I read these messages and it saddens me SO much. I went through horrible times in my life...mainly from 8th to the middle of 9th grade. I was very suicidal and the only thing that kept me from killing myself was my horse. I wasn't the type who was afraid of killing myself...I have scars from starting, but it seemed someone always disrupted me. I finally burst and told someone at the barn (NO ONE besides my parents had even known about it)...it made me realize how much people actually did care for me even though I thought they didn't. I still went through rough times and I can tell you reading something like this wouldn't have changed my view the slightest, but I write it anyway in the hope it could change someone just a little. No matter how you feel there ARE people who care about you! I only had a couple friends, or so I thought...I look back now and can see how many people cared about me and would have done anything for me not to feel so horrible. The best thing you can do for yourself is talk to people about it...don't hide it. I didn't that for 2 years before it got really bad and it only made it worse. You CAN make it through these times and if you want someone to talk to about it, I will lend an open ear... on AIM or AOL you can IM me at MNoelleK or HorseCrazyChick ...you can e-mail me at horsecrazychick@aol.com ... or simply reply here. I know that its hard to trust someone you don't know...but you usually don't feel like talking to someone you know well either because you don't feel like they care...but I have been there and am very willing to help in anyway I can. :)

Good luck to you all...and never give up! Life is worth living no matter how horrible it seems sometimes.
