Answer 1

go to your school counselor or the department of corrections, child abuse prevention. Don't try to treat your problem alone or cut class. Use the help that's available.

Answer 2

What kind of abuse? By whom? If your parents are the ones abusing you, or even if they're aware of the abuse and not stopping it, call child protective services. Or at least talk to an aunt or an uncle.

I was abused by my dad after my mom died (when I was 10), and I was convinced that either nobody would care if I told them, or my dad would find out and it would just get worse. Years later I found out that if my aunts and uncles had known HOW bad it was, they would have stepped in - they just weren't aware of what was going on.

I'm sorry your friend betrayed you. I wish I could say this will be the only time that happens. You'll learn to withstand the pain this causes as you mature, and you'll also learn to make wise choices in who to call a friend.

I don't know what she did to wreck your life, but you can overcome it and get past it. Lives are ruined and repaired every day, all over the world. You're still unique, but you're in good company.

p.s. If you are suicidal, the hospital might be the best place for you just now. They're not really scary places, they're not full of drugged-up maniacs that scream at blackboard erasers and bang their head against the wall. The people there are just relatively normal people who need some help figuring out how to get past a crisis. And it's a safe place, where people will be keeping an eye on you to make sure that even if you decide on suicide, they'll keep you from it so you can make it to where you don't feel the need to die anymore.

Answer 3

Sounds like you have every right to be depressed, and I don't think your parents care enough to put you in a hospital. Have you tried St. John's Wort? It has the least side affects, and nothing works for everybody (we're all different). Also, check out the councilors and teachers at school, see if you can find one you trust. You need an adult you can trust. Tell them about the abuse. That is just the first step. If you feel you can't trust anyone, you'll probably end up doing what I did. Stick it out, finish school, get a job, find some one you trust enough to move into an apartment together to share costs. What ever you do, avoid using credit cards. They are designed to sap your income the way abuse saps your strength. Use a savings account and be very careful not to give anybody your information. My husband and I have separate accounts, though we share the bills (he gets more bills because I have a smaller income). Being on your own is a b witch, but it's a lot better than being abused. Take care of you, nobody else will.

Answer 4

First of all, you need to get professional help. That is going to an medical doctor and getting diagnosed. Then what he/she may suggest, then do it. Second, you need to be truthful with the emotional stress that you are going through. Third you need to go a professional counsler, being sudical, is just an way out, for the wrong reason. You may be overwhelmed with the problem, but there's help. Since you are in the 10 grade, you probably could get an program that's low cost. I know this may seem like a lot , but get the help you disperately need. My daughter is an cutter, and she started in the 8th grade. Every little thing seemed to set her off, until she started with professional help, meaning counsling sessions and group sessions, now she doing better. She is starting the 12th grade in the fall.

Answer 5

first of all. Hi. smile for just a moment, even if you do not feel like it.
I know life sucks and all. but just think for a moment . think about the things you are grateful for. for example.
Are you blind. be grateful that you can see.
now humor me for just one more time.
stand up and jump up and down and wiggle your finger and toes. kewl. you are not paralyzed.
are you in a awful jail or did you sleep in a warm bed last night. well you get what i mean. look at all the Good things you have and not the bad things. I get depressed all the time too. and when i do get depressed i think of the good thing i have , like i can see the dirty garbage can. i am glad i can see it. then i suddenly realize how really silly my sadness is.
compare to what is really happening. if your friend of 5 years betrayed you, then she was not really a friend, so why do you care about some one that is not really your friend.
what ever saddens you turn it into something positive to feel good about. good luck. and choose to be positive. I'll do the same.

Answer 6

well you have to keep your head up high andhope for the best. Go around meet some new people that might be more friendly. Also if that isn't enough or just won't work I suggest you see a theropist whether it's at your school or a professional. Depression isn't a good thing to be caught up in.

Answer 7

Your an angel!!!! Don't torture yourself for the bad choices of others. I understand that you have been through alot of abuse. And I trully feel for you. But I also have lived longer than you to tell you that its not worth it to blame your self for the bad treatment of others. I have to remind you that you have the choice to put all of those thing behind you and move on...Stay in SCHOOL that is your one way ticket to a better place out of your abusive home. Your parents are not parents to you. They don't know how to raise children and they sound ignorant. Don't let that affect you. Educate yourself, work, go to school. Loose your friend of five years. Now you know who your friends are. Trust me there are good people out there. Do what is good and true. Talk to God go to a youth group. I did when I was at my worst and guess what, They accepted me the way I was and they prayed for me. Thats where I had my first encounter with Jesus. I cried and cried as if I was sitting on the floor feeling sorry for myself and my head was on Jesuses lap and he was stroking my head as if to understand every thing I was going through. Afterwards I felt better. And eversince when I feel sad or depressed I talk to Jesus and put my problems in his hands and some how the pressure is less. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK... Jesus gives us the power of free will and choice meaning that he will not make us do any thing that we don't want. Unless there you have a health issue like chemical imbalance or thyroid disorder or other... Its your choice to be in the position that your in. Get tested , talk to a councelor at school and see what they can do for you. Talk to your mother and ask her to take you to the doctor to get a physical. Good luck little angel of God. Don't let others run your life or ruin it take charge of it, take care of it...Good luck

Answer 8

First of all you are a minor. Not an adult. Tell your parents. ASAP.

Cutting is a disease state of the mind. Just like depression and anxiety. You need help. Start by seeing a shrink ASAP.


Also you really do need therapy. It will help very much.

But the first step is your family and friends. They can help. Tell your parents.

Answer 9

You will win this battle if you choose to do so. Tell yourself that you will, and I assure you that it will happen. Also, at your age, your hormones are acting up, keep this in mind, this will soon be a thing of the past, and you will soon make new friends and acquaintances, it just happens. You will see. Hang in there, life is good.

Answer 10

Sounds weird... But I have depression.

Cutting is an addiction, like how people are addicted to cigarrettes.

You need to better yourself and do something better w/ yourself to STOP cutting.

Once you make the mistake of being suicidal, you'll realize how dearly life is.

Get help, you can't do it alone.
