Blah, blah, blah, suicide's not the answer, blah, blah, blah. Look Onlyangel, a lot of people are going to throw shit at you about looking at what it will do to your family, life will get better, be patient, whatever. I came within inches of committing suicide, but I chose not to because of one person who was in my life at the time. Life wasn't just peachy after that, and it didn't get much better. My youth was fucked up, and my first boyfriend (the one who I used to say saved my life) fucked my life up even more when we broke up. I've been an emotional wreck for a long time until recently. Then I realized something, this life is mine. The present is mine to do what I will with. I could either sit around moping because I had a bitch for a stepmom who left and a birthmother who abandoned me, or I could get on with my life and enjoy what I had in the present. I had plans for my life, and I'm not about to let my past get in the way of me accomplishing those dreams. Do you have plans for life? If not, get some. Build your dreams and go for them. Focus all of your attention on getting yourself where you want to go, and everything else will fall away. You want to stop having sex? Do it. Why throw around your body like that? What purpose does it serve? It certainly won't help you accomplish your dreams. Get yourself away from the computer and go out. Hang out with your friends more. You don't have to dump all of your problems on them. Just enjoy the time you spend with them, even if all they talk about is boys. Learn how to talk to them or get some new friends. Most importantly, start doing your homework and caring about school. That school can get you going towards your future. If you fail in school do you really think you're going to be able to get away from the family you say is so fucked up? I don't think so. It's your life, throw yourself into it and make something of it. Sure, life isn't all roses and cream, but you just have to roll with that and learn to stand back up when it knocks you down. Take up writing to help you deal with the depression. Just write down everything you're feeling that day and why every night before you go to bed. You'll be amazed at how much better that alone can make you feel. I think someone mentioned volunteering, and I agree. That could help you feel better about yourself and you'll get the opportunity to see others who are worse off than you are. Take control of your life, don't let it control you.
