[QUOTE="busywend, post: 553816, member: 391"] First of all, suicide is NEVER the answer. Period. It just is not. You would be throwing away a wonderful future that is awaiting you - I promise. And it would kill the people that love you inside of them and they would never be the same without you. No. Suicide NEVER is the answer. Never, ever, ever is there a positive from someone taking their own life. Ever. Am I clear? Next, glad you dropped the classes, that is what I would have recommended. Last, your parents are lovely people, but they are trapping you into a world you are not ready for. I think you should not be in college at this time. I think you should be in counseling and working somewhere. College can come back into the picture in a year or two. You can pay for it, get loans and grants, etc. Your parents need to see the following: No drugs No alcohol Responsible behavior Take responsibility for your own things (appointments, bills, etc.) Be mature. What does that mean? It means take care of you and sometimes do something nice for your parents. That is the age you are at right now. So, tell me what would it take to take care of yourself?
