Considering Suicide
I feel like I'm too young for this, but I don't know where to turn.
Me and my boyfriend(who says he wants to marry me and the feeling's mutual) haven't talked to each other at all.  We keep in touch through his cousin who is my best friend, or so I thought.  His ex is also her best friend.  I walk into school one day and the first thing I hear from her is that he's mad at me and thinks I want to break up with him.  I love him too much and wanted to die the first times I lost him.  I don't know what to do.  Got any answers?
Second problem.  Mom and Dad are on the verge of divorce.  I want her to divorce him because he's never there for any of us.  All the evidence she has points to him cheating on her and she doesn't even care.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night crying or hearing my sister or Mom cry.  The only way to end this is through suicide but I feel too scared of everything to do anything at all.  My heart feels empty and broken, from everything around me.
What the freaking heck am I supposed to do?

Good job reaching out for help!  You found the right place.  At Boys Town, we are here 24/7 to help kids with any problems they are having.  It sounds like things have been tough at home and with your relationship with your boyfriend.  No matter what you are going through, suicide is NOT the answer.  Please promise yourself if you have suicidal thoughts again, you will contact us.  We will help you redirect the negative thoughts and consider healthy options.

Who do you have in your life for support?  It is important to have at least one trusted adult who you can share these feelings with.  This may be your mother, grandmother, aunt or favorite teacher.  By chance do you have a counselor?  If not, that might be something to ask your parents about.  A counselor may help your family work on issues that are negatively affecting the entire family.  The counselor could also help you evaluate the situation with your boyfriend. 

Keep in touch.  Remember, the Boys Town Hotline is always here to help!
 
Take Care,
Nikki
