Soooo depressed and hopeless.......?!
Question: I guess its normal for a 16 year old to want to kill themselves, but I honestly think mine goes farther than normal.
I am so shy and don't really have many friends, luckily, I have 2 bff's who I can't live without. But every time I go to school, I just sit there and think of how much I want to die, how ugly I am, or how I;m gunna kill myself, and I've failed more classes I can count, I;m so afraid and embarrased of being alone that I just want to die......things have been this way since 8th grade.

You're smack in the middle of the most difficult time that any of us go through, so it's completely understandable to have depressing thoughts. But suicidal thoughts are definitely concerning.
It might sound tough to do, but try to find someone outside your circle of friends and family that you can talk to, preferably a counselor at school or, if you feel you can ask your parents to help you, they can take you to a psychologist outside of school. Sometimes it just helps to have someone listen because they're simply there to listen. But psychologists also can help by asking the right questions to get down to the root causes of everything. And the best part is that they can keep your discussions private.
I'd think that just saying to one of your parents, "Lately I've been depressed, and I really think I'd like to talk to a psychologist" should work. Sure, they might get all concerned and start pressing you with questions, but if you counter with something like "I appreciate your concern, but I really do want to talk to someone outside our family" that might help. OF course, I don't know your family situation. If you're uncomfortable with that, perhaps your schoolc counselor?
But, most important is this: there's light at the end of the tunnel. I was shy in school, never dated until afterward. But I met a wonderful woman (who was also shy through school), we married in our early 20's, and it's now been 12+ years of happiness. And I can tell you lots of similar stories from among friends and family.
You can make it through this, but it's hardest to do it alone. Talk to someone who's had the chance to help a lot of others like you, and let their experience help you out.
All the best to you...
im deeply sorry to hear such things.
i must say the enemy satan wants you to believe that
i dont know you and i know you are extremely special despite your beliefs about looks or school
none of that matters, only your heart does
im sure i will get haters about what i have to say but assuming you dont pray... try it
and ask god to come into your life and give you peace
if you dont i will for you but its best that you ask as well
god bless! much love and email me if you ever need a friend to talk to
edit: btw im persian in america and i use to hate being persian in this country cus i felt soo many people dislike us but again thats the enemy trying to take your worth away from you , stay up and stay strong!
wow....
how much does your life suck????
what could be so bad that you would want to end it all??
nothing in life is impossible.. all it takes is will..
you can will almost anything to happen in your life..
your have 2 bff's someppl dont even have 1..
and it is definintly NOT normal to want to kill youself..
your 16 you should be thinking about how to grab life by the balls and making it give you want you want..
Trust me there's better things to come, 16 is rarely a good time for a anyone. I would suggest you make an appointment with a family practitioner if you can, just tell them how down you feel about everything, they could prescribe some anti-depressants, but they take months to kick in and are not a magic cure. But they might also recommend some support groups. Maybe someone to just talk to or someone to help you with school.
You have to ask yourself what it is that you most want to focus on first. If you think you just want to talk to someone, then call a hotline. Do you keep a diary?? That could help you focus your feelings. I've been down before like that too. these are things that help me. E-mail me if you just want to vent about something or communicate with someone. I won't judge.
You really need to see a doctor right away. Thoughts of suicide are extremely alarming and very serious. Look for the help you need and embrace it so you can start to experience and love life again. I've been through bad depressions a number of times, I will for the rest of my life, but the next one is never as bad as the previous one. The support is out there to help you, please just hold on until you can get to it. I promise that it does get better, but you need help. Depression is a real illness and like any illness needs help to be overcome. Please reach out to your parents and please just hold on. Tell that crappy critical side of your conscious self (the one that never says anything nice) to shut up and get the help you need.
I wish you all the very best, please take care of yourself.
listen to some songs and think about the lyrics and connect them to your own life . i can even recommend some:
U2
Miracle Drug
R.E.M.
Everybody Hurts
Oasis
Stop Cryin' Your Heart Out
P.S. also listen to norcaljohnny, it IS satan. try just picturing all of these bad thoughts and this darkness leaving your body
What happened in the 8th grade?
I have more questions than answers for you.
Wait...what is your question?
Advice: Limit television, eat healthier (eat salmon), listen to good music, compliment people, travel outside your comfort zone, take walks.
The key is to help other people.
The thought of taking your own life is just a feeling...It's a "selfish thought". By helping others it should reverse those feelings. Somebody needs you! Remember that.
Avoid drugs at all costs, the relief will be temporary followed by more depression.
If you actually start to "plan" on taking your life, you should seek medical help.
Forgive.
Forgive
Forgive.
Good luck!
