Its people like this that drive me crazier than I already am everyday. Why can't anyone take a moment to stop and think that maybe the fact that I am a teen ISN'T the reason to why I've almost commited suicide three times or why I picture my death every day, or why i have 14 out of 18 symptoms of depression. Yes, being a teen has its ups and downs, we all get upset here and there..but I hate being put to the side by adults who won't take me seriousley because of my age. If I say I want to kill myself, it's a joke, and if I want to fix things at home I should tell my parents how I feel. Anyone who would say that to me probably hasnt been coming home to someone like my newly transformed step dad (thx to bipolar disorder and alcohol) or my weak no-backbone mom who cant handle what i'd have to say to her everyday. It's people like this that just make me feel lonelier than I already feel. Why won't they just shut up with their excuses and listen?!
