Hi Rebecca
I'm glad you wrote in. Although it's "normal" for many teenagers to be depressed and think about suicide, it's very dangerous and indicates that there is something seriously wrong. First of all, I want you to get help - that is the most important thing. I've been where you are, and I know how hard it is to see beyond your own feelings right now, but try to see that you are worthwhile, and that there are many people who want to help you. We're not talking about being taken to a "crazy house", and feeling this way doesn't make you a freak. What will help the most is having someone to talk to. Someplace to start would be something like the National Suicide Hotline 1-800-SUICIDE or the Girls and Boys Town National Hotline (1-800-448-3000); you can also talk to your pediatrician, your teacher, your school counselor; even your parents. But whatever you do, talk to someone, as many someones as you can.
