I mean the reason multiple people share this thought in this forum should really alarm you. It can always get better for you at that age because you're yet to at least give a shot to an academic and/or professional carreer (plenty of time to study = money = ways to have fun = extra happiness points).
Surely you've been through something rough to be here, we all have. But id kill to be 14 again.
Despite the universe's conspiracy against you, there's always something we all can try... Especially that young. Even with whatever is happening to you. It's true even for me, and I'd say for many people in this forum, with the difference being, we burned out i guess.
The choice is yours naturally but someone had to point this out, many people with shittier lifes than mine for example got way further in life than me.
The ugly truth is that everyone has the strength to punch their way through the hardships unless terminal disease, its just that time eventually makes you weaker (Yeah i just said that in this forum, im not exactly trying to comfort her depressed feelings)
I know i may have gone further than I should with my opinion but honestly I might be suicidal but i don't hate human race enough to watch this quietly
Im sorry if this bothers anyone in any way. Good luck
Thank you, I'm trying my best
It's the dad in me......i just want to look after you and tell you everything will be ok!
I really appreciate it, thank you :)
Life got much better for me as i got older. You are full of teenage hormones. I really believe because of your age there is hope to feel better. Are your parents no good? I will guess you've done the therapy/ counselling?

My mum is currently ill and in hospital and my dad is an addicted to drinking. I have gone to a couple therapists but I have stopped seeing them
This has been on my mind for a couple of days.
It is the first time I actually personally witness, how destructive and dangerous social media can be.
When I was @carys age, there were many times I did not feel alright with myself, my God, this is adolescence and it is a grimly hard time.
But by all effort, I never had the actual means to finish my life, though I often had the wish to simply not exist.
It is revolting and deeply worrying, that there are people on this site, giving tutorials on a child ,how to effectively hang yourself, without having any scruples.
I accept that many of us- including myself- are struggling with some let´s sloppy call it disorder, but there is no excuse at all to assist suicide on a minor.
You rightfully would get a high prison sentence for that, so why do it it under the shelter of an internet site, this is mean.
If there were not people like @Jolene40 ,@Macc Lad, @Soul and others, I would unsubscribe from here straight away and call it a day.
Thank you for your response. What you're saying about adults advising a minor to kill themselves is true. As much as I agree with you, I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I didn't discuss anything about my age at all. At first, I thought no one would really mind that I am a child because this website is pro-choice so I expected everyone to not mind that I am willing to commit suicide. If I told everyone I was age 18 or over, I'm sure people would believe me. If I did say I am an adult and I made a thread like this, I would be given answers on how to hang myself.
some people here like @Macc Lad and @Jolene40 have already started to get into conversation with @carys by offering help and understanding, which I deeply support, others have reacted to the post about "who is the youngest" and informed the admins about @carys .
Unfortunately it is very hard to stop minors to get access to sites like this (same with porn or access to drugs, but that does at least not kill them).
There is always a reason why a young and vulnerable person chooses to go on here and I feel deeply sorry and heartbroken to find her here.
It is a cry for help and understanding.
Wish so much, I could help you @carys .
Maybe all we can do is open up and offer help.

Imo we should at least act responsible, in whatever sense we interprete this.
With my other recent response, I actually didn't think anybody would mind about my answer on the "who is youngest" thread since this website is completely pro-choice. I am quite surprised that there are some here who are expressing support and concern and I do appreciate it, so thank you :) This website pretty much makes me feel less alone, I have been using this place as a coping mechanism for 3 months now and it's somewhere I could resonate with other users in this community
I had no idea the OP is 14 (how does one check that?). Around age 14-15 was the worst time in my life, so I absolutely know how she feels - how you feel, Carys. Things get better, though. I understand that you have reasons to be unhappy right now, but it doesn't seem like you have a reason to rush into suicide. There are so many other things that are worth trying first.
On the "who is youngest" post, I did answer it so presumably, mostly everyone here knows from that. I guess around age 14-15 or years in adolescence, it is when our brain is most sensitive and full of hormones, so who knows? Maybe things would get better, but so far they are just becoming worse. Thank you though, I'll try and hold on to your response
I find a lot of these comments hypocritical, to say the least. There are 8-14 year olds, who have experienced more horrid shit the world has to offer than anyone here has/will ever experience in their life. The thoughtless reactionary platitudes and clichès are patronizing and disrespectful to people you don't have a clue about.
This is the same bullshit pro-lifers tell the suicidal, so they can virtue-signal, and feel good about themselves. If you have the nerve to go through with the final act, whatever the reason, your authenticity speaks for itself.
The ones upset over petty things, or those who want to live, won't have the determination to overcome SI.
I agree with you in some ways and I get where you are coming from, there are plenty of other children around the world who have gone through a whole lot and I assume they wouldn't mind if I was older either. From the others' point of view, I guess it is somewhat understandable that they are expressing concern for a minor planning a suicide. Since most (including those on this website) believe that since children have lived such a short life, they shouldn't commit suicide as things may improve in the future.
I just read your posts
It isn't a competition. I don't think one should iliicit more respect and kudos if they are more suicidal and likely to go through with it than another. And it does seem to me that is actually the case for some people on here. Yes the s.i prob will over ride me at this moment. I don't want to bloody die. Im just desperate to end my suffering and need to be prepped for escape route with the progression of horrific disease. Im the first to say i haven't got the balls to nor can i face it right now today. So what. I doubt many romanticising it are going to proceed in the coming days / weeks either.
I know rescue me platitudes are nauseating and im dishing some out. But, many are crying out for some help and we can't always determine which is which especially with a minor. Its a different ball game with younger ones at that age in particular. Theres hope of change. Its a tumultuous time physiologically.
There are many threads on here with the full details as already pointed out so its not as if anyone is deprived of the knowledge if they are at that point.
You are correct, the amount of one's suffering and pain isn't meant to be a competition. I'll have you know that I'm not like one of those "rescue me platitudes". I was intending to get some advice on how to hang myself because I really do want to die. There are many of my age who do romanticise it (of course there are also those who do struggle with these kind of issues) so it is easy to believe I am romanticising self harm, suicide, depression etc because of my age. I'm not crying out for help nor looking for some kind of attention, I just honestly want to find a way to take myself out.
