My mom was supportive but my dad beat me and humiliated me..My brother also beat me ..they would say that i wasnt a "man" for being gay...my Church also neglected me, so i stopped goin...my friends whom i ha known for the longest time said they wanted nothing more to do with me and they withdrew...i felt as if i had lost my entire life so i tried to kill myself..i cut my wrist but my mom stopped me before i could cut bith..i went to the hospital and i got better..after that i said screw people who dont agree with me..screw conservatives, screw society...so thats my response...

I've had a family crisis, and i feel like woopin' da sh*t out of my self.

I have gotten upset b4 but i have never even thought about comitting suicide

I was sitting here thinking when did Napoleon come back? Then I saw my post. This thread is old. But if you want my opinion go look at it

Most people have not tried to commit suicide, but many people are depressed.

I bet like.....3/4 of the population of the U.S. has tried to commit suicide.
P.S. i'm one of 'em

ah...guys...is it just me, or does "complete suicide" sound better than "COMMIT suicide?" I dont even know anyone personally who took their own lives, but I have a good friend who attempted...and the thought just came up to me, thats all...agree or disagree?

As a teen myself, and at about his age (well...i'm 15), I think what helps the most is just knowing who you really are (positive characteristics though), and having friends is a big bonus. But, it seems that if a teen has a really bright future ahead, great friends, a great family, or all at once, thats what makes him/her the happiest. Does the guy have a lot of friends? Do you know by any chance if he's doing well academically, has a nice family bkg, or if he's even hiding any secrets? A lot of teens i know hide millions (or so it seems) of secrets...you remember those times, I suppose.

If you know him really well, just try talking to him one on one. I dont know everything, but I would think that if he knows and trusts you really well, maybe you could get him to talk to you if you let him know you care. Maybe, say, "hey, how's everything been lately? Have things been going well for you?" or "are you okay?" Or just ask how he basically is in the firefighter club you're running.

However, if you dont know him that well, just try occasionally getting to know him more maybe...by doing little things. Then, perhaps try to follow the advice I suggested above. If the guy still gives no response or tells you anything, contact the parents and let them know you're concerned about him - thats what i would do.

I really hope that this advice coming from a 15 year old helps...good luck!

P.S. I just had another idea. Wait for another event to come up such as when you have to save another suicide attempt or if you happen to save ppl from a burning house...then pull the WHOLE GROUP over and be like, "wow! that was amazing! see, look at all the lives we saved....the BRIGHT FUTURES ahead..." and sort of try to go into detail w/ life itself...the whole point being w/ suicial guy present of course.

Damn, who hasn't thought about trying suicide? Maybe some wacked out prep on coke, but normal ppl think about it all the time.

My best friend tried it several times, before we met. No one really liked her, but i am not gonna go into depth about that.

I have went so far as to write the note, and i sat with a big thing of pills for about an hour crying. But then I thought, that if i Killed myself i'd have to live this life all over again, and that would really suck, no hurt is worth me doing it again. So I am still here. I turned the letter into lyrics of a song for my band (of course i changed who was writing the letter). I try to see the positive, it sounds corny, but hey living it once is better than living it again!

much luv

I've had lots of thought about suicide. And I tried to commit suicide in January of this year. I had to spend a while in a mental hospital.

No, I'm a happy person, i get depressed sometimes but i never think about oging htat far

I bet you guys could help me with something.
(I bet it is not very often you get an adult asking you for your opinion?) But I could sure use it.
I run a youth firefighting program. One of my cadets is 17 years old. For the past 5-6 months he just has not been himself. He is really stressed out and sad all the time. He has lost all of his ambition and enthusiasim. And he just doesn’t want to talk to anyone anymore. I know the occasional teenage depression is normal, but he’s been like this for so long, I am starting to get worried. I told him that it was normal for him to feel like this at his age, that made him feel a little better. But what can I do to help him? Is there anything I can do? What are your thoughts? What helped you get through it all at such a tough age?

When I was in Middle School and High School, I thought about it a lot.
I am a volunteer firefighter and have been on alot of calls for suicide attempts. It is really sad that the mojority of the ones I have been on invloved kids ages 13-17. My very first EMS call was for a suicide attempt. I made it to the scene before the Rescue had arrived, to find a boy hanging from a rope in his garage. He was so blue. We thought for sure he was going to die. The paramedics and EMT’s worked on him for what seemed like forever and got know response from him. He actually lived. I have never seen anything more destressing.

Well, I was overcome with depression a few months ago and I'd thought about committing suicide plenty of times. But thanx 2 my friends, I never went that far
