People are always telling me, "things will get better". That's crap. Ever since I was born my life has kept on getting worst. Grade 8 was the first year I started harming myself for failing school (yes I had a tutor, yes I gave up a VERY large portion of my life to bring my marks, yes I studied). Then EVERYONE told me that high school was going to be fun. Grade 9 came and I first started therapy. Then Grade 10 came and I was first diagnosed with clinical depression. Grade 11 has come and I was hospitalized for suicide prevention. I hate my life so much. I am either at school failing or at home with people trying to kill each other. I hate who I am so even being alone is awful. Why is my life always getting worse and how can I make it better without medication (yes I do have anti-depression medication)? To be honest, if my life doesn't improve within the next year or two, I am bailing out.

Erm. Serious time!
I have to agree, the people who say things will get better are wrong.
Life is full of problems, you'll be okay once you stop thinking about them...The more you do, the bigger they get..
Your grades: GRADES AREN'T EVERYTHING. They are good for school & college, and also for everyone being proud of you...But when you die, what's the point of knowing, anyway?
Once my horroscope said this to me:
"If you spend too much time thinking about your past, how can you move forward?"
Most people would take that as a warning, but I took it as advice. if you have depression, the medication should help, do NOT stop taking it! My mom takes her medication for it, and she's been doing great. If you comit suicide that means you are weak, if you want to show how stronge & smart you can be; stay alive, things will be okay if you take my advice!!!!!..Atleast, I hope so?

Sounds like the "people in your life trying to kill each other" are the problem. My guess is that if things haven't been getting better it's because you're still in that same toxic environment. Hostility at home can make everything else in the world seem negative, and you might never be free of that until you're out of there. That's probably also given you a negative view of yourself, since everyone around you is negative. The best advice I can give you is to get out of that home environment as soon as you can--sounds like you're almost old enough, and you are old enough to be an emancipated minor if you want to go that route.

Well, I am afraid your case might be a lost case. Sorry about it. But look around you: do you honestly believe the rest of miserable mortals, like me, are that "happy"? They lead a bad to worse case of depressed life than yours. Maybe it is an attitude problem. Anyway, you left out what was your relationship with your parents, if any. Why not take a look at it?

Whoever this mysterious Mac is, he is right. But he didn't give you enough information. You see, if you're in a bad mood and expect things to get worse, they're going to get worse. Opposing to, if you're in a good mood and visualize great things happening and believing in them, great things will happen in your life. Like when you said that it's crap that things will get better, well see? You're not having confidence in yourself. Believe me, you could turn your life around with just a positive thought and faith. It's all true. Things will get better if you believe things will get better.

people keep telling you "things will get better" because they think/hope that they will, and think that they will if you have a positive attitude then they will. don't bail out on us just yet... think of it this way: things can't be getting a lot worse can they?
..... the beginging of jinx's answer reminded me of a quote i heard a few weeks ago.... "if you worry you'll die, but if you don't worry you'll die anyway so why bother"

You have only one choice and that is the Lord. You have ancestral curses. You just said, "at home with people trying to kill each other." I want you to read this verse of Scripture
Deuteronomy 30:19-20
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed (children) may live: That you may love the Lord thy God and that you may obey His voice, and that you may cleave unto Him: for His is thy life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, to give them."
Its your choice. You can't have your sins and also have your blessings. And you have ancestral sins that have nothing to do with you but you've inherited them and they are literally killing you day by day.
What the above verse tells you is to "choose life and Christ is life." I assume those people that are trying to kill themselves in your home are your parents that have been fighting. They have taught you very well how to be unhappy, but if the truth is known their parents taught them how to be unhappy.
Choose the way of the Lord and follow the example of Jesus Christ and be happy, content and at peace with all people. Three things that we must have in life to be happy and that is
1. Peace with God 2. Peace with ourselves 3. Peace with others. The same is Love God, Love yourself and Love others.
When Christ comes into your heart He will change you. You go to the Lord just as you are and say, "Lord have mercy upon me a sinner. My life is a mess. I don't know how to make it better but you know how to do it. I surrender my life to you Lord, take me and change me. Forgive my sins as I forgive those who have sinned against me. Forgive the sins of my ancestors which I know nothing about, but I see the consequences of their sins. Lord, I believe in you. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
Get a Bible and start reading the Book of John in the New Testament. I prefer the KJV Bible which is the King James version. Find a Bible Study group in church and start learning about your Lord. When the Holy Spirit comes inside He will start changing your life and it will be such a drastic change after a while that you will wonder why you could ever have had the thoughts that I just read.
Another thing, Jesus will never leave you or forsake you. You will never be alone again.
