Hello my name is Riley and i have just turned 13 years old.
I have no friends, i get bullied at school, i fail miserably in everything that i try and there are allot of other things going on in my life that i could not even begin to describe.
Anyway ill get straight to the point, with everything going on i cant help but feel depressed everyday, in fact, i haven't felt even slightly happy in about a month when it was my birthday. I have seen things on the news about teenagers k=killing themselves to escape from their problems, and lately i have been getting the same idea, as far as i can see there is no way to escape these problems, and there is nobody to talk to, my school phycologist is nice, but the first appointment i had with her she said this:
"there is only one rule here, and that is that if you tell me that you are having thoughts of self mutilation in any form, i am obliged to inform your parents" (not her exact words) so i really have no where to run, i cant tell my mum because she will make a big deal out of it.
I need some advise.

Hello, Riley!

Life can be so hard when you are so young. I know exactly where you are coming from as far as dealing with people in school. Going to school can be a real challenge to anybody at any age. It is almost like another city or world in itself with no police to take charge!

When I was your age, I had zits all over my face and people really made fun of me! It made me mad. I was called "pizza face" over and over by a girl that I kinda liked. She made me feel like I was really ugly. I got through it somehow. Many of us face the same problems.

Nothing is worth killing yourself. Going through the tough times are the things that help to make you stronger as a person to prepare you for the adult world. It's something that everyone goes through. It is a part of life.

You do have someone who you can talk to face to face. And, that would be your mum. I would suggest talking to her soon. And, what if she makes a big deal about it? So what? If she didn't make a big deal about it, then that would be like she didn't care. Do you know what I mean?

Please talk to her.

talk to your parents, talk to your school counselor, talk to a teacher do something now.

Cutting and other multilation or things like that are a big deal and needs to be looked at. That is why they let you know that if that is happening, they need your parents to be part of you getting professional help. And you know it is, that is why you are looking for help. It may make things fool your mind and appear better for a few minutes, but it is not, it merely causes more and more problems in the long run of things.

so advice, sit down and talk to your mom or dad which ever you can talk to best. I will give you some numbers of people who you can talk to without giving your identiy also that can help you.

Okay i think i need to make the situation a little more clear, i have been down a simerlar thought path before, when i was 10 i was having trouble with bullies and my teacher was being a complete and to top it off i was having trouble with my of a dad, and i told my mum. after i told her she spent ALOT of money on counceling, that was okay then bacause then we werent in a time of finansual crisis but this year we have some seriouse debt, and we really cant afford to pay three thousand dollers.

And you don't have to, there are at least in the US, couseling avaiable based on income. Plus beleve me, a parent would be glad to spend the money on their child and not worry about paying other bills.

And you are already making that first most importatant step, you know you have a problem, that is really and honestly about 1/2 the battle.
And you can tell how much your mom loves and care, sounds like the type of mom that would want you to be able to talk to her about your problems
