Suicide? GET HELP!: I'm sorry you're feeling so discouraged -- it sounds like you've had a lot to deal with. It doesn't appear from the info you've supplied that you've had any treatment for depression, and you don't list this as a medical problem. Yet, it's very possible that this treatable condition could be driving your decision to end your life. Tell your parents and/or your doctors about this, & get help now!
