Feeling suicidal because of college, help?
First of all I'm very sorry you feel that way. College was the hardest time in my life. The transition can be very frustrating. But it is just that: a transition. Now lets really see it for what it is. I guarantee you that if your parents knew what you were psychologically going through they would be empathetic. Please talk to them. Tell them about your anxiety. It won't be easy but please do it. I've been out of college for a couple years and now I look back at that time as the hard times that built character and made me realize that if I could power through that, I could get through anything. Life doesn't get easier. You just become better at handling the stresses. Talk to your folks and talk to a counselor. It will save your life. Try not to think about your problems as one big lump of crap. I promise you that if you write down everything you are struggling with and organize it into categories it will put things in perspective. What you are doing now is thinking about one problem and before you get a chance to think it through you start thinking about another one. This creates a lot of anxiety. I know because I've dealt with it. Write them ALL down and take care of some easy ones just to get the ball rolling. You are in a funk and its time you get yourself out. Nobody is going to do it for you but understand that we are all capable of overcoming these fears. You are equipped to succeed. This is your life were talking about. Your life and your soul. It's your decision how to solve everything but I promise if you make that list, just start taking care of a few things, and understand that everything on that list does not control you things will get better. Feel free to talk about it because a few words of encouragement can go a long way. You are stronger than you think.
Crying and suicidal because of school...?
Your grades are NOT a measure of how intelligent you are. Not at all. They are a measure of your ability to memorize and regurgitate information. That is all. Having a difficult time focusing does not make you stupid, or inferior in any way. Everyone has their struggles in some aspect of their lives, and that is your's. I completely and totally understand how you feel. I have the exact same problem. I always have. I used to miss all of my recesses when I was a kid to make up work I couldn't finish because I couldn't concentrate. It would take me literally hours to complete simple homework assignments simply because I could not focus my mind on what I was doing. It was torture. All throughout school, my grades were mediocre at best. It was very discouraging, especially in an environment that treats students with difficulties like they're stupid. And when they are acting like if you don't go to college and have your whole life figured out by the time your 18 that you'll be a cashier at the local grocery store for the rest of your life and will be a failure. Take a deep breath. Know that your grades are not a reflection of your intelligence or worth as a person. Know that you have plenty of time to figure everything out, and despite what you've been told all your life, you don't have to know today what your future career is going to be. You have options. You WILL be ok.

I want to commit suicide because of school stress?
To be completely honest, high school is just a system to figure out what you are and aren't good at. Math is your worst subject. That is nothing to be worried about. You are defiantly not a failing student. In fact, math is a subject where you get it or you don't. I was the same way. I got A's B's and C's in all my other classes but failed Algebra, Algebra 2 and Geometry. My GPA was horrible because of this. I then got into Central Michigan University and got extra help in math. I then became decent at it and started to enjoy the class. Math is something some people just aren't good at. This doesn't make you dumb or anything. If you are patient about becoming an FBI agent, then you need to go for it. It isn't a field that requires math so don't get so hard on yourself about it. If you want to go to a community college your first and second year, that is actually very smart. It might even benefit you too! If your getting a 2.0 GPA in high school, and you go to a community college and get a 3.0, you can then apply to a university and they will only look at your college GPA since your a transfer student. I was the same way as you man, i got depressed because of grades and thought i was dumb. But there are other things i am good at that i found out after i got to college. So don't take everything so serious when your in high school. To tell you the truth, High School is a joke. If you want to go to college, you can go to college . It doesn't matter what your grades are. Community colleges accept anyone. The future is looking like that anyway with our economy. More colleges are just looking for money and not grades. But just relax, and keep working hard at math and it will come to you.
Autistic daughter suicidal over bullying in school?
My daughter is 10 years old and autistic. She is mainstreamed most of the day, and has had problems with bullying for 2 years. I've been trying to work with her teachers, but she has continued to be frustrated by comments and actions of her peers. Last week, she told me more than once that she wanted to kill herself, she's tired of the kids at school. I notified her special needs teacher and the school counselor, and the teacher told me they are just going to tell her that if kids are bullying her that she can tell them. But I feel like she doesn't feel safe to do that every time. I feel like they're failing her. She used to be in a self-contained classroom most of the day, and she really liked it. Now we're in a school district that doesn't have this at all. Can I simply switch school districts? If I feel like this school doesn't have what she needs, what kind of rights to I have? Can I just switch her back to self contained without another IEP meeting?
I feel like committing suicide. I'm not doing well in high school and life. What should I do?
Hello, I really don't know what you're going through, but whatever it is , I know it's tough. But believe me it's completely okay to be imperfect ! Try to figure out the reason of why actually you are scoring less ! There might be distractions, peer pressure, or discouragement ? If not, there is high chance that student tend to score less, when they study what they don't want to ! It has happened to me, or I should say it is happening to me ! But that's okay. You have the chance even now. Pursue the higher degree in which you're interested and not what your parents want to to become. You need to get selfish sometimes ! And see, another thing, try to take it from parents perspective. They've always wanted you to excel, and that's the reason they're are pressurizing you so much. The way it is coming out is absolutely wrong, but the cause behind is very much acceptable. Try sitting with your parents, Sharing your point of view ! Try talking to them, after all they are your parents , they'd never want you to suffer ! And just by the way, why do you think of committing suicide ? See, it's something you need to gather a lot of bravery and then proceed ! So if you're brave enough to hang over the ceiling ! or brave enough to cut your wrist, or take those 'instant-death' med , you are definitely brave enough to tackle this situation. Try to live your life , you have lots and lots of surprises awaiting for you. Go grab them. Life will put you down, but trust me, a time will come when you'll rethink and say, it's all worth it ! You have to believe in yourself and above all God . He loves you ! Amen . Cheer up buddy :)
I'm returning back to high school after a suicide attempt. Can you please give me some advice on going back because I'm scared?
I’m so sorry that you had to do what you did.Try to find someone you can confide in, whether it’s a classmate, teacher, counsellor, or family member. Reach out for help when you feel like you can’t make it alone or need a break.Try not too care too much what others say about or to you. Trust yourself, and trust that you are important and worth feeling happy.If you are an extrovert, join clubs that interest you, and surround yourself with positive energy. If you are an introvert, give yourself lots of space. Learn to play the ukelele, learn another language, write journals, or cook. Do things that sooth you, and make you feel accomplished.Take it slow. Record what makes you feel loved, happy, or confident, each time it happens.Allow yourself to feel down and dejected when you do, because life happens, but try not to let it drag on. Close the chapter when it is over.It will be scary, but you’re going to rock it. Take it one day at a time. You can write to me with your frustrations and anxiety, or happy thoughts and general observations.Remember that you are wonderful, and that there are times that you may fall down, but pick yourself up and keep going and everything will be okay.A big hug from me! You will be okay. You’ll do great.(Edited for spelling - my thumbs are large and my phone screen is small!)
Is it okay to commit suicide over poor performance in school?
I'm not going to say that it's okay to kill yourself over poor performance in school, because it's not, but I will say that I can understand feeling suicidal over poor performance in school.I often find myself in that very place, and at this point I'm pretty sure I'd end it if I lost my 4.0 GPA because that's one of the very last things keeping me alive. I know it's messed up, but it's where I get my value. It's the one thing I have control over in my life, and if that goes wrong, I'm done for.Somewhere in my rational mind though, I know that no grade, no assessment, no accolade is worth dying for. I want you to know that. I need you to know that. There's so much more to life than academics, so much better out there. So many definitions of success, so much good that can be done regardless of the letters inked onto your report card. There are lives to save, hands to hold, people to love. And there's no minimum GPA for that.
