There's a better answer. I'm 19 and I used to cut myself when I was younger and attempted over-doses. Now, I'm so embarrassed when I notice someone looking at the dark scars on my wrist. I am working in a professional position now, and these scars make people challenge my stability. Don't cut, and don't cut your life short. In some states, it is legal to move out of your home if you are 17 years old. Your parents can't stop you, as long as you can take care of yourself and support yourself then just wait a little bit longer. Nothing is worth taking your life. I've been there...and once you realize that you could die, you regret what you did. There is a great future out there for you, you have to be strong! You can do it, I did.

call 1-800-SUICIDE, if they think you're a danger to yourself they will send an ambulance and have you taken away. but before you do this, you have to make sure you're willing to get help. please don't try to kill yourself. there are so many people who love you.

I';ve been in a similar situation where I was going through depression and self harm when I was young and my nan and grandad were overprotective and I got really angry, and felt ready to explode like yourself. It's a natural reaction, but even though it's frustrating, remember that your mum and dad love you very much, and they just are doing what they think is right to protect you. It's hard for a person to know what to do for their child when their suicidal and self harming, they want to protect them and that makes them overly protective naturally. However I'm not happy that she isn't letting you go to a counsellor, that isn't right at all because I think that's exactly what you need. Please don't end your life though, as hard as it all seems now for you, believe me it can be overcome and you can live a normal happy life x Theres a lot to live for, and please for me don't, even though you don't know me, it saddens me when I hear of young people committing suicide xx I promise you things can get better. Your 16 now so you can make the decision on your own to see a counsellor. Your mum and dad can't legally stop you from leaving the house and discussing it with your doctor. If they do and they lock you up in anyway then you have to contact social services. You can search your local social service centre and number online but you can also ring childline 08001111 and they can put you through. But before you do that I'd try and sit your mum and dad down, or just your mum and explain to her calmly you need to talk to a counsellor because you can't go on like this. If she refuses then book your appointment with your doctor and just go yourself. If you are stopped in anyway by your parents call social servicess because their breaking the law if they do that to you. Once your seeing a counsellor they will help you sort all your issues out and you will get better. I'm not sure how your parents are generally but if they harm you in anyway, call social services, the police and just know at 16 you can get emancipated from your parents :) xx I wish you all the luck in the world. Just know you have someone here who is supporting you xx
