Hey sweety. Hmm I dont know if you can post here if you are 13. I didnt see anything in the Terms of Service saying that you had to be a certain age to post here so Ill take that risk.

Anyhow PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont hurt yourself!!! These are some places and people I think who can help you..

- medical/family doctor

- school counsellor

- Therapist (you can probably find one in the phone book or through recommendation from doctor or someone else)

- Friend

- Parents? Family?

Since you are 13, youre parents may have to go with you to the doctor (but Im not sure). Hopefully you are allowed to post here, and in that case please continue to post and let out your feelings. I also suggest a journal.

I was suicidal once and Im glad that Im still here. I know you can do it too and hang on ok. Im so glad that you reached out. Take care HUGS

I hope you do try the others' suggestions of talking with family or counselors at school. Whatever has happened to you to make you feel this way, just remember: you are not alone, ever. We on this board can be here for you, share with you our feelings too. You can always talk with us. Do get someone to help you locally though, we can't hold hands on the internet.
