wow good point. the worst part about it is that these people get paid to pop them out. there are 15 year old girls all over london who did it purely for the money. they take the 5 year old kids to mcdonalds every single damn day! can you believe that? worst, though, is that the parent is too young to care, so they just don't actually give a damn if the kid hurts itself, turns to drugs, orwhatever. how do you think these people are gonna see other humans? they've never known love. not ever. all they know is making sure everyone thinks they're hard, and lust. that's it.\n\nand there are entire communities of these people.\n\nthere is a solution, but no politician would ever have the gonads to persue it: no more aid for single mums. you dont have to starve them, just dont give them total control of the money.\n\ni also believe it would sort this planet out soo much if you  wanted to have a second kid you had to prove that you could feed and love and educate it, or were at lest a decent person, and take soome kind of course.\n\nin fact in africa, the mentality is that if u have 9 kids u got a higher chance of oneof them making it big. I'd love to impose a law that says that if you want more than 2 then you have to pay extra taxes, that will go toward that kid's education. sure it soundws a little like china in the old days, but it is soo necessary in some parts of africa, especially south africa, where i'm from.

I saw it on the news.. and that is just really sad that people would even think that it is funny.. there is nothing right about making children fight, I'm sure they were hurt also. Some people I swear! I hope they go to jail for a long time.. Idiots! I really hope the children are ok. Sad world huh?

.Im gonna pray for you tonite........I think your just voicing a cry for help. There are professionals who can help you. Call the suicide prevention hotline.Just do a search and youll find it online. One of the most painful ways to die is an acetaminophen overdose. Ive seen people who "wanted to die" beg me to help them live after they took an overdose. They didnt wanna die, they just needed to get control of their emotions. Sadly, one teen died. That could be you.......the last thing you wanna do is beg someone to save your life and watch helplessly as it slips away from you. Please think about what I said....its real.  God loves you and if you dont believe that, Im so sorry. Good luck to you. Just sleep on it. Youll feel better in the morning.

This is a tough one.  You can help them to take it slow, help them realize it was not their fault (unless it was, which makes things worst). And if they have other children, tell them that they need to stand strong for the other kids who at this time need them more than anything else in the world.  And be there for them at all times, and make sure they know that.  Sometimes it is better to be just there and not to say nothing at all, just be there with all your love.

Oh, please, my greatest sympathy to you.  My oldest is 33 years old and I would also be devastated if something happed to her.\n\nHospice is a great organization; it helped my father during his last days.  But there should be community mental health practitioners - go to your county health department and ask them for a list of names; they usually work on a sliding scale depending on your income.\n\nPlease talk to someone.  Your question pulls at my heart strings because you seem to be such a good-hearted person.  We can't know why things happen the way they do.  And I don't think we can ever accept the death of a child.\n\nTry not to spend too much time alone right now.  If there are any small children around, sitting and holding them - getting hugs and comfort from everyone around you is necessary.\n\nPlease do call your county health department or senior center or hospice to see what counseling they have for you.  And be very, very good to yourself during this time of sorrow.  Your daughter is watching you from heaven and she wants you to be happy and go on with your life.

I'm going through the same thing ... fear in general that something horrible will happen to my children. Poor little guys, I rarely let them out of my sight and I know that's not healthy for them ... I've tried everything from counseling to meds, even stopped watching the news and reading the paper because of all the horrible things that happen. Nothing worked. So this is a little out-there, but it's what I do ... it works for me.\nMy grandma, whom I treasured, passed away 2 years ago. I know she's in Heaven watching over me and the kids, so when it gets really bad, I just say "hey Maw, hang on to this (the fear) for me for a while, will ya? It' a heavy burden and I can't handle it on my own."    Not sure how, but she always manages to make me feel better ... even now. Maybe you can try asking for help from Above too ... and just remember: Change the things you can , accept the things you can't, and pray for the wisdom to know the difference. Good luck!

The sad thing is your kid is depressed, why??  they should get out on a bike, walk on the beach , mountains etc..  if you need cheap meds though...

I hate to tell you this but some of this sounds very familiar to me.  Try some different professionals because if you feel in your heart that there is a problem, then there probably is.  Sometimes the "professional" can't properly diagnose because these kids choose to be on their best behavior when you take them in there, and they are actually trying to analyze the current situation or the doctor.  Good Luck

well, almost certainly you would need to call your local police or sherriff's office, if you want to report her for a crime.. or the state family services board, if you want to help the children..  but i can't tell you how to do that since i don't know where you live.\n\nsorry!  guess they're doomed to a life of hardship and despair.

I have several suggestions. 1) Go to the doctor and explain how you are feeling and see if they will prescribe an anti-depressant to help you get through this. Being on anti-depressants does not mean you are crazy.  It means there is a chemical imbalance in your brain and the medication will even out the imbalance allowing you to function normally again. 2) Seek out a counselor.  If you have insurance start there.  If you do not, contact the local mental health clinic and request reduced fees.  There are multiple agencies that offer counsling and are willing to base your fee on your income.  3) Pretend that you are not depressed. This one is the hardest as far as I am concerned but it really does work.  Been there, done that!  I'd also like to add that I have a Master's degree in Social Work and deal with these issues everyday for many people. So my advice comes from years of practice.  Good Luck and please try one or all of these.  Your children need you!!!

This is terrible situation, but I know you already this.  I feel really bad for you and your son because I do know what it feels like to be at your wits ends.\n\nI suggest you continue to talk to the people at the school, but also send them letters identifying the problems along with the date and time of the incidents.  This will create a paper trail.  A paper trail will help you in two ways:  documentation so that when you take this matter to the school board or higher no one can say I didn't know; and, in the unfortunate event that the bullying gets so severe that you must seek legal action.\n\nAlso, did you try contacting the parent of the other child involved.\n\nI wish the best for you this is a really tough situation and it is hard to think when you and your son are being impacted so greatly.\nRegards...

Rivern, you need to find someone to talk to. I have looked at your other questions and answered your one on suicide. Now I am getting seriously disturbed by you.  Let me tell you something:\n\nOn this site, it is hard or really impossible to know when someone is on the level or is playing us on here for fools and then laughing as we earnestly try to help.  Myself, I have been burnt several times by kids doing this, from crying "rape" to threatening suicide as you have done.  It is tempting to lump you into that category b/c your questions seem so improbable. You appear to be handicapped, motherless, with a distant, unloving father who gives you shots that hurt you and doesn't seem to care. Also you have given the impression that your mother died giving birth to you and that is why your father hates you.  You also say that you love to read.  Frankly, this all "reads" like fiction.\n\nBut on the off chance that even if the details are made up or embellished by you, that you are quite lonely and wonder what you are here on earth for, I want to tell you this one thing:  God has a purpose for you and that is why you are here. That is why you are the YOU you are. No one else is like you. No one else has your experiences, your unique outlook on life, and no one else is going to do in this life what you are going to do. We all have a necessary part to play while we are here, and you will play your part, too.\n\nSo, get ready for life. Learn all you can. Be a friend to whomever you can befriend. Be a good child to your parent(s), and a good neighbor, and a good student.  Look for opportunities to help those who are less fortunate than you, and you will see, they ARE out there. You are not the worst off person in the world.\n\nTry hard to stop feeling sorry for yourself and to rejoice in the day that the Lord has made. Every day has some moment that is beautiful. You just have to look for it. Stop looking for what is bad, and look for what is good. Be the sunshine in the lives of people around you, not the raincloud. Don't remind them of their failings, help them to see their successes.\n\nKeep reading. Read the classics, like Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling--that is a great adventure story and a wonderful coming of age story of a spoiled young boy.\n\nBe happy, child. You are loved. Look--you have a computer, don't you? Someone cared enough about you to let you have access to this wonderful machine, to get you the ability to read and write! Make lemonade today out of life's lemons. C'mon, you can do it.\nLove,\nDHW

Suicide is no joke. I would tell his parents or close relatives/friends. If they don't do something about it, you yourself have every right to call a pscyh facility and report it and have him evaluated.

Ouch...it sounds like you have been having a really rough time.  The teens are hard, no doubt about it.  When my life crashed it came to a life and death situation, too.  I found that that is the time I was willing to call out to God for help.  I didn't leave it up to Him to help or not, it was an inner scream, "God, if you're really there, help me!" and He did. Ask Him...sometimes we are brought to these situations so that we WILL call on Him for help.  Some others think it's a crutch, but when you're desperate and only One can help it's not a crutch its a lifeline.  I'll keep you in prayer, too.

Seriously get them help!!  I am not kidding.  My brother was suicidal for years and we treated it like the boy who cried wolf, and then last year he really did kill himself.  Report them to some one and get them help!!  Even if you call the cops, they will put your friend on a mental health hold for 48+ hours and get them help!  This is not some thing to mess with.
