i love the book. it goes with me everywhere. when im down because of my mother i go and read that, and somehow it makes me feel that i dont have it that bad, that someone had it worse off then me. its an amazing book, my favorite i have ever owned.

Im am also only 14 and already understand how it feels to just want to runaway from it all and die. I suffer from depression and have for a while and have a constant feeling of being alone. Not only do i suffer from this my dad is also depressed and bipolar and constantly on pills and I have to take care of him alone and I am sooo scared of being like him when i get older. I just always feel like everyone leaves me starting with my mom but my twin, best friend, Susie promised she wouldn't and i believe her without her i think i would be dead right now and i have tried to died before but it didnt work. I love what this site is doing because i am starting to get help and however else needs it needs to know about this organization
Thanks!!!!.... Kris

I have not gone through anything like the things that I read on here. And I really do find myself fortunate that I havent. But it just makes me really want to help somebody who has to go through such pain. I have cut myself. And done a lot more self destructing things. But I see that it was really pointless because the reason that I was doign it wasn't half as bad as what other people go through.

I haven't read the book YET, but i'm planning on reading it as soon as I can.
I read all these comments and i'm amazed by all that people have gone through, and the struggles they endure. I haven't had nearly as many bad things happen to me. And yet, I'm still seriously depressed. I used to cut, but I'm trying to stop. I'll pray for all of you and I hope that happiness will soon be coming your way :)

at the ages of aout 11 or 12- 14, I was depressed, severly. This site explains it, I have gotten better since, and is now 16. I promis you all in the shadows there is healing and good treatment out there.

I'm going to go get your book read it and see where it takes me. And if you can or find it in your time to respond to me I would like to ask you the purpose in writing a suicide note if your family doesn't care to read it, and if it will only make your family hate you more. I have nothing to say to my family so I would never write a suicide note they aren't worth my time but my life isn't worth much either so why does it matter whether I live or die.~Kellie~

i have tried to commit suicide twice in my life....all because the people that i most trusted died...the first time was when i was 13 and a person (a stranger) and he became my only friend, when i turned 14 his dad killed him...nothing was proven but i know he did.... i tried it again but stoped my self in time only because i knew that he would not like for me to do that......as time went on i found another friend, i loved him, he loved me...he asked me to marry him..i said yes....two months later he died in a motorcycle accident....
Im 17 and this happened 6 months ago...i been in constant battle with suicide thoughts...but this, TWLOHA gives me hope it gives me stregth....

thanks a lot! you have helped alot in my life

im 15, and the first time i tried to cut was when i was 9. it didnt really start till i was 14. i had just gone through alot and its easier for me to feel physical pain then emotional. at the time my best friend was doing it too. my parents found out, and all they did was ask me to stop and told my friends mom that she was doing it too. her mom didnt believe it though. i stopped for a couple months but then started back again. its like an addiction on bad thing and the blades against my skin. i have urges all the time, but ive recently stopped.. kinda. im going out with someone and promised but its hard, his parents know and it only makes our relationship worse. i havent cut in about 3 weeks. but found out last night that my bestfriend is still doing it. i say them.. going on the way up her arm.. cuts. but she doesnt care anymore, and wont listen to anyone. i want both of us to get help.. but im not sure how without ruining relationships.

I am really depressed and everything in my life is going wrong and I am almost ready to write a suicide letter and half of my friends are mad at me and my parents and the other half of my friends and the school counlser are worried about me and want to help but I won't let them. Than all my teachers and rest of my family members and everyone at my church are worried about me now and want to help me but I won't let them.

I am 15 going on 16 and I have tried to kill my self twice already. The first time was when I was in 8th grade and nothing seemed to be going right. But after that failed I turned to a blade and started to cut when I was 12 and I've tried to stop multiple times and everytime when I actually feel good about myself and feel like I don't need to have my blade I go back to it. In the last month my heart has been broken and beaten, and I feel worthless and like I just cause people problems, I just can't find the light at the end of the tunnal. But I am in a teen group and that helps but i can never really open up in there because of my trust in people has gone down so low I get paranoide really easyly. But now I WANT TO GET BETTER to be normal as my parents put it, to have my freinds back and for them not to have to worry about me 24/7...But I don't know how...
