It sounds like your sadness is completely normal, given the horrific circumstances in which you find yourself. The stress you are feeling is completely understandable.
Try to see that the mess created by other people in your life is what is making you feel so depressed. Your sadness is situational- it will pass eventually. You are most definitely not alone, life tortures most of us at some point.
You can reach a hotline by calling the Operator (0) ask for suicide prevention, or look it up in your phone book. Some day you will look back on this experience and be able to share your wisdom with someone else going through the same pain. I just did-been there, done that- came through with flying colors and you will too!!

Honey you aren't alone... not at all. Call the suicide hotline, if you can, find someone in life to talk to. A school councelor, someone. Perhaps you can talk to your parents (I know, I know, not fun) about getting a therapist to help you through the divorce.
I have completly been where you are. I spent many days as a teen wondering why the heck I was alive, wondering what the point of everything was, and just wishing there was an easier way. I have to tell you though, you have your WHOLE life ahead of you. Its a lot of living to do... its just not worth it to end it all now. Who knows what you might be missing. I promise you, what you are going through right now will get better, it will. It might take a lot of time, and there will probably be plenty of moments where you wonder if it would just be easier to end it all. But its not, trust me, its not.
Hang in there honey, and find someone to talk to. Just having a friend, or a therapist, or something can give you a reason to live.
Find your reason to live... find something you love to do, an activity, anything. Something that you can outlet your pain.
For right now... just get through the next few minutes, then the next hour, then to tommorow. And just keep telling yourself that, I will see tommorow... I will see tommorow... I will see tommorow.
Thinking of you.

You are not alone. You probably have more friends around you than you realize. Don't think the worst, because you are too young and you should have good thoughts. It seems like everything is coming down on you at once, but it will get better. Have you ever thought of talking to somebody in your family you are close too or that you like a lot? Have you thought about, talking to your school counselor, you can trust him and tell him everything. You need to tell someone, so you can be helped. If your Dad gets abusive with you call child protection service, or have your school call them. It is hard to live with a Drunk and once you are older you will understand why it's for the best for your parents to split. Look at the good side, you are young and beautiful and have your own beautiful live ahead of you. You can make your live whatever you wanted to be. If it gets out of hand at home than call 911, you are not alone and there is help. You will be fine.

First, I am sorry for all of the stressful things happening right now. I suggest a few things; look in the phone book for hotlines where you can call and talk with someone. At school, there are counselors I suggest you talk to, they can help you too. Next, make sure you are taking care of yourself; eating healthy, sleeping, not taking drugs or drinking alcohol. Say away from sodas and sugar, they are depressants along with alcohol.
Lean on caring friends and relatives. You are not alone honey, many people experience these things, and worse. Ask God to help you, He is listening and will help. Get closer to Him, it will really help you. Take care. I will pray for you.

Without God's love, you will always crave more and more and never be content.
Without a friend that gives you an honest answer when you want one, who who gives you one out of love, you will always feel some misery. And if you only have friends that flatter you, you may be depressed knowing that they are doing so because they want to take advantage of you in some way rather than truly loving you, or loving you with a pure love, love which isn't self-seeking.
Also, you may have a poor diet which is causing a chemical imbalance or making you depressed due to its blandness, have past trauma that is still bothering you because you don't know how to deal with it or because it was very painful, are encountering unpleasant smells often (like perhaps from a new rug which smells bad), have bland surroundings (you may want to decorate your walls with posters), have unpleasant parents, don't have friends or ones that give you bad to no advice when you ask for the help or when it's obvious you need it, you may have a boring getting-no-where life, or you may feel as if you're not getting your way in general (which frustrates everyone who feels that way).
I had problems with depression and suicide due to my parents neglecting my education, including knowledge about right from wrong, and not having much interesting or helpful to do. I also got mistreated a lot at various jobs I had and bullied at school for how I was dressed and appeared before I was 14.
Later I got stuck in a miserable substitute for a "normal" public high school and had next to no friends and soon after attending that school was bullied by the police off an on a few times. Other miserable things happened including being repeatedly kicked out, but God helped me beat my depression and saved me. I'm still depressed sometimes, but it's not as bad now and I always have hope.
Make Christian friends and check out the link in my profile if you are interested in spiritual help, which I found has been a lasting and permanent solution heading towards perfect peace. I hope you show the link to others.

I just said a prayer for you and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Things WILL get better; you're having a tough time right now, but things have a way of working out. I'm glad you've reached out for help, you really do not want to hurt yourself. Your parents love you - don't be afraid to talk to your mom about your feelings. Here's a big HUG across the computer.

think in 10 years this will all be better, and if you make the right choice now which is to not give up and do your best you will be happier much happier in 10 years.these are temporary problems.

killing yourself is always a bad idea. it is ok to feel sad when life's circumstances seem unbearable, but bear with them. before long your perspective will change and life will be more than worthwhile. you will be so grateful that you didn't go through with your suicidal feelings.
