Topic : Troubled Teens

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but oh well... I'm 14 years old and I'm depressed!  First of all, I can't stand my family, especially my sister and brother.  I hate them more than anything in this world.  I had no idea I could have SO much hate for two people. My sister.. she gets on my every damn nerve. I can't stand her, I even called the police on her, she hits me like Im some toy!  When she moves out, it'll probably be the happiest day of my life. And my brother... I don't even know where to start. We used to get along but then he completely changed.  He yelled, cussed, hit my mom and everyone else in the family.  On my dad's birthday, my sister and brother got into a fight and my brother suddenly just snapped, he kept threatening to commit suicide.  My sister had to hold him and calm him down.  While my brother was having his "breakdown" he kept saying how all his friends ditched him and they all make fun of him and throw stuff at him during lunch. Well, even though I didn't care for my brother anymore I wasn't going to let him kill himself, so I tried calming him down, well that surely didn't work so I called my mom from work.. when she got home she yelled at me like it was my fault and pushed me out of the way. Well he finally calmed down and three days later he was hanging out with his "friends" that apparently ditched him and made him want to commit suicide! I seriously could not believe him. When he was having his little "meltdown" I was SO tempted to tell him how my ex-best friend ditched me too and that I've been depressed for years. He lied about everything! First of all, my high school does not serve lunch to students who get out at 12:19pm and my brother gets out of school at 12:19 everyday, so of course he lied about his friends throwing food at him during lunch! He also said he beat up some seniors at the tennis court with some of his friends.. please! He actually admitted he lied about that when we were in the car. All that was back in December of '06 and now.. he's fine.. and I'm not. Ever since that time, he acts like he's the perfect child, every time I disagree with my parents he gets mad at me. Every time I get mad, he tells me to stop giving attitude .. I'm sick of him! I'm not allowed to show any emotion other than HAPPY! YAY! around him. Ugh! Anyway my parents.. well my mom, she's hot and cold with me.   She gets on my nerves 95% of the time but so does the rest of my family! My dad.. ugh! His daily routine is to work all day, get home at ten/eleven, shower, bathroom, watch tv, smoke, drink, eat, smoke, drink, smoke, get drunk, wake me up at 4am on school days, talk to me while I'm trying to figure out what the best way is to tell him to get the heck out of my room so I can get some sleep, cause some chaos, wrecking the house, then goes to bed.  That's pretty much it.  It's a lot I know, I hope no one passed out from reading this, but I really needed to vent.. I just don't know anymore! I hate always getting mad and getting suicidal thoughts stuck in my head!!  I cry myself to sleep every night.  I feel like I have nobody on my side, I've been depressed for too many years, I just want it to end!

I hope someone outt here can help me? I have a 15 year old son who loved life were we used to live and now hates it here.  He had the world by the but he says back in Indiana and now in Arizona he cant seem to adjust to the change.  We are from a small town and he had many friends and of course was a popular kid, football player etc.  We moved to Arizona because his father had back surgery and could not take the weather there anymore.

I tried to let him stay with his grandparents to continue to go to school there but he was just so disrespectful to them they couldnt take it anymore.  dont get me wrong he is not a bad kid he is honor roll and does not do any kind of drugs just outright disrespectful.    now since we moved he cant make friends he cant get along he hates everything including me?  He is not violent but he always says he should have never agreed to move out here and that he wishes he was dead.  I dont know what the deal is here I Just want to help him.  But he hates everything about this place.  I dont even know where to begin?  Please someone help me.

I am a parent of two teens. My daughter is a wonderfully bright fun active 15 year old. Then there is my son. He has recenly (3 weeks ago) decided that he likes living on the street rather than being at home. I can't even begin to explain how I am feeling. Depressed, scared, lonely, desperate, confused, angry, and most of all ALONE. My spouse, I have been with him 10 years but with the last five being very sketchy. He will not even deal with my son, not one bit. My son has broken into his house and stolen from him. I know that is totally unacceptable and that my son should suffer consequences... but to be written off? Thrown away like trash? I just don't think that is right. I don't know where to turn. My son has been diagnosed with general depression. The psychiatrist prescribed medication, when I called them to tell them that my son was going down, they have not returned my calls. The police might go get him and bring him home, but I can't make him stay. Can anyone please tell me what I can do next? I can't just go on with my life as if nothing is wrong. That is what most people are telling me to do. Just sit back, the kid made his choice... To me that is just about the craziest thing I have ever heard. He is sixteen. not 26 or 36. 16. a boy, not a man. This just isn't right. I am going right out of my mind. All I want to do is drink. It is a struggle every day to smile at my daughter and love her. I feel cheated and worn out. Tired. If anyone at all has anything to offer, please please please... write to me.
