Hey there,

I'm sorry that you're feeling so bad right now. I know from experience that it is a very hard place to be in and it can be very difficult to cope with, especially on your own. It is important that you do know that you're not alone because you certainly aren't - there are many people who are willing to help you cope with how you're feeling right now. I think that it's good that you've tried to talk to people and I'm sorry that your friends reacted this way, that wasn't fair of them and sometimes people just siply don't understand. It's also good that you've tried to talk to your parents, I know that is hard. You say that you don't know how to - perhaps you could write them a letter telling them how you're feeling? That's often a lot easier. It is normal to be afraid of opening up and telling people how you feel because it's not something we do everyday, however, it's worth trying to overcome this fear in able to get help and support. If you really don't feel able to talk to your parents then perhaps talking to a teacher, a school counsellor, religious leader or extracurricular leader would be a good idea. There are so many people who are willing to help you.

In the meantime it might be worth asking yourself if you can identify and reasons as to why you feel this way. Why do you want to die? What is the problem? What are some ways in which you can overcome the problem? It is hard answer those questions and identify other solutions but it is important to know that death isn't going to solve any of these problems and there are a lot safer ways of altering things and making yourself happy. Try doing something for yourself every day - something that you enjoy. That's a beneficial thing to do too, whether it is just watching your favourite TV programme or listening to your favourite music. Take some time for you and enjoy it. Things can and will get better.

Take care of yourself.
