Hi, I just read your posting cause I am a mom who is going thru some rough stuff with my own child, who just turned 14 three days ago.  I have suffered from depression since I was about your age and now my own daughter is at risk and seems to be starting the symptoms too.  I wanted you to know that if you need someone who will not judge you and who can see things from your point and the older perspective as well, I can be there for you.  I do understand feeling absolutely low and like there's only one solution.  But if you can weather that storm, I want you to know it will get better.  It will.  There are some options for you to help yourself without harming yourself, and I would love for you to contact me if you need someone to chat with.  Why don't you reply to this and we can chat online or just keep in touch here.  My own child has troubles too and you might be able to help her or maybe she could help you.  Please think about it.  Hang in there kiddo!
