Suicidal thoughts: Okay, you're embarrassed. Does this mean you won't at least talk with a parent or a friend? You can also call a 24 hour lifeline at: 1-800-273-talk (8255). This is for tonight if you want it. Longer term, there are psychiatrists and psychologists who work with 17 year olds like you -- and who understand the kind of pain you might be feeling. Please consider working with one. Peace.

Confidential Help: Please don't let embarrassment stop you from talking to someone. Thoughts of suicide are more common than people think, especially during teen years when the world can seem impossible & hopeless. There are national suicide hotlines available, for example: http://suicidehotlines.Com/national.Html [800-784-2433 / 800-273-8255]. Please call someone and get your questions answered. Your life matters!
