Do you think it would be easier?

[Emilia7894]

I only have two friends and my family won't let me see them anymore. My mom and dad complain that I don't study enough and that I'm a failure and that I don't deserve to be supported by them.
I'm close to staring down an empty bottle of Aspirin, and my cat and the piano is the only thing holding me back.
I really don't know if I wanna go on anymore...

Hey Fab,

Parents sure can be mean sometimes. It's too bad that kids dont come with instruction manuals.

I would like you to do me a favor, I know you don't know me, but......please do me this one favor;

Think about this one thing; Your life, is just beginning. There are so many wonderful things waiting for you. You are in a tough spot to be sure. And I am not going to kid you and say that it's going to be easy right now. But....you will get past this.

Think about 5 years from now. Where do you want to be in 5 years? Think about the day you get married. Think about when you have your kids. And then think about how much better of a parent you will be than your parents are to you.

Think about the day you buy your first home.

Or when you and your kids go to Disney World.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. And you my friend are in a temporary solution.

Please don't OD on aspirin! That is an ensured way of dying - five days of horrible agony as your organs shut down one by one. There's nothing to reverse the damage. Incredibly painful. You may as well light yourself on fire for all the pain it brings.

life does get better. Living with your parents suck. But once you leave it gets a lot easier. Please don't give up.

hey...your method is not a good idea whatsoever. for starters.

and, as jameslyons posted, life will improve SO MUCH when you leave the nest. however, i DO wish parents would not try to pick their kids relationships. :rolleyes: that is so cruel and counterproductive.

hang in...hug your cat, play the piano, maybe some Bach, for its crunchiness.......and lean on us here at s.f. we will be here for you -

you can find a lot of warm and caring real-life people here. you are not alone.
:console:

Just so that you know
OD with Aspirin will result in burn like pain all over your body
you will feel like you are on fire for a long time (yes more then few days)
So... bad idea...

how old are you? i guess you are still in school?
i bet you didnt experienced much in life yet do you?
stay strong!

You can get past this time and concentrate on what may lie ahead for you. I am not sure there aren't pieces of the story you are not leaving out here. Has something changed recently for your parents to come to this conclusion? As others have mentioned, your chosen method is not where you want to go. Take that option off the table and work toward improving your situation so things get better. :hug:

Try telling them how you feel. If they're pushing you too much, maybe there's a problem. Parents can really conflict on your life. Sure glad I turned 18.
