Suicide / Question
Published: December 28, 2006
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I have a problem I think about killing myself a lot because I don't think no one care for me I know they wish I was died and they always calling me stupid but I never heard anyone tell me that they loves me I think it better for me to end my life.

Dear Thinking Alot About Killing Myself,
With how much you have been thinking about suicide, having felt uncared for by others, and stating that you have never heard anyone tell you how much they love you, TeenHealthFX can only imagine how much pain you must be in right now. However, FX wants to stress that we do NOT feel that suicide is the answer here, as we feel very confident that things can get better for you. We are sure that you have wonderful qualities and that you are a lovable person, and we know that there are people out there who are capable of acting in a caring way towards you and who will be able to recognize all of your wonderful attributes and encourage them to grow.
FX thinks that it is very important for you tell someone right away about how you have been feeling. Whether you tell a family member, school staff member, neighbor, or any other trusted adult – it is critical that someone be informed about how you are feeling so that they can intervene on your behalf and set up counseling services to help you deal with all of this. Again, things can get better for you – but please take the next step by reaching out to someone in your area who can directly help you with this.
