Dear\u00a0Kate,<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’m 17 years old young boy and living with my mom. Everyday I’m depressed and frustrated until some of the time I use a razor and cut myself.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My mom constantly curses me and tell me she hates me cause I look like my father too much.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now it’s becoming worse that make me feel to kill myself please help me to get over the frustration.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Depressed<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Dear Depressed,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No matter how much pain you\u2019re experiencing right now, you\u2019re not alone. As a matter of fact, some of the finest, most admired, needed, and talented people have been where you are now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many of us have thought about taking our own lives when we\u2019ve felt overwhelmed by depression and devoid of all hope.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But the pain of depression can be treated and hope can be renewed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No matter what your situation, there are people who need you, places where you can make a difference, and experiences that can remind you that life is worth living.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You need to speak to your mother about what her actions are doing to you. If you feel afraid or embarrassed\u00a0write her a letter. Leave it on her bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If your mother is any good mother at all she will listen to you and find a way to change her behavior\u00a0towards you.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If that doesn’t\u00a0work then speak with your teacher who can refer you to a professional.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0It takes real courage to face death and step back from the brink. You can use that courage to face life, to learn coping skills for overcoming depression, and for finding the strength to keep going.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
