Have you ever felt alone like as if no one cared?

Have you ever felt alone like as if no one cared?

I know I have multiple times.
Recently, I've looked back at how I was in high school. I keep thinking about how I cared so much about who I was hanging out with and which parties I was going to that I ended up not talking to certain types of people because of how they looked or who they hung out with. And it wasn't just me doing this, but almost everyone around me. Now that I look back, I regret being so superficial and self-conceited.

Teenage Suicide Statistics
Suicide brings emotional devastation to children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and friends of the victim. These survivors are not included in the teenage suicide statistics that are available to us.

• Teenage suicide statistics are a part of these numbers:
rates for ages 15-24 in the United States are 7.9 per 100,000.

• 31,000 suicides a year in the U.S., the 3rd leading cause of death in people 15 – 24 years old, and the 11th leading cause over all age groups[4].

• Worldwide, nearly a million people commit suicide every year, more than those murdered or killed in war.[1]

• Global annual teenage suicide statistics, reported for these fatalities could rise to 1.5 million by 2020.

What if you had just ONE more day to live?​

We sadly live in a world where appearance is everything. You feel the need to always buy expensive clothes, have cool friends, go to the parties, and prove a point to everyone around you that you're worth more than the other people around you.

The objective

This thread is going to be dedicated to help teens, whether it be yourself or someone else you may know. Everyone in the world deserves to feel loved and cared about by at least one person, once in this lifetime.
Here, you can post about how you're feeling if you're feeling overwhelmed or alone. You can also share your personal story on here to perhaps help someone who reads it.
If you do not wish to post on here for whatever reason, then you're welcome to private message me whenever. I will gladly reply, and if it's just someone to talk to that you're seeking and not looking for any advice, then just let me know. I'm not going to judge you or tell you how you should act.
Too many times have we seen teenagers take their lives because they felt like no one was listening, like as if no one was there.


What can YOU do to make a change?:
If you're still going to school, then it's obvious you know people who are ''unpopular'' or who are always alone during lunch break. If you've seen that one kid alone for the past few days, with no friends, reach out to him. I'm begging you to leave your ego behind and look past his and your appearance and just ask how that person is doing.

Get your friends involved in talking to people who seem to be alone or who you know is alone. If that person takes the bus with a friend of yours, ask your pal to sit beside him/her to talk, even if it's just for a few minutes.

Even go so far as to asking that person to hang out. Getting that person to just chill for a little while with you could change that person's life FOREVER, trust me.

Last Night.

Thankfully, someone helped me out of the hole of depression I was in.


A quote to help people in the situation

"I used to be the kid that no-one cared about, you have to keep screaming til they hear you out" - Tinie Tempah

 

I used to get upset over the smallest thing. But I've learned not to care for other people, so I don't expect anything in return. I'm nicest person you will meet but if it comes to Me vs. You, you know I will pick myself first. This world is not meant for good people. I learned it the hard way.

 

Moving to the correct forum.

 

I always feel like nobody cares. The only person I really connect with is my girlfriend but I don't trust her for a second. I used to be concerned with who i hung out with and was seen with but after I just took a step back, I realized that none of these people give a fuck about me. They weren't my friends, just some people i did drugs with. I had some trouble in school and basically got the shitty end of the deal on more than one occasion and it changed the way i look at people. I see people as bad. To me, they are only out to benefit themselves. Maybe its my unwillingness to trust others that resulted in me being without close friends. I have major anxiety and depression. I do not like crowds of people. I Get nervous when I am hanging out with more than 1 new person at a time to the point that it's obvious that I'm sitting there twitching. I lost a lot of the friends i hung out with in highschool, but I kept a lot of the habits. I do drugs on a regular basis and spend on average about $200-$250 a week on it. I have a job and everything, but i feel like I'm pissing my life away. The people I work with and most of the people i associate with have no idea what i do with my spare time. If i have all day off, Ill spend it at home doing drugs and avoiding my neighbor because he always expects me to get twacked with him when he never fucking pays for anything. Oh yea, My neighbor is my other friend, we've grown up together but i can't find it in my heart to stop hanging out with him even though I know he only uses me for drugs and if i don't chill with him, I won't have anyone. My parents are still around, but they don't even know me and we haven't really connected since I was in highschool. I found out last week my girlfriend of 4 years cheated on me on 4 different occasions throughout our relationship, But I'm too pathetic and lonely to dump her sorry ass like I should.


Ill stop bullshitting up this thread I suppose.
