I feel so sad and alone...I have no one I can talk to about my problems and sometimes I wish I was dead....?

That doesn't sound like much fun. I myself have severe depression and anxiety, and am completely drugged up on a mixture of anti-depressants and anti-axiety meds all day. I have tried to commit suicide once.

Not Fun. I have a loving family and trying to explain to them my reasons was even more painful than the act itself. You sadly don't have the luxury of a good homelife, as I do.

I'm 17, in my last year of school before I go to university (you American's call it college?) 8 months ago the world was supposedly at my feet. I seem to be doing the best I can to destroy that.. From one person who wants to die to another, you have to ask yourself two questions. 1) Why shouldn't I die?

- If you can answer this, then hopefully it will give you a way of holding on. 2) Will it get better? - Everyone tells me mine will, of course I don't believe them.. But yours might.

How about you leave home. Tell your parents if they give you money you'll be permanently out of their hair? Then you can get on with your life and find a special someone to share it with?

I myself find it hard to keep going, but I carry on for my mum. Try and find a way to keep going. One thing, that's all you need to make suicide slightly less appealing.

How about you ignore your parents 'rules' and get a boyfriend? Anything, honestly. Anyway, I'm bit of a hypocrite giving out advice when I myself am so utterly messed up.

But, I sincerely hope you find something in life to fulfil you. And if not, I'm sure you'll find some solace in blessed oblivion.

Well first off you cant control who you're attracted to. If you're attracted to men, so what that's other peoples' problems if they can't handle that too bad for them. If you can't handle it, you need to sit in front of a mirror and think "who is declan?"

Does Declan like men? Is Declan a little antisocial? It's ok to be, I completly understand but maybe you need to try some new things.

You need a taste of what life is besides trips to disney, parents that ignore you, and spoiled sisters. There is no need what so ever for you to readjust yourself so others will love you. If you think you're wrong.

There's something wrong with them if they can't love someone for who they are straight, gay, happy , or not everyone needs to be loved. There will always be people out there that think just like you. One day you will meet someone that will make you feel completly and incandesently happy and out of this world you live in.

No matter how tough times are you just gotta let them pass you by. I suggest you live somewhere else where people are humble and love the people they're surrounded with....mexico perhaps. If you are young I suggest a foreign exchange program....seeing as you have the money.

That way you will have a fresh start somewhere else where people will become friends who truly love the Declan you truly are.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
