10 POINT FOR BEST ANSWER!! Please help me, what do i do?

Question

I dropped out of school after 8th grade, my family has no money & we're in debt right now, my mom works 3am-4pm everyday with often overtime hours and my dad works 730am-6pm. I cut off all contact with my friends, and talk to no-one. I have lost all 3 of my dogs who were everything to me and I have been battling depression for 2 years. I cry constantly & though I've never attempted taking my life I wish I could. My parents share one car. My dad uses it for work and my mom carpools. I am stuck at my house all day with my 2 year old nephew to watch from 730am-8pm, 6 days a week & he spends the night about 3 times a week. I've been watching him for my sister for 4 months & she hasn't paid me anything, I just got into an arguement with my mom & sister. I yelled at them that I was tired of watching him whenever they want me too My sister is a single mom and doesn't have a money, I can't stand her & her low life boyfriend who always insults me Everyone expects me to do everything Please help

What do I do? I;m so alone and I hate my family. They judge, criticize and be mean to me. I'm only 16... by the way
Is there anything besides medicine and therapy?? I don't want to tell my family about my problems, I hate telling them anything, I don't like talking to them...I'm so miserable and there is no family I can go elsewhere to live with. I just got done crying my eyes out and I'm so miserable. I've had enough of this. Please be nice and don't insult me....

I can't tell my parents or sister that i won't babysit anymore because when I say that they hate me and yell at me. Last time my sister lost her job because I quit watching him and she didn't have a babysitter and I got in trouble and everyone was mad at me.

I recently passed an national and approved test in which i got my high school diploma. Next year I plan on enrolling in my local Community College and then I'll transfer to a University. I refuse to live here longer than I have to, I won't be able to last living here much longer.

I cutt off communication with my friends because they didn't care about me, they talked about me behind my back and they weren't true friends. They just made me feel even worse about myself.

Answer 1

If you seriously are thinking of killing yourself and you are as depressed as you say, your parents have an obligation by law to get you that help. If you broke your leg and they didn't take you to the hospital because of no money or lack of time, they could be arrested. It is the same with a mental illness. Besides, money should not be an issue if your parents are as poor you say, they will be eligible for government assistance which will pay for your medical attention. Make sure they understand how you feel and that you are considering committing suicide. Make sure they know this and make sure they know you want medical attention for your problem. If they do not get you the help you need, they can be charged and possibly arrested. It is called child neglect and or child abuse. If you parents have denied your request for medical attention, and you are serious about needing help before you commit suicide, call Child Protective Services on them. You most likely will be placed in foster care, they might be arrested, fined and/or locked up but you will not be dead and you will get the medical attention that you require. I would only use this step as a last measure, because it is so drastic. It will separate you physically and emotionally from your family and this might never return to normal. Try to exhaust every other avenue that is open to you. Only do this if you have decided that it is either this or commit suicide. I wish you the best of luck and I feel for you.
Concerning Kaycee's answer
Please ignore this person. They have no idea what depression is like or what it causes you to do. Get your depression fixed first. That is number one importance. People like Kaycee don't understand that the reason you drop out and cut all ties with friends was most likely because of the depression. They don't realize how bleak it can make life seem and the bad decision it can cause you to make. Don't let them make you feel like this is solely your fault. You are a child and it is your parents responsibility to look after you and help you make decision until you reach that magic age. They are not doing that when they deny you medical help.

Answer 2

You are 16 and since you have a diploma, you can get a job. There must be something within walking distance, a friend could drive you or take the bus or ride a bike. Put an ad in local establishments for your babysitting skills. Ask the parents to pick you up and drive you home afterward. This fixes your transportation troubles and charge about $8 an hour. Put so many ads out, you get something every day. You can also post your resume for sitting on various babysitting websites. These are free for sitters. Having an income will make things easier. Once your income is steady, you can get a car from a buy here pay here place. Then you can have any job you like. Good for you for enrolling in college! Post in the student union for room mates and move out.

Answer 3

You are incredibly articulate for a 16 yr. old drop out. You should get back in school as soon as possible by any means possible.

Next, find a theater and or school newspaper and get involved in it. (If your school does not have a newspaper, start one!) I say this because you have some real talent here.

Spend more time doing the things you love and let your sister deal with her baby. Don't be tempted to take it out on the 2 year old though.

You don't need theraphy... find a good non denominational church. Make friends there. Your are more likely to meet people who will encourage you to make your dreams come true. They will help you build faith in your ability to accomplish your goals -if you don't find this in the first church you go to, try another and another until you find "home" a place where you feel like you need to be because you feel better and you have hope for tommorrow.

Your going to be okay. Beloved, the sun will rise on you tommorrow. Please consider what I said about the church. You musn't go around with hatred in your heart, that will not do you any good. Who know's you might meet one of those sweet old church ladies who will baby sit for a small fee that your sister can pay. Tee Hee! You can outsmart them! You keep doing the right thing and one day they will all look up to you because this little test is designed to make you stronger -so go on thru it and give that 2 yr. old a big wet kiss for me!

Answer 4

I know life isn't easy, but it wasn't designed to be perfect. Everyone has bad days, some people more than others... and i'm sorry. There are obstacles that will cross your path, and you can overcome them if you wanted to enough. Trust me, ditching school at 8th grade, is NOT a wise decision at all. You'd be lucky to get a job at McDonalds with that choice. No school = living with mom the rest of your life. The benefit of school isn't only the educational part, but the social part too. You said you don't keep contact with your friends anymore, that was your decision and for that i can see why you're lonely and depressed. You made a decision to exclude everyone from your life, and you got what you deserve. If you go back to school you can make new friends and you won't have to babysit your cousin, you'll have an excuse to escape from that responsability.

I have a lot of responsability put upon my shoulders too, but that's just part of becoming older. You do know, that if you don't go to school/college.. the more stress and work you will receieve? I know this because my mom never graduated from HIGH SCHOOL and she is absolutely miserable with her job.. she works all the time and she hates it. I can't stress enough how much harder life will be for you if you don't go back to school.

You NEED to go back to school, period. Obviously the people you refer'd to as friends weren't friends at all. If you go back to school you could try over again, and make new friends.

There's a lot of kids who have it worse than you, but they still apply themselves to wake up everyday and go to school, it's NOT hard and it will make your future so much better.

Answer 5

Sweetie I so know where you are coming from and as for your sister and her punk butt boy friend( note this the clean version) tell them like it or not your need to keep their kid or get a job and hire a babysitter, and don't be afraid to express your feelings to your family,
Just tell them in a calm way that don't provoke them into yelling and screaming at you . For right now til you are 18 just ride it out. Get you GED and when you do explain to the Adult ED Supervisor that you don't have any money to pay for the exam and that you want a way to get out of your situation and they should be able to work with you.

When you get that going in the meantime when you get depressed got your room get down on you knees and just pray for the strengh to get through your troubles, and to free yourself of all the negative envirnment that you live in.
I had to do this everyday to keep my sanity. I hope this helps you a lot I will pray for you whatever you do don't give up on yourself you have a mission in life, and don't let anyone stand in your way. God Bless you.

Answer 6

Coming from someone who has not had the easiest family life, I can understand what it feels like to have pain that you don't want to talk to your family members about. However, if you keep all your emotions bottled up, your problems will evolve and turn into all kinds of additional problems in the future. While it may be hard to imagine, try to sit down your parents in a very serious and calm way, and straight-out tell them how you are feeling. Be patient with them, as they sound very busy and stressed as well. If it doesn't work out, get back to me.

Answer 9

I'm not an expert of any knid,but,dropping out of school in 8th grade,you didn't do yourself any favor--And as for the rest of it--Your parents need to take care of things,and your sister,being a single mom,needs to stand on her own two feet,and do what she needs to do for her family--as for you,thats good you got your diploma,and yeah;go for it-get out,be on your own,you will probably like it,because you can set your own rules-and not have to answer to anyone but yourself--so good or bad--you are the one that pays the piper,so to speak--
