i need help.?
i have had suicidal thoughts for over a year now. i have a decent life, i have freinds, i am an average to above average student. I am a student athlete and dont know why these thoughts come to me. My family life is decent i love my mom to death and can talk to her about most things, my dad on the other hand only cares about my wrestling and thats all i ever talk about with him. i have a hatred for my dad beacuse i feel as though he uses me through wrestling and he forces me to go to alot of camps and constantly do the sport i care least about. He also made me quit the one sport i loved soccer i still watch it and enjoy it but now i do cross country(purly for wrestling...). the suicidal thoughts have recently been more scary though beacuse i can feel myself giving in to them. i used to be able to put them in the back of my mind.i dont wish to get my mother involved and deffinatly not my dad. my youth leader is the one i would ask for help from. I need free local help. can some one help
by the way i am 16. and do not wish to end my life at all. the thoughts just come.

Hang in there, make the call and congratulations for reaching out for help. You are worth the time, energy and effort it will take to take.
I would like you to reconsider talking with your mother, you two sound like you have a good relationship and I know she will help and support you if asked.
Good luck and remember it will get better.

4. You can Call one of the many suicide help lines. Some are free some are local call charge. 1300-651-251. This is a cost of a local call and its 24/7. I have been where you are now. I have been suicidal for 3 years and even made attempts. Death is not answer to your problems, life is the Answer, Try sitting down and talking to your Father and maybe if you discuss it maturley with him and ask him to lay off with the pressure a little bit that might help bring you closer to your Father. You do need to talk to people, i understand if you dont wanna scare your mom, but do talk to your Youth Leader, you need to know that you can beat these feelings. Im living proof of that. 1800-784-2433. Ok i think that one is free. Dont let these feelings take over you, talk to friends and your youth leader call these numbers and they will help you. Good Luck.
5. Read your question out loud to yourself.........you are giving us the anwser............you don't like what you are doing....talk to someone............sounds like it should be mom.......for the first go round...........play soccer.......that's your love..........don't do it if you don't like it..............man,,,,,,,,kids and dad's love....do your own thing..........and keep loving both parents ...........you don't know how lucky you are..........have a great life..........thanks for asking....hopefully it helps.
6. Well first off if you love you mom tell her you are having these thoughts and you need help . She sounds like a great woman and will be more then willing get you help . You may just need to talk to a therapist about it , it seems like your not happy with the way your dad is taking over your life. So lets address that .
Your going to need moms support on this so talk to her first.
Write down the reasons you are not happy with what you are doing . Tell him how much you love soccer. And you are getting more and more misrable with the way life is .
When you talk to him be very calm . (again with mom by your side or your youth leader) If he yells , screams , be even more calm , make him talk more upset you let yourself get the less control you have . This will make him see how mature you are . Tell him you want to do what makes you happy. If he cant deal with that he should go wrestle himself your you if soccer is your sport he should love that he seems to be the route of your troubles so let him know this.
Remember this is a temporary problem. Death is forever . You cant take it back , and it is selfish. I know you don't want to do that to your mom.
If you need to talk send me an email Ill give you my screen name we can chat.
