I've been feeling really down, and even considering suicide?

jasmine, sweetheart, high school = NOTHING. you will get out of there. high school does not affect your life at all. yes, it's important for college and all that jazz, but that's it. i understand what it's like to have gone from happy-go-lucky to pessimist, so i completely understand. this part of your life is so small that you will be so happy you got through it. i almost killed myself too. i was bullied and harassed, but i got through it. best decision i ever made. also the most important. if i hadn't decided to live, i wouldn't have graduated (and completely forgotten about high school, no kidding) and went to college to learn the thing i love with others that had the same interests. it truly felt amazing to finally be with people that understand me. that's not even the best part. i got to grow and realize those people don't matter. I got to grow up, meet someone just wonderful, watch my sister get married, meet my niece and nephews. on top of all of that, i still have more to look forward to. you will never understand how absolutely thankful you will be to yourself if you keep your head up and get through your teenage years because you are at the worst part of your life. it's a very good sign that you stand up to yourself, despite your friends. that just means they're not truly your friends and have to fight to find the people who truly care for you. don't be mad at those "don't be silly" people. they just never went through an age where they were even slightly prone to depression. that was considered more of something that didn't happen to people like them. like car crashes or falling down the steps and needing stitches. the most successful people sat where you did at some point in their life, but they survived and created empires. the fact that you question suicide means you don't completely want to kill yourself. that means you still have just the tiniest bit of hope. which is wonderful because that's all you need. but the most important reason why you should save yourself is because of the people around you. you think everybody hates you, but that is not true 100.4% of the time. if you can think of ONE person that cares for you than it's worth it to stay alive for them. schools always underestimate bullying. the administration will almost always do little to nothing to stop bullying. don't be another statistic. be a story, a legend. that way when you grow up and come home from set, you can tell people the story of the little girl who didn't want to live instead of having someone else tell the story of the little girl who lived and then didn't. i know this is a lot of typing, but just think about it. life is worth it. i promise.
