I'm so sorry to hear about your pain. First off why do you have to take care of your brother? Where are your parents in all of this? Can you talk to your parents about what happened yesterday? Do you have any friends who you can talk to?I don't think God is trying to punish you for anything. We don't always see Gods plan in things but know He is always working in our lives. Theres a story about a man stranded on an island. He only has a few belongings and a hut that he built for shelter. He asks God over and over to save him. He goes hunting one day only to come back to his hut on fire. He loses everything.He is angry and yells at God. The next day a man rescues him. The man tells him if it werent for your smoke signals I never would have found you. God had a plan. The man thought he had lost everything but in turn it was quite the opposit. Read the story of Job. He too loses everything. His friends tell him to turn his back on God. Job refuses and stands true to God. In turn God give him back everything and more. God doesnt promise any of us a easier life. He promises a better life. A life with the hope of a future with Him. Maybe he is prepairing you for something in the future. Maybe you will be able to help another teenager down the road. I don't know his plan. But please don't turn your back on Him. He does love you, He hasn't forgot about you. He will answer your prayers. Turn toward Him and He will comfort you. I will be praying for you. If you need to talk you can email me. God bless.

Wow.
Dear, you are doing nothing wrong. It is people around you who are doing you wrong. It is a shame that your parents make you care for your brother, and as a result, you have missed out on your childhood.
Kids are mean, they will pick on you if you are different. Because youve been forced to care for your brother, rather than living the normal life of a teenager, you are likely socially challenged - and this is why they mock you.
I wont comment on the religion aspect, because I am an atheist. Thats between you and your god. But, I hope that at some point you get the chance to be a kid, instead of the adult youve been since you were old enough to care for your brother. You are a good person - remember that.

#1 Talk to a Doctor or a counselor immediately if you're truely having thoughts of suicide.
#2 Realize that your troubles right now are completely temporary. You're 17, that means your life IS going to change very soon. Do some things to prepare for your future. Look into some colleges--especially colleges that will require you to move away from your difficult situation at home and live in a dorm. To one degree or another, everyone experiences what you're going through--alienation at school, parents who seem to misunderstand you, etc. It all resolves itself when you mature and go on to make your own life. You need some confidence in yourself, and you have it in you to get through this. Good luck.

You really need to stop believing that God has total control over your life. Free will, remember. What you think manifests more of what you think, what you feel manifests more of what you feel. Take charge and get yourself a life. You can choose to do anything (free will). You are grandly loved by the Living Presence. You do count, you are important. You just have to make yourself count in your own life by doing what brings you joy. Your choice. Add to your life some little things you love to do, include others. Change your routine, think bigger. Watch a movie called, "The Secret". Stop thinking about suicide, watch the movie and your mind will explode into greater new, fun, fantastic ideas that you can change, you are loved and you are worth having joy. Love you.

Absolutely!!! It was once anything extra formal, but I used to speak to Him some thing the rationale and considering that I stored ahead to my possess ambition and wishes, while He gave me avertisements I stored none and did my manner going into increasingly trubles! Into an finish, inside a deep depresion, He stored my lifestyles (!!!) the very moment I left away of all my deep wishes... There, empty middle, I was once stuffed with God's Light and Peace and Love - a whole New LIFE, a brand new frame, a New Vision over the beyond and the longer term :) :) :) Yes, He is my Saviour!!!

Whatever you do, do not kill yourself. A life is a precious thing, a life has so much potential, a life affects more lives than just one. I don't even know you, but i care for you. I know that you think that God is responsible for your suffering and that God does not love you, but you are wrong. Though it may not seem like it, God loves you SO much. We can never understand the extent of his love. How can we? Jesus, who is God, died for you so that you won't have to live like this. I know it is hard, but keep on persevering. I wonder, do you read the Bible? The Bible is God's Word. Read it! Know that whatever happened "yesterday," God loves you regardless. Though it may seem like God is not listening to your prayers, He is. But pray not for your own wants. God did not die for you in that you could live a solitary happy life. No, God has something special in mind. Jesus died because He loved the world and wanted His creation to share in his glory! Don't simply pray to have a happy life. Many people forget God when life gets comfortable. pray that God would use your life for HIS glory. Please don't give up on God, He has not and will not give up one you. Get involved in a genuine church (there are many fake churches). Know that more people love you than you think.

With all of the stress that you are dealing with in your life, it is easy to understand why you are feeling so depressed. It is very commendable that you help care for your brother.
Don't give up on God. The Bible tells us that He is not far off from any of us, but it takes effort to get to know him.
(Acts 17:26, 27)
God helps his servants today, not by delivering them miraculously, but by giving them his holy spirit and "the power beyond what is normal" to cope with whatever situation they may face. (2 Corinthians 4:7) The apostle Paul wrote: "For all things I have the strength by virtue of him [God] who imparts power to me."—Philippians 4:13.
1Peter 5:6, 7 says: "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; while you throw all your anxiety upon him, because he cares for you."
Prayers must meet certain requirements if they are to be acceptable to God.
For a detailed explanation of Prayers that are heard by God, you can go to the following article.

You've got the wrong impression of the Lord God....
He loves you no matter what. My question to you is this: Are you saved?
If so, your reward lies in eternity.....not here. I'm sorry about your brother.....it truly is sad. But it sounds like you've been a loving, patient & very thoughtful sister for a long time.....and God will reward that.

your looking after your brother instead of your parents?
I don't know how it came about that way, so I don't want to say anything too harsh here, but it sounds really like you've been abused (not in a physical or sexual way) in that you were taken advantage of.
I could say more, but without knowing more of the background etc it's hard

It appears to me that you're blaming God for the actions of people. I'm sorry that you're feeling so down.
