Being young doesn't automatically mean that my life will get better

"You are too young to die"

Tell that to 5 year old me when I tried to die jumping from a bunk bed (yes, it was an stupid attempt but the intention of dying was there) or when I was 15 and failed to die from an overdose. Today I'm 21 and I wish I died many years ago.

Being young doesn't mean things will get better without any input of your own, but it does mean you still have the best of chances to make that change happen.

I am also 21 and I wish I left this world at an earlier age, it would have prevented lots of suffering. I wish I was never born in the first place as then I would not have to deal with this life. For me things will never get better, I know they will get worse over time. This is a very depressing life. Whatever happens, I wish you the best.

I'm sorry, 5 years old? I'm so sorry. I never heard about a child wanting to die at 5. Hope you didn't had any traumatic experiences that led you to that attempt at such a young age. My first was prob also 15 or 16. I hope life gets better for you.

Abusive family that scarred me for life.

At that age the only thing I understood about death was that it occurred after a very strong damage and that I was no longer going to have to be here. That was more than enough for me.

this!!!!! i have been constantly told that I'm too young to die (I'm 20) and I'm like ''so what?''. life will always be shitty no matter age. I've read so many stories on here of much older users saying they regret they didn't do it when they were younger. It never gets better.

On this i have to say that Human Lifetimes are Short. We Need atleast 25 years to gain a sense of self and who WE are. After that your brain Starts ist mostly Set in place with all your behaviour and thought patterns. So would urge you to at least try and get to 25. If you cant get better by this age chances are it will Not get better without significant time and Work Investment. In Hope you find happiness or at least a tolerable Existence but If you choose to ctb IT IS up to you. We can Just Provide comfort and understanding

Well as an older person I can say things have only got worse for me as time moved by. I thought things could improve but everything I ever cared about has gone. Now I am left with the crushing hardships of a bad life and broken dreams. Not saying that things can't improve for everybody cause my life sucks, but you are right, things don't always get better. The gift of life is a fabrication. The box is empty.
