Just about to start college? Well, that sounds like something to live for. You have had some challenges, but clearly you have lots of accomplishments to be proud of. You may have made a few mistakes in your life, but we all can learn from them. Lord knows I have made my share. Please don't end your life for some how some way you can influence others in positive light. Demonstrate your ability to conquer the challenges that people face with Cerebral Palsy, go to college and learn. Something I wished I had done when i was younger, but I failed to follow up on school. I am sorry you were teased, but find something to get focused on. Did you ever consider seeing a pastor or a priest or some type of clergymen for these thoughts that you have? Were all worth living, and I know that you realize this down deep. So, dismiss those thoughts and challenge yourself to show the world that you really do matter! Most of all explain to your own inner self that you really are worth the air that you breath! God made you for a purpose you just have yet to realize that! Good luck kid!

In some ways it may get worse but in more ways it can get better as there are more of a variety of ppl in college. There will always be a minor group of ppl who need to make themselves feel better by putting anyone down for any reason. Though for the most part tolerant/accepting ppl outweigh the others. College for many ppl is a different experience than high school ( which most ppl at some point really dread and maybe one or two want to set on fire). Many ppl no matter how easy/hard their lives would be may at some point wonder what's the point. Depending on what college you are going to they tend to have better student services and a bit more options for the more varied student body. At least you wanted something out of life like going to college and beyond which is a good start.

I know it feels bleak, and life is hard... harder for you than most.. you are young and your whole life has not happened yet, you were teased, just like a lot of us..at least that was normal for you, we all had to go through some kind of ridicule for something from someone at one time. You are going to college, wonderful!! Wait until you find what you are interested in in school your whole life will change, you will become passionate about yourself and learning. You are here for a reason, you are going to help someone, that you have not even met yet. What is that person going to do if you just never show up?? I feel you look at yourself in your mirror and wonder how and why... you have to concentrate on your mind and using it to help someone else or a cause. Right now the cause is your life. Dont be a fool and give it up, you know you will just have to come back and do it all over again, if you check out. Life is about learning lessons that you did not learn in the last life. My brother is blind and has a metal problem, his life is hell, but he has often said.." no matter how miserable he gets or angry, he will not kill himself due, not because of hell, thats a myth, because of coming back and having to do it all over again. Now that is the real hell. Maybe you are depressed as well, have you seen a therapist, its the best thing, they really do turn things around. Find a good one that you like, if you dont , look for another one, it is like medication, sometimes you have to keep trying new ones until the formula works. Write to me if you need talk more, I would love to help you and talk things out with you. I mean that more than you know.

Your life is a gift you should treat it like one. You are unique and deserve respect. Everything should get better, we all have those moments in which everything goes wrong . Sometimes people are mean and you will just have to learn to ignore them. This kind of people are not happy with themselves and try to make themselves feel better by teasing others ( I know because I know someone that does this). Don't let that affect you. Get away from the bad people around you. Watch your actions stay out of trouble. Suicide is NEVER the answer. If you have very strong feeling about suicide please seek help, think about the people that love and care about you. Think about your future and all of the good things to come that you would miss if you committed suicide. Get your education and move on with your life, forget about all those people that did not realize how unique and important you are. MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND BE HAPPY.

You have struggled for 22 years already. Another 22 years will just be like a walk in the park. Think of your family who will be badly hurt if you take your own life. Don't mind the people constantly teasing you...you're the better person, you know better and you're raised well enough to know that suicide is never an option.

You're past the major teasing years. Now is the time when you get to prove that living well is the best revenge. Go to college, do the work and then enjoy your life.
But get therapy anyway, because when thoughts of suicide enter the picture, it has become something too big for you to deal with on your own.

Don't you dare kill yourself! You are not the one in the wrong the bullies are. They have to hurt and bully others to make them feel worth. That in it's self tells you have how happy they are - which is not very. Happy people don't want to hurt others. Therefore your worth is not measured by these morons. I know it's hard I also was bullied in school,then when I went to work it continued. It is sole destroying. I over come it by becoming 'gobby'(sticking up for myself) but it's not easy. I just got to the point where I had nothing to lose. I hope you find a way of coping with this as my heart bleeds for you as the memories are still with me and I can still remember the pain, all be it know in the distance. Remember you are no loser, they are! Perhaps you can call someone to talk to them. Like the Samaritans for instance.

Your problems are real and would push anyone to the edge. I've been clinically depressed for 20 years and I've been able to cope with the help of anti-depressants. First, consider those who care about you and what it would do to them. If you can honestly say that there is no one - look further. You've turned to us. There are certainly people here who care.
Try prayer, counciling, anything but ending it. Go to college and get consumed in your studies and your goals. Talk to someone. Get counciling. Don't give up! You'ld be amazed at what a person can pull himself through. Best of luck to you.

Facing a life with a disability is a hard task for anyone. But suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Can you explore different things to help you to cope better with your life, like faith in God? I have an emotional disability...I have all my adult life, and I don't think I could have made it this far without faith in God in my life.
Also, being a part of a church congregation can get you connected to community.
Is there some group you could join where other people with disabilities get together to discuss living with those special problems? Support groups are awesome. If you can't find one, maybe you could start one. That must be a common problem for others who have the added burden of coping with disabling conditions.
When I volunteer in the community or do something for others, it also helps me to get out of myself.
It is easy for those of us who have challenges in life to get to feeling sorry for ourselves and give up...but no one really has a life without challenge of some sort. If you have this to deal with, you must be strong enough to face it and come out a winner. So much depends on attitude. Find out what you are good at, and do it! Bring some cheer into someone else's life and yours will get better. God bless you!

life does get better if you want it to get better. theres to many people with ignorance in this world and that is why they tease. the way i see it is its their loss if they don't get to know someone that can be a really great person if they would just give them the chance. i thank God everyday i had the great parents i had to raise me with great morals and values in my life that my husband and i have passed on to our 3 children. they are always ready to be a friend and they defend and take up for those less fortunate than themselves. we are a poor family money wise but where it counts we are the richest people in the world and that is the riches of the heart. shaking palsy runs in my family. i myself have tremors caused by a blood vessel bursting in my brain when i had my oldest child. it also caused me to have cerebeller digenerative disease and ataxia. slurred speech at times and paralasis on my left side. i have had times i have wanted to give up in the past. but i love my family and friends and life. also we don't have the right to take away what God so willing gave his life for and that is our lives. so that we maight be saved. you might try going to church. a person can find true friends and support there. good luck and best wishes.
