Life Stories

[6 FEB 2006]

I've been having home trouble and boyfriend problems. My parents only pay attention to my brother who's older and the favorite. My boyfriend broke up with me for someone else a few weeks ago. I was sad and had feelings of suicide. My friends love me, but I get more miserable every day. I've been reading your website and have been talking to my best friend for help. She listens to me and I'm working through my problem. I'm afraid to talk to my mom, but I plan to.

Thanks for sharing information on your website. I now know that I need to get help for what I'm feeling. It could be depression that I'm dealing with. I have a great school counselor that I'm going to talk to. Maybe that will give me get the courage I need to bring up my problems to my parents. I really want help get through these sad feelings and be happy. I know suicide is not the answer.
