Everything is my fault.

[Unregistered]

So i'm in high school and my grades are not too good. My parents are divorced but are constantly fighting about every little thing possible. My mom blames it on my dad. My dad blames it on my mom. My 8 year old brother is the favorite. I am 16 and i cannot handle all this stress. My dad wants me to be in everything at school. Im not like him, i dont like everything he does or did. He doesnt let me live my life and back off while i try to figure my life out myself. I really cant take it anymore. I have been in this depressed state for this whole year or so. There is so much more but Im too lazy to say it all.

Thank you for contacting the National Runaway Switchboard during this difficult time. It sounds like you are under a lot of stress right now and hopefully we will be able to provide you with some resources to help you out.

From what you said, it sounds like your dad is trying to involve you in things that you aren’t interested in. What sorts of things does he say to you? How is your relationship with your mom?

You said that you’ve been in a depressed state for an entire year; that must be difficult for you. Have you told anyone else how you are feeling? If so, what have they said?

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if you would like to call us; our number is 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929). You can also contact the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). If you would like some local resources, please call us and we’ll be able to give you those numbers; we can also help you make calls to them to see what services they would be able to offer you.

We look forward to hearing from you!
