I can't believe I tried to commit suicide?!
Question: ...when I was 10. Yes, 10. That was 3 years ago and I am now 13. I'm not even sure why. I was seriously really close to killing myself but I saw my dad about to walk in so I stopped. How common is this? (Don't worry, I don't want to this again)

It is actually very common. But thanks to you. You stopped it. It first starts in your teen-age years when your hormones begin to go crazy and things in your life become very heightened. There seems to be no other way for you to cope and it just builds. But there are ways to help yourself. Just say no to these thoughts of death and an easy way out. Then find some people who will help you. There are church organizations, social services and many different ways to help yourself. Just ask. There are all kinds of ways to get out of your situation. Start visiting with friends or people who would love to help and nourish you.
I think that this is a question you will have to answer for yourself.
You are the only one who knows the reason why you tried to do it.
As for commonality, i think this is a rare case, a preteen wanting to commit suicide.
You are precious to G-d, don't even think of doing it again, life is valuable.
G-d bless,

well it is a good things you dad walked in and you saw him. I have wanted to so many tiimes, but then think what if I don't want to really but I O/D on a bunch of pills and can't get to the hospital. I live alone, so there isn't much help to get me there but for calling 911.
I don't know how commit it is in 10 year olds. but people get depressed, and think that it is the only answer is to kill themselves.
Maybe you need to talk to your parents about talk to them about wanting to see a therapist, maybe with the help of a therapist you can figure out why you were wanting to commit suicide. and resolve those issues.
Commiting suicide at the age of 10 isn't due to a depression, but curiosity. I wouldnt let this worry persist, it exists purely as a form of your paranoia.
I think it's pretty common because of puberty and hormones and all that. I remember when I was 9.
