what happens when everyone knocks you down?

I've been pushed past my limit and got scares to prove it.

Suicide is never the answer though. Maybe I'm not the one to be saying this but take it from someone whose been threw alot of that stuff you mentioned.

I've had days where I thought... what'd it matter?

I've actually written suicide notes then cried when I reread them.

When life keeps pushing you around, and you can't seem to get back up, what I have started to do was pull myself up.

Ignore the remarks they give you. Everyonce and awhile you'll get a name called at you, it bothers you but- why care what other people think?

They think they know all this stuff they don't. You know more about youself than they do. You know what you are and what your not no matter what they say believe in what you know.

You have to respect yourself before you can get respect.

I sound a bit like a parent- but I'm really only a teenager... I have gone threw alot of stuff and it hurts.

I've been threw suicidal days, and homocidal days.

Sure its rough but you know when it all fades away its clearer who your REAL friends are.

Pain makes you stronger, if you can fight threw it you can fight threw alot.

Keep pushing threw the down times and get to the good.

I've never murdered anyone, I've never killed myself.

Writting lets emotions go. Even if its not poetry, write a short story about whats going on. Start a little diary type thing.

If you ever need more help, on anything at all feel free to e-mail me.

i have the same type of problem i have been coping with it for years but it all triggered off last week when my aunt came around and obdviously i was the joke... i always got bullied at school and my parents didnt help if i did anything wrong they used to swear and call me a useless *@*/** and told me to grow up, personally i dont blame the bullies at school cos they didnt know what really hurt me like my parents... i think they are the reason for my low confidence my low self image and self respect, everyday waking up and dreading a new day... i understand how you feel but what i do is because i dont want anyone who know me and who probably would make fun of me for like my parents reading my thoughts or feelings i dont write on paper i write on this website, i dont care whether people read it or not because they dont know me or where i live and ive found that people on this website have been through the same as everyone else thats why we are here.

one question though people commit suicide because they feel they have no reason to live, why is this? its because people put them down so much that they want to die.... so really its not suicide is it... its murder and everyone who has put you down is to blame. because people who put you down rarely give time up to raise your spirits

There will always be people who will hate you for no freakin good reason in life. What you need to do, is see if you have done anything to bring on this treatment, and if you honestly haven't, then you know it is not your fault.
Honestly those people are probably going through a difficult time, and when that is the case, a lot of people want to try to make themselves feel bigger by making others feel small. Also, the quote is true, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent!"
Some distance from these people might do you some good, until you can get back on your feet again. Something that I found helpful was to prove them wrong. I put a lot of my efforts into accomplishing things, and kind of shoved it into their face. Disproving an insult is a brilliant way of making it meaningless, and it builds your confidence at the same time. If some of the things they say have some marit, then just be luck that you know where to improve, and go for it. A lot of times our mistakes and flaws aren't aways easy to see by ourselves.
Also, in a different POV, perhaps you are being too paranoided about it, and it really isn't that bad? I am not necessarily saying you are, but it is something for you to consider. Maybe you are over reading into their comments, and hurting yourself by playing them over and over in your head.
Anyway, some food for thought. No matter which senerio fits you, suicide is not the answer. Suicide is the ultimate surrender and is basically another way of telling everyone that they were right about you, proving that you weren't of much worth, because you felt worthless yourself. Suicide is a end, not a solution, there is no going back. It is final, and stupid. I've tried before, and, I was luck that I made it out alive. It took me a long time to see how stupid I was, you might not get as lucky as I did.
Basically, you need to evaluate the situation you are in, see what is really going on, and then deal with that. Do the evanuating when you have a clear head, or it will be worthless. Good luck.

Believe it or not, the easiest thing to do is to get up and stand tall. it is so hard to not be affected by what people say, but it is YOU who matters. And the more often you get knocked down without getting up, the harder it becomes to stand. Make a point of believing in yourself and you abilities, soon others will see the good in you and you will continue to stand tall with them holding you up as your support..
