What really worries me is so many Teens consider suicide to deal with their problems. If you even entertain such a notion then you are also dealing with a severe form of depression, which was most likely brought on by so kind of tramma that you suffered, or you have a chemical imbalence. Either way you need to tell someone! Because these thoughts might not be in your control and being caused by a low chemical in your brain called seratonin and not what you truly want! Although you think this is what you want, I don't think it is. Most people who think of "ending it all" as a soltion, they are not thinking with their right mind, hey, listen, I don't mean for that to sound like I'm being mean here! What I am saying is not thinking in their right mind means they most likely have a low seratonin level and it is not something that will fix itself or just go away, what you a feeling and thinking is coming from a bigger problem then what you think.
