Should I end my own life?

Question

I have find it so pointless to live. I felt like i am a burden to everyone around me. No one understands how I feel. Problems in life are drowning me. I know it is quite stupid for a teenager like me to think of death. But I really don't have the will to live anymore. :(

Answer 1

You're not alone. Definitely not alone. I've had my share of similar thoughts -- but you know what? I'm not going to give you the regular advice. You should do all the things you've wanted to do then think about it again. Sometimes life can be quite fun and beautiful and sometimes it can be down right shitty. Just experience both sides before you make a decision okay? Okay.

Answer 2

There are a lot of girls out there that have the same feelings everyday just like you. Don't just be another statistic and stay alive. I put my life on the line every day and I am 21 married and have two children. I am getting ready to go over to the danger zone with the military and will be facing death more than now every day I wake up and go to sleep. Just keep on trying to find something that is a highlight or create a new highlight in your life. Things can change in a matter of a blink of an eye. All you have to do is wait and be patient. There is something good out there for you. Just keep in high spirits and the right thing will come along when you least expect it.

Honey, there are always things in life that get us down temporarily, but they will get better.
I haven't been a teenager in quite some time, but I remember how hopeless it felt at times. I can only tell you that none of those things that affected me then affect me now. It did get better, even when felt it wouldn't.
I don't know your family but I am sure they would really miss you if you were gone. I know it would destroy me if m daughter chose to end her life. We don't always agree, and sometimes we really don't seem to understand each other's point of view, but no matter what kind of stuff is going on between us I love her more than life and would do anything to keep her safe and alive. I am sure your mother is the same way. I think you should talk with her and let her know what is going on in your head. She can help.

Answer 4

No, don't end it. Write down what bothers you about you and then try to figure out a way to fix your problems. Confide in someone who will give you the right advice. Life is super short as it is. You have many things to look forward to, all the bad stuff does pass but find a plan to make your life better.
It really is pretty good when you find that place of happiness, it's here- you just have to look for it.
p.s. if you try to bury your problems with drugs or alcohol- they will resurface and it will be worse. try to stay clean, exercise, find some hobbies, learn how to play an instrument, go rock climbing, hiking, spend a day at the beach, save up your money and go on vacation, alone, try an art class, cooking class, volunteer at the animal shelter, adopt a pet,anything to distract you from these horrible thoughts. Try strengthening your relationship with God.
Ask for guidance, read the bible.
I pray for you, girl.
Live on----life is great!

Answer 5

I just lost my big brother to suicide, listen you are young ..stop and think a moment. You will leave behind so many questions, my advice is to give it time. I know you think at the moment that time is not going to work but you make a commitment to yourself that you will wait one week, I know a week seems long but everything in life changes week to week. If you need too you wait an hour then another, what ever time frame works for you. Suicide is never the answer it hurts and not to be morbid but what if you don't succeed and you end up with some permanent physical or mental handicap, then you would truly be a bur don to your loved ones, you are a teenager and you are going through alot right now ..it will get better hun. Just know you are not a bur don and that you will get through this time in your life.

Answer 6

If you have taken the time to ask, I don't think you really want to. You just need someone to talk to right now. When I feel overwhelmed, I try to find peace within by praying. I lost everything two year ago: my home, job, friends, etc. I felt depressed for awhile. I think it's natural, but I learned not to let anyone or anything steal my joy. You control your own happiness. Take your power back now! This too shall pass and you will become a mature healthy young woman some day. I wish you well.

Answer 7

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Life can be very difficult at times. Sometimes I have felt the same way you feel right now. You are probably thinking that they will be sorry for what was done to you that forced you to kill yourself. Guess what. That is not the way it works. People will be angry with you for putting them through so much pain. They will feel that you did not love them or you would not have hurt them by doing that to yourself. You will be dead and everyone will be mad at you. I have seen it happen before. The long suicide note saying that she loved everyone, etc.. meant nothing to the grieving family and friends. They were just plain angry with her for giving up.

Don't put your friends and family though that. Fight to survive. The old saying is that "only the strong survive", and it is very true This will not be the last time you feel almost helpless, but next time you will be stronger because you survived this time. My prayers are with you. Take care. I hope that your problems will work themselves out very soon.

Answer 8

Sweetheart,
You really need to sit and think about what you are saying. I am sure you are not a burden to those who love you. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you, if you are having problems at home, talk to your minister, if you don't go to church, talk to a counselor at school or a close friend, or her mom. nothing is ever worth taking your own life. It may not seem like that now, but you don't know how many peoples lives you have touched just by being you.

You may just be going thru puberty and have all there emotions rolling around you that you don't understand right now..

If you need to talk, send me a message, and I'll talk to you and do whatever I can to help you.

Answer 9

The feelings you're having are actually mostly illusions. Yes, you're going through pain, but your mind takes that pain and creates false interpretations of what's going on around you. So thoughts about death are more your mind forcing you to think that way. But you can get out of that state of mind. Send me an e-mail at [e-mail] as soon as possible. I'm happy to work on this with you. You don't need to feel hopeless; there's no reason to. You're not a burden to anybody, and definitely not a burden to me. We can talk over an instant messenger too, if you'd like. I'll be online for awhile, so get in contact with me right away, if you'd like to talk.

Ahh I've been there.... Do you feel like you cause everyone problems and that you want to go live in a hole ? But then feel guilty at the possibility that you may hurt the people around you that care abotu you, even if they dont seem like it ?

Youre depressed, and I was too, what you need to do is talk with someone, not a counseller, theyre strangers.. Talk with your mom , a friend.... dad.. anyone who you feel is doing you wrong in any way. You'll be amazed at how great you feel afterwards...... I waited 7 yrs before I talked to my mom flat out and said I wanted to kill myself. And we talked for 10 hours straight, and since then, my life as been nothing but wonders and joy.

Try it, you can't have anything bad happen from it.
