If reasoning with your parents is out of the question, then for your own good, you need to find a new place to stay while you finish school. Perhaps a relative?

I have very few living relatives, those that I do are either miles and miles away or out of the country completely.

Then there are only two solutions. You can either work and go to night school, until university (if you intend to go).

Or you can endure it for two more years, until you are 18.

I’m sorry but there are few other options. If you feel unable to continue, then it may be worth looking to the state for help. They may have options for you, but its doubtful.

Okay, thanks for your help.

It seems that you’re in a very difficult situation right now, and no one is listening to what you have to say. Your parents should be the people that you can go to talk about what’s troubling you, but you don’t have that luxury. I can’t begin to imagine how hard things are for you.

However, there are a few things I want to add which I feel might give you a bit of insight into things that are going on for you right now. First, as horrible as things are now, you -need- to realise that things are not going to be like this forever. They’re simply not. You’ll move out one day, you’ll get a job, perhaps even a family. While it can sometimes be so easy to get bogged down into the ‘now’ of it all — which can often be all too horrid — I often find that looking at what I’ll be getting to can make a nightmarish situation a less-frightening and debilitating one. Looking for that end goal, whatever it is for you, can really empower you when you’re at your lowest.

I would also like to add the self-harm and thoughts of suicide. PLEASE do not misinterpret this, but self-harm and suicidal thinking is not normal (and I’m not saying you are a ‘freak’ or ‘weirdo’, but that self-destructive behaviour and thinking is not cohesive to life!). As such, I would truly like to urge you to go and see your doctor at your earliest opportunity. Failing that, talk to the teacher you trust the most or, if you have one, your school nurse. What’s going on for you right now is not right. It simply isn’t. Everyone, at some time or another, needs someone to help get them through their rough patch. This seems to be an incredibly rough patch, so *please* seek consultation with your doctor or conversation with a teacher or nurse. If your school has a counsellor, it might be an idea to see if you can have a chat with them. You need to take care of yourself.

Be strong and look out for your butt, you’re the only one that will!

Hi. My name is Ash. Im sorry to here what you are going through… i can kinda understand becasue im going through the same but im only 15. my parents are not very sick but are weak. and yh…everyday ive thought of killing myself. everysingle day. well its probably why im talking to you now i just want to escape.

i think its amazing your gonna marry at 18 and have a good life. man… sucide is not the way. becasue u can escape eventually. my scholwork has been affected to and my parents have no condsideration for me or my brother and have an obsession with money. im sorry to here what ur going through but i dont no what to say really. ppl will tell u to go and c the doc and get conselling but i dont think thats what you wanna do- i wouldnt.

my only advise to you is that you have a siblings which u need to luk after and i no every1 will tell u this but ill just say it again because the thought of leaving my little brother in this dark place is unbelievable. its great u wanna marry ur girfriend at 18. it really is. it may be the best decsion of ur life… but just…just take a bit of time to think about it mate yh?

oh yh and hey gud luck with studys. if u are as smart as u say u are then u will do well. and i no its VERY VERY hard to study…. becasue i get constantly sworn at for sitting at my desk studying. my parents where both dropouts and they think its always good to quit education and get a job qucikly. DONT DO IT. becasue trust me… i swear on my life u do a bit of study and when u r older u will get that job you wnt.

hey dont kill urself. u g.f. and ur siblings may miss u. and hey life aint even begun yet… remeber ouve got a future. your parents life is nearly over. but yours has just begun. im sorry if i sound harsh but theres no way to sugar coat it.

hey if u wanna talk email yh? im not the best adviser in the world and u dont even no me but sometimes its beter just talking to a stranger.
