I’m stuck – what do I do?

Whatever your problem is - there’s always someone who can help. Have a look at the 'talk pages' for useful contact details, the need to know more section, the links on the right and and useful links for web addresses.

Do my parents really care?

YES! But remember parents are human too - there’s no textbook to tell them what to do. They have to make mistakes to learn, just like you. If you really think they’re not there visit 'talk pages' and useful links to find someone who is.

No-one wants me here – what’s the point of being alive?

Suicide is a pretty permanent solution to a temporary problem which WILL get better in the end. You’ll never know if you could have worked it out. You’ll never know if the people you love cry when you die, or screw up their lives because they feel guilty about you. You might not get it right and end up injured for life. Before you hurt yourself – get help.  Have a look at the 'talk pages' and useful links.
