it sounds like you are really hurting and in need of support.
It
sounds like you are feeling very alone because others are not getting how bad
you are really feeling. Sometimes people need to be told
exactly what you are feeling so they understand completely. They
may not know even if you have given hints. We want to
encourage you to find an adult in your life and sit down with them and let them
know you are thinking about suicide. Use these exact words, do not say you feel bad or that you are having a rough day, tell them directly "I am feeling suicidal and I need help".</span></p>

</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:16px;color:rgb(63, 63, 63);"><span>If you would like, you can call and talk to one of our counselors about this. You would be taken seriously and they would look for ways to help you. It
could be that they would help you to find a therapist or that they would work with you to develop coping skills to work through the emotions that you are feeling; they would work at finding ways to help you heal and options
to make your life better. It is hard to believe there is a light
coming to give you hope when you feel so sad and in a dark place. That is why expressing yourself to us, to a family member, school counselor or
anyone you trust is so important. You're worth it and we know that
once you get more support your sadness will begin to become smaller and smaller
and you will feel what hope and happiness is like and you won’t want it any
other way.</span><br></p>
