is watching your reactions and choices in your trials.

Suicide is never the answer. There comes a time when you have to leave the past behind and now is your time. Live your life from now on for you.
Just make yourself happy and quit trying to please others . This is your life.

Absolutely not. It is not the answer. Not only would you hurt the people that you leave behind, but also your family would get no insurance money (because they do not pay out for suicides) and you would leave them with even a bigger burdon. You're not famous or rich....SO WHAT...most of us aren't!!!
