Please don't do anything drastic. Life is really short. I really don't want to sound condescending, but you may look back at this in a year's time and think - oh yeah, it was hard, but i got over it, look at me now! (What is actually making you feel like this any way? Can someone help? Do you have somewhere to live/someone looking after you? School is important, but there is life after it! You don't need it if it is making you that unhappy. My cousin is high up in British Diplomacy - he didn't get a single certificate at school). Get your priorities right. If someone is pushing you tell them - I'll do what i want to do! I remember feeling like that a few times, but things ALWAYS got better. They always do. We are survivors. We are all the same underneath - we are animals. We have fundamental needs - to be loved, to be sheltered and to eat (and other stuff, but that's boring!). If we can have 2 out of 3 - that isn't bad is it?

Talk to your family doctor, they can recommend and send you to someone who'll be able to better help and understand you're problem. We all have suicidal thoughts when suffering depression, but get help before its gets so bad, (i.e. developing into phycosis) Don't let it get that far, get active, surround yourself with people you love and see professional help. It will get better hun.

Keep smiling :)

You can be helped. Life is too wonderful to throw it away.

Ok, if its of concern to you, which it seems to be since you posted about it, and it probably should be, I would suggest you see if you can find a counselor of some sort to talk to. Even if its just your guidance counselor, they can tell you were to go from there. The scary thing about depression is that it can change rather quickly, and you won't be yourself. You may be able to sit there now and say "well, I'll wait and if it doesn't get worse I'll be fine." but if it does get worse, regardless of what you think now, you may or may not actually go get help when you need it. And just for the record, I know you don't actually know me at all, but if you ever want to talk, I'm around, and I hope this resolves well for you.
