well trust me i know you dont want to do this…..but you need to talk to your parents.
tell them how you feel, what youre going through, and help them to see that you need them. they might surprise you. i know parents can be extremely stressful, but they can also be the best ones to go to when you need help. so try that first and then go from there.

well keep trying with them definitely.
maybe they dont understand how serious your problems are.
but as far as you home, youre just gonna have to deal.
smoking and drinking-quit if you can. that doesnt make things any better.
then find some good friends for support.
give church a try. i dont know how feel about religious views, but God is ALWAYS gonna help you. if you go to him youd be surprised how much better things would get.

I’ve been there. In fact, my situation was identical to yours at 13. All that I can tell you is that things will improve as you get older. Forget the drugs and drinking and remember your dreams. You can get through this common feeling known as “Teenage angst.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angst

same in my town. i mean i dont do drugs but i live in basically one of the smallest towns there are. i dont know exactly what to tell you…..i know what its like. there is absolutely nothing to do in my town and sometimes i feel like im gonna go crazy!!!
really. and i cant stand to be at home but then when i leave i have nowhere to go!
you just gotta find other ways to occupy your time. find a new hobby, or make new friends, or something. i know its hard. but in small towns theres only so much you can do, just dont develop bad habits for lack of anything else to do. youll regret it later.

Eh, drugs aren’t that much fun, anyways. Read a lot and meet with more people and find someone who is kind and smart to tell you interesting things.

killing yourself would not be exciting. youd die. you certainly wouldnt get any enjoyment out of it. besides you cant look at life that way. yeah youre bored right now, we all go through that stage. youre only 13 though kid, chill out and give life time. trust me, in a few years thingsll change. just dont even consider suicide. things might be boring now, but your whole life is ahead of you, think of all there is to come and make the most of what you do have now.

You absolutely don’t want to get addicted to tobacco or any thing else. I am still chasing that demon off my back. nothing like random headaches, irrational feelings or the desire to beat the nearest person with a bat for walking to loud. ( those were just a few of my post craving irritations)

No idea how to help ya but you are 13 you have a LONG life a head of you. In 5 short years you will be sad because all your friends are moving out and you will have to make new ones. Time is very short, enjoy what you have. and if your going to do the drinking and smoking bit. please wait a few years at least till college. trust me it might feel good at the time. but it is not all that.

its not being afraid of death……its just the fact that suicide is not the answer. whether you think so or not, that would hurt alot of people. besides you were put on this earth for a purpose. when we die, we have forever, eternity, to spend in wherever we end up, but we only get a short time here on earth. i think you should pray. really, and ill be praying for you. trust me,, everyone feels like this at one time or another. but you gotta stay strong. god will direct you if you let him, and im sure hes not ready for you to leave this earth just yet.

Ahh but there might be something your missing in life. True death is not something to be feared but why welcome it so soon.

Like music life is only enjoyed when played. Every musical has its luls and then the 1812 dun dun dun…

but there is nothing so sad as a beautiful song cut so short.
