   This kind of confidence is not what you really need. Where there is life there is hope. May I suggest that you badly need help and that there are hot-lines and psychiatrists available who are willing to help you, if you would but try.
   Even you question shows that you have some hope in getting cured. If you were really suicidal there would be no need to ask.

   Killing one´s self really isn´t going to resolve one´s problems, in fact it may very well create more. Firstly, the emotional scars left on those left behind may never disappear.Secondly, if an afterlife exists it is commonly supposed that suicides are shunned by everyone as they have rejected the gift of life and the chance to progress. Thirdly, life can be very beautiful if you appreciate it properly. I believe that it was Lord Tennyson who wrote;
   Two men looked out of prison bars
   One saw the mud, the other the stars
   Get yourself involved in a project to help others and you will soon see a change. Good luck.

   I used to think about suicide when I was a teenager also. I didn’t do it. I survived my ordeal with my emotions to go on and have sex with so many women I can’t remember how many. The point is, those women wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the pleasure I gave em if I had gone through with my teenage folly. It’s selfish to deny all those women the pleasure you’re gonna give em.

   It’s hard to gain confidence to do an act that completely goes against the natural will to survive.

   Okay.
   Killing yourself is not the answer.
   I am also 15 nearly 16, i am suffering from depression, self harm, low confidence, no self esteem and anxiety.
   And I have thought about suicide many many times, and that is the way.
   I am also a wussy and haven’t got enough guts to do it myself, but think about the many people that will miss you.
   If you go to people for help or talk to them, they will then feel like they have failed you.
   If you plan to jump of a bridge the car that hits you, think about the driver.
   If you plan to over-dose think about the people who are to find you.
   Do you see a counselor or anybody to help you?
   I have my first proper councelling meeting tomorrow, and just asking for that help, opens a whole new door for you.
   Does your family know, your best friends or in fact a teacher you trust?
   Because I first told my teacher i trust and things went from there.
   What is forcing you to feel like this?
   Do you get bullied?
   If you ever ever ever need anybody to talk to, message me or send me nd email on;

   I’m 15 too and there are people around me who feel similarly.
   Do you feel at the moment like there’s no way out of this depression and no hope for a future? If you’re depressed then it’s not surprising if you do feel this way, BUT the thing is, there are soooo many people who are like this at one point in their lives. But they only have to want to feel better to have the motivation to seek help (which is true for you too, assuming you would rather live happily than not live at all. You do want to get better, I’m sure). I really really think you should get counselling and sort out your issues now; that way you can get on with your future like so many others have, proving it’s possible. If they did it–and no doubt many were just as depressed/more so than you–, then why can’t you?
   You won’t find a person on here who will give you advice on how to end your life. You know why? Because as humans we care for people and WANT to help. Does knowing that even us strangers can really care give you any hope? Hopefully it does. There are so many people out there who will be willing to help you, and I hope that thought gives you a little optimism to consider; it’s not all bad.
   So instead of refusing to believe that things can get better–and if you really think this then you’re in denial, because no matter how much you say/think this, it doesn’t make it TRUE. Or if you really believe so, then sorry, but you’re wrong, no one’s a lost cause–, make a decision to turn your life around. If what you’ve faced is in the past, then you don’t have to dwell on it any longer. But I’m not sure what it is that’s upset you in life, so it’s hard to give more advice than that.
   Feel free to email me, like I said there are loads of us out here who just want to help =]

   FIRST……..please try and stop thinking about killing yourself – I know right now you might feel like there’s no other way out, but there is ALWAYS a way out. So I hope that you will read my message here and find some comfort in what I say. Whether there is a particular reason for you constantly feeling depressed at the moment or not, you will not always feel like this!!!! So please try to tell yourself that!
   I am not going to answer your question as you have asked for answers – how you can get confidence in ending your life, rather to offer you assistance with what you’re going through right now if I can, and to seek to find you the help that you need to, in order to make things better!
   I think that a lot of people do say that killing yourself is a cowards way out but I myself don’t believe that at all…….I think it takes lots of guts to do that, and I am a real wimp myself and would never myself have the guts to be able to do it. I also promised my dad that no matter how bad things got, that i would never committ suicide and so even when I contemplate it now, what I promised my dad plays back in my head and I take a big deep breath and reaffirm that promise to him and to myself too.
   I understand about depression as I have recently been diagnosed with it, and also about the self harm as I am guilty of that too. I don’t understand though how you feel that the rest of the world hates you…….I don’t hate you and last time I checked I was here on planet earth, so the statement you made there is not true. Your arms don’t hate you either – they may not be happy with what you’re doing to them, but they don’t hate you either!!!
   I’m going to add some more but I’m posting this now so it doesn’t end up too far down the list, and that you also know I am here for you!
   Well, you are only 15, and I remember what that was like….hormones pulling you in different directions, not yet an adult but not a child either, pressure with school exams, pressure from so called friends to drink,smoke,have sex etc….things which you may not feel ready for, not knowing whether you were coming or going, exploring the meaning of life, your brain working overtime trying to make sense of the thoughts rushing through your head. You have a lot on your plate dealing with that alone.
   Does anyone know you self harm, a trusted friend or family member? A teacher perhaps? Or your doctor?
   I don’t know whether you are in the UK or not but if you are feeling suicidal, one place you can go to is the A&E or casualty department at hospital, call your doctors surgery and you should be transferred to the out of hours service and tell someone there how you feel, or call childline on 0800 1111. If you are outside of the UK then I do apologise but I’m not sure what services are available to you. I hope that the links below do offer some advice / support to you, and if you would lilke to talk with me further I’m more than happy for you to do so, you can contact me via my profile from this website and I promise to reply to you.
   Please take care of yourself!
