    Hey hun.
    I'm in the same exact situation you are in now. You need to tell your parents that this stuff is real and not fake and that you're not doing it for attention.
    It's crucial that your parents understand that you are not fine at the moment. This is serious.
    If you ever need to talk, I'm here <3

    I know my parents care and their trying to help and i respect that so much. I cant go for professional or outside help because in this country something like that would require your parents help. With that said i didnt mean to delete your comment last time.... I accidently deleted the comment and couldnt remember your user name.. Was gonna tell you and apologize.

    Suicidal thoughts and depression can hit people of any age at any level of maturity, and they are a serious matter.

    That said, many parents refuse to believe that their children are going through these things and having these thoughts, because it's just too difficult for them to accept that something is wrong, and that they might have screwed up at some point.

    I wouldn't advise seeing a school counsellor even if you weren't home schooled, but seeing as how you are, perhaps you could see outside help from an actual professional. Besides that, there are likely to be many helplines you can call to seek advice and counselling on this matter.

    So, that said, are you going to call me unreasonable and delete my comment again, like you did the last time I tried to offer you something valid?

    You aren't being stupid=) suicide is a serious thing and maybe the rents just find it hard to believe that their baby's going through it. I mean one of my cl0se family members would talk about jumping in the pool and drowning themselves or just how easy it is to just cut their wrists and we didn't believe her and we thought she was joking but then she really did try it and it was a shocker and a half.
    They probably don't want to deal with it because they just can't believe it or something.
    Maybe try outside sources like a neighbour or some cute little old lady and then maybe your parents will really believe that it IS a big issue and that you need all the help that they can give you=)
