<tr align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFF"><td align="left" colspan="5" >My brother was suicidal at one point.  He stayed alive, but now he says that if  he'd tried to kill himself, he might have hated it if someone tried to stop him -  -  but with the way his life is now, he says, it would have been good if  someone stopped him.  His life became much, much better than he possibly  could have imagined.  This is the same thing I tell everybody, I hope it helps.   Unfortunately there's not a lot of funding, so if you want serious intervention,  a mental hospital is ONE option.  They lump everybody together and it's really  sad.  But you might get to meet others like you, and be sure to remind staff:  "Um, I came here of my own free will."  1-800-843-5200  keep looking online  for "crisis lines" and "youth crisis lines".  The number I gave you can give you  some numbers, too.  Not everyone is great to talk to, but some are.  Good  luck.</td>

I am brought to tears by the pain that you are trying to convey to us. I want you to know that you are a VERY special person with problems that effect so many. Don't give up....don't ever give up on yourself, you are worth it. There will be a time where all this will seem like a dream and you will have made it past through this tough and terribel time. I send you hugs from 3500 miles away!! It breaks my heart that teachers think you are a slacker, I think people are to quick to judge without knowing the underlying problems. I wish there was a way I could do more, the only thing I can do is pray for you...and I will!!</td>

<tr align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFF"><td align="left" colspan="5" >I've been exactly where you are. I felt numb. I had nothing to live for.  That's when my classmate killed herself. The entire community crumbled.  And I realized that no matter how bad i felt, I am alive. Life is too precious  to give up. Reach out to someone. Anyone. That's what I did. I called my  brother at university and we talked for hours. I knew he didn't fully know  how I felt but I could feel how much he cared about me. And I knew  ending my life would never be the right answer. You are alive and have  the chance to change. Don't try to change others. Change yourself. I  know depression is paralyzing. Reach out as best you can. The only way  out is through. </td>

<tr align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFF"><td align="left" colspan="5" >I too am 15. You are completely right in every way. Honestly, the only single thing that has really kept me from taking my life is not knowing what could have been. Find someone, anyone who you can even attempt to talk it out with. Think of this: what could happen. I do carve words into myself, either by knife or pen. I keep them well hidden, although my friends are the only people who take notice. Take the time and think out your life. I am still working on it, but it has helped in a way. Mystictopaz336@aol.com - this is my email in case you feel the need to talk. </td>
