TeenHelp is due to have scheduled server maintenance on Saturday October 16th 2010. The website will be offline intermittently between 7pm and 6am (17th) Eastern Daylight Time. Because this maintenance will unavoidably take place during our normal Facilitated Chat Room Discussion times, this week's discussions will take place on Sunday evening instead (at the same times). We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.

I run into the woods
letting everything go
losing my focus
going out of control

I push on and on
the trees whiz past
the ground is all blurry
im going way too fast

I stop and fall to the ground
as tears streak down my face
my head makes the world spin
there’s no way ill finish this race

Gotta end this right now
it’s a race against time
I gotta make it all stop
under pressure...

I'm invisible everywhere even here. 11 people saw they post i had where I stated clearly that I wanted to die. Only 1 person commented. Does anyone here care that others want to hurt/kill themselves! I once saw a post from someone saying they were going to kill themselves. I was the only one who commented telling them that things can always get better. I can help people easily but it's hard to get help. My boyfriend left and hates me. I'm lonely. My parents don't listen when I try to tell them anything....

I look in the mirror
and I hate what I see
I understand exactly
why no one wants me

You say that I’m pretty
But why do you lie
Say it one more time
I think I might die

I see the attention
you get while we’re out
no one notices me
you’re what it’s all about

Comfortable in my skin
ha it’s just a disguise
There’s nothing to say
that can prove to you guys

You...

Sometimes I close my eyes
and fly away to another place
don’t bother saying goodbyes
where im going no one knows my face

I'll start all over, begin anew
clear the tears from my cheek
theres nothing I wouldn’t do
to stay here week after week

But the sharp pain in my heart
brings me back to what is real
I remember how im falling apart
how nothing can help me heal.

Once again it’s all on me
Not sure how to say sorry
Over and over it happens like this
into the ground I pound my balled fists

Maybe walking alone is best
try not to worry about all the rest
don't ever look behind you
or you know the pain’ll find you

Got me feelin’ so low
but I don’t let it show
just needa get through it
gonna push myself through it

But in case I look behind
in case...

I wanted to post this in the forums but I felt stupid doing it.
I write this with a heavy heart
I'm struggling in school because i've been so sick. I'm always sick in the beginning of the year. And being a freshman with 2 honors classes doesn't help. Its the hardest time of the year for me- The 1 year anniversary of The Court Case. When i dissappeared for 7 months. This time last year, I was living with my emotionally abusive foster mom. All the memories have been flooding...

I need some help guys. I want to got to boarding school but my parents believe that no one else should take over the responsibility of being my "parent". My dad already gave me a firm no even though our school system is jacked up. This school is wonderful. It has this awesome art program that could help me get better with my art skills. How could i get them to let me go that would be something a 12 year old can do?
