Dear Crista!
First of all, I am sorry to hear that. But, belive me you don't have to put up with them at all.
Nobody who has not previously been suicidal can fully imagine the pain you are experiencing right now. You are trying to maintain your outer life as you think it should be lived and seen, but secretly you may be trying to figure out how to end your life prematurely, whether gracefully or not. The surges of deep agony you are experiencing may often become unbearable. You may grit your teeth often, or even sometimes writhe on the floor.
Perhaps you are already seeing a therapist or a doctor, but you can't bear the thought of telling him or her about your secret feelings or plans. You may have determined to solve your problem yourself, to carry it through to its conclusion, no matter what the consequences for you, your family, and your friends. Within you there may be a bleak doubting of your worth, a blank wall where the future used to be.
You may be researching ways to end your life, hoping for the least amount of pain that will lead to an imagined release into oblivion. You may be deciding upon the perfect place, and you may be mentally composing the perfect message to leave behind. Guess what?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Thousands of people have had feelings like yours. Although some of those people are no longer with us because they succumbed to desperation, many others have found ways to cope with such previously unmanageable feelings -- and they have created useful, successful, and happier lives out of what could have ended in tragedy.
What did these people do? THEY GOT HELP. They talked to counselors or doctors or pastors or parents or trusted friends. Some received help from taking prescribed medicines that alleviate feelings of depression, anxiety, and desperation. These medicines allowed them to get a new grip.
Chances are that, awful as you may feel right now, you value your life very much, but you just don't know how to stop the pain. There's a way. By means of some combination of time, counseling, medicine, and planning, you can avoid the fate of those who, for whatever reason, didn't take that first step forward.
At this very moment you have the option to GET SOME HELP if you have access to a telephone. If you live in northern Illinois, you can call the Depression Hotline at 1-630-482-9696. If you live elsewhere in the United States, you can call the National Crisis Hotline at 1-800-784-2433 or LifeLine at 1-800-273-8255.
You don't have to say who you are over the phone. You can explain your situation and feelings to a person who understands. You can learn about new alternatives that you may not have considered before. You have nothing at all to lose. NOW IS THE BEST TIME.
Your inner pain can become less troublesome if you get help. Very likely these impulses will go away completely after a period of healing. You have much ahead of you, and right now a concerned person is ready to help you on the phone. Just call.

I've been down that road before too..I would find hobbies that keep your mind of that,like model building,drawing,or doing crafts.And as far as the person that abuses you,I would talk to someone about that,I've hated myself too..it seems like some of my family members don't appreciate what I do etheir.But you know what...I got over it by realizing,that I was a good person and was gonna make something of my life,and not care what anybody thinks.And if you can't talk to anybody about the person that abuses you..you should try to find a way to move out,and get yourself away from that environment.Like go to a friend,ask them if you can stay over for a few days,so you can earn money to get an apartment,or rent a room or something.Just remember..your not alone.Your a beautiful and unique person,and don't let anyone else tell you any different.
And every time you feel yourself falling or heading down the suicidal road...Don't,b/c you can make something of yourself,and prove all those you doubted you wrong.Like I said your a beautiful and unique person and you can make something of youself.

See a doctor as soon as possible; mention the previous suicide attempt to the receptionist, so you receive prompt treatment. If those thoughts become stronger, call an ambulance, or take a taxi or public transport to the nearest public mental health facility, or public hospital emergency room. You won't have to stay, but you should receive suitable medication and at least an appointment for counselling, if they are overloaded at the time. Write these down and keep them safe: Suicide hotlines, USA (phone) 1800 lifenet, or 1800 7842433, or 1800 2738355 Internet hotlines: http://www.suicidehotlines.com/national.html or http://www.suicidepreventionhotline.org/ Take a course in meditation, and also Tai Chi. Place a lighted candle in a darkened room, and sit comfortably before it, and gaze at it. Focus all your attention on the feeling your breath makes at the place where it enters and leaves your body. Breathe regularly, preferably through the nose, in and out, in and out, in and out...............any thoughts noted and dismissed as being distractions, as you return to the process........for 20 minutes daily, and whenever depression recurs. Eat healthily and exercise for 30 - 60 mins. daily. See www.healthyplace.com/communities/ (.com/communities) you may need to join. Also http://www.beattheblues.info/? and www.depression.com/-

Suicidal anxiety can be slowed up with work. Start cleaning, floors, bathrooms, kitchen, cars, wax em, then go work out. Run if nothing else. Ride a bike. Don't lay in the sun. Take no abuse from anybody. Get a tire iron and splay the hand that reachs. Call the cops on em. Take no *hit from anyone, even if you die, it's better than wanting to kill yourself because of them. If you hurt yourself your just doing the creeps work for him. Respect before Love, thay can fear you , a type of respect, and if you love anyone, they'll deserve it. Get up, go out there and get yourself a life.

Committing suicide certainly won't help at all. Your friends and family will take it harder than you could imagine, believe me. (Think about how you would feel if someone you cared about with all your heart killed themselves tonight.) If anyone in your family is abusing you, I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you really do need to tell an adult, or someone old enough and someone you trust to take the right actions towards stopping it. It will benefit you and your family to a healthier way of treating each other. It's unnecessary for anyone to abuse anyone, no one deserves it, to be honest.
Or you yourself could tell your family how you feel, or write them a letter, or you tell a mutual friend of you and your family's, and let that person explain to them how you feel.
But the only person that can explain it clearly is you. You need to tell them how you're feeling, and not sit back and just take it. That doesn't solve anything. It just obviously makes one miserable, and no one deserves to live that way.
So in short, just try to talk to them, or figure out a safe, non destructive way, to get your feelings across to them. If that doesn't help, then you need to start informing the right people about what's going on.
Life is a beautiful experience, and not everything that comes out of it makes people happy all the time... but getting through these times make you stronger... and something good always comes out of the bad. You just have to get through it and be patient. :)

depending on your age, you should call kids helpline on 1800 55 1800 or lifeline on 131114, and speak to someone immediately. these are both 24 hour numbers. if this isnt a possibiity, go and see a doctor, who can talk to you a bit more in depth about how you are feeling, and see if medication or counseeling is a good idea. a word of advice: i have had many days of dark depression, and have come very close to ending it all, but after that terrible moment has past, i am glad i am alive to be seeing the next moment. this too shall pass my lovely...

You shouldn't have to cope with being treated badly and abused. You need to tell someone you trust, like a teacher or just an adult friend or whoever. You can't go on living with people who treat you like this, who drive you to suicide. Get help. You don't have to put up with this crap.

1-800-SUICIDE is a good place to start. Secondly, make an appointment with your doctor, or ideally, a psychiatrist and ask for recommendations for a therapist as well. It may seem awful now, but things do get better. Suicide is not the answer.

If you are feeling suicidal you need to go to the ER immediately or talk to a family Dr. This is a very serious symptom of depression. You need someone to talk to and possibly some medication. Killing yourself will solve nothing. Please get the help that you need. Talk to someone now.

First and foremost, you need to calm down and take control of yourself.
The self-help toolkit on this website will help with that.
http://www.yorkhumangivens.co.uk/
Second, you need to make an emergency appointment with your GP. If you cannot do that, go to your nearest hospital and tell them what has been happening to you.
Lastly, suicide is not the answer. There is light at the end of the long dark tunnel and life is worth living. Please stay safe.
