• My dad used to assault me. (He would still, if not for the social services coming round)
• I used to have dreams where I saw myself dead.
• Very few people understand me.
• Because of this, I have few friends.
• Even my 'friends' say upsetting things about me and then claim they were joking.
• The S.E.N.D. in my old school provided me with an untrained helper, who consistently made fun of me, even though she had to be at least 50.
• The only place I have to speak properly is here, where no-one judges me.

That's more or less it.

Sounds like a normal childhood except for a few things.
You had a gun pointed at you? Any reason why? Same for knifed?

As for your Dad I feel bad for you there but at least its not happening anymore. Some people are just assholes.
Other than that you need to have a little thicker skin to survive in this world. Don't worry so much what other people do or say about you. You just focus on yourself and better yourself.
Grow up, become a man and enjoy life.
I can assure you things will get better in time but you have to stick it out and learn not to let people get to you.
Don't let them win.
You have so much to see and learn in life yet. Keep your chin up dude things will get better.

Compare those trivial problems to some of the kids who have to grow up in Iraq, Africa, or North Korea.

Iraq:The threat of suicide bombs loom over children everyday.
Africa:Children struggle to find clean water and food.
North Korea:A famine that has already killed 2 million people.

Trust me...you have it damn good over here in the states compared to other locations...

Me and my family were on holiday in Turkey when a man pulled up in a van and held me at gunpoint until my family handed over their passports, credit cards etc.

Doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt.

Yes, they have it extremely bad, and I feel bad for them, but at the end of the day does that make these things any less important?

Considering I don't live in the States...

That sucks but is it a reason to off yourself?

I'm sure it does but try to focus on the future not the past.

Not at all. You are right to worry about your own issues and not someone elses from halfway around the world.


I'm only replying off of what you are telling me so take it as that.
All I can really offer you is that life can get better and most likely will for you.
None of the reasons you posted is valid enough for me to kill yourself at age 13.
Aren't there things you are looking forward to? Like sex, car, money, friends wife?

You could always get contacts instead of glasses...

Also, a great way to end your bullying is to just punch one of the guy's in the face.

Didn't you say you were autistic in another thread... when I went to school, people used to beat up people who picked on autistic kids or kids with other disabilities.

They worked fine for about 2 weeks, but a few days ago they started giving me wierd visions, all I could hear were people screaming at me and saying wierd phrases. It was just like what people describe the 'trips' of LSD and other drugs as. Is this a normal side effect, or is it not?

You would have to say what kind of drug your psychologist gave you.
