Mental Health

[Guest]

I'm 15 years old and I'm feeling very suicidal living at home. I've tried to address the issue with my parents but all they say is that it's not going to effect them. I'm worried about living in an unhealthy environment because I'm constantly being ridiculed, yelled at, and hit. Not to the point where it's child abuse but it doesn't feel too good either. They tell me that I will never be anything. They tell me I'm stupid. My dad has even went as far to say, "F*** you" to me. I want to get away for a while, but I have no place to go. I fear that staying here will result in worse actions than leaving and being on my own.

Hello and thanks for reaching out on our forum. Please know we are not here to judge you recognize how serious feeling very suicidal can be. It sounds like you have reached a breaking point and are concerned with what might happen if you stay at home. You mentioned you have no place to go and while we are not in a position to tell you whether to run or not, we do care about your safety. If we know your city/state, we can try to find local resources. Another place to start is visiting http://nationalsafeplace.org/ to see if there is a nearby Safe Place shelter.

We are sorry to hear you’re worried about living in an unhealthy environment. You deserve to feel loved and supported at home. We are here to listen and provide support to the best of our ability. There is also the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/. We hope you’re able to get to a safe place, both physically and mentally. We wish you the best of luck!
