Are there any social websites for depressed/suicidal teens?

[averygamerdude]

I used to have an iPhone, and on my iPhone was this wonderful app called TalkLife. On that app, were a bunch of kind, non-judgmental teens (mostly girls) who were going through the same stuff I always go through, and it was my place to go when I was feeling sad or blue. But unfortunately, my iPhone broke, and I currently don't have any money to buy a new one. Are there any online social websites that are just like or very similar to it that I can use to make do til' then? Please, and thanks.

I will say this forum right here has helped dozens of people recover.

Factoring in how old this website is, it could stretch to hundreds

Well, I don't really know about any social media for that, but, if you wanna talk to someone who's also going trough quite allot, feel free to contact me.

Guys, I appreciate your help, but if I post my problems here, it might get taken down by the moderators.

The moderators are not mean. They won't remove your post unless you're breaking rules.

This.

You can always run a post by us first, if you're unsure. It's no trouble at all. Our rules tend to be please don't encourage bad things and please don't cross the line between educational and sexual (as you can imagine, this applies to P101).

Off the top of my head, I can think of sixbillionsecrets and blahtherapy.

Don't worry, I've posted pretty much my entire life on here, and the post is still there.

There's this great place called www.virtualteen.org/forums that really helped me out when I was feeling shitty.

I mean, you're here already so let us help you out. The mods are not scary at all and I can tell you from experience that things only get removed if there is a major problem with it.

So grab a chair and join in. We're all friendly.

Well, one of my problems is that I'm a huge misanthrope. I pretty much hate humans (Well, at least most of them), because almost everybody on this planet is a jerk except for me. Also, I can't live with myself knowing that I wasted way too much time going to school, spending time being grounded, or waiting for something good to happen. It's all just a load of BS.

[Magenta]

Well, here's a big problem right off the bat: you're just writing everyone off as jerks before you even speak to anyone. Everyone's a jerk but you? No offence, but that's a pretty jerk-y thing to say. That's your attitude, not everyone else's problem. Yeah, there are people who are shit. But this thread should be evidence that there are people out there willing to help and care just because we can. There are a lot of people out there like that. You can sit around saying the world is shit and everyone is out for themselves but then you're not going to see anything else because you've already convinced yourself of something that isn't true.

School is important. Sorry, but that's just how society works. There are good parts of school and there are useless parts of school but one way or another, you have to go. It's only a waste of time if you make it. Spending time grounded? Well, easy solution: do what you're told and don't get in trouble. But maybe that's just common sense to me because I've never actually been grounded.

Also, waiting for something good to happen is stupid. Sorry, I'm being blunt and pulling apart your post. Just because I can see the attitude dripping from it. You're not giving people or life a chance. Good things aren't just going to happen. You want good grades? Work for them. You want good friends to experience things with? Make an effort and do things you enjoy. You want something good to happen? You have to go after it because the good parts of life aren't just going to come to you because you want them. They're not gonna wait for you to just idly grab them as you go by. You have to make things good and you have to strive for good things by being active in your own life. Just sitting there and saying everything is bullshit? Well, yeah, it is bullshit because that's what you make it.

17 Years is nothing, no offense. You've got decades ahead of you: focus on making the future time well spent instead of getting bitter and angry about the past.

Well, it certainly FEELS like everybody is a jerk. Also, I told you that life isn't what you make it. It's what other people make it. I have a crappy life because my family doesn't have enough money to buy the things that I want. Also, on the subject of school, school is just useless. Period. The career I want to start on doesn't require knowledge of the "Founding Fathers" or "What 2x-y equals". Also, I already TRY to stay out of trouble, but my mom often gets mad at me for something I have no control over. Also, she's pretty much angry all the time. And finally, I have to friggin' wait for something good to happen because I can't make anything good happen.

I appreciate you trying to help, but I can't be broken. My family and friends have tried everything to try and "cure" me. Counseling and love just aren't gonna cut it for me. I also can't live with myself knowing that I wasted my entire childhood and teen years doing things that are pointless.

Then why are you here if you obviously don't want anyone's help? That's all we're offering you and if you're going to throw it back in everyone's faces, yeah, your life is gonna fucking suck. That's your decision at that point and you really can't complain if you're not willing to accept help or try to change things for the better.

We all get stuck in a rut. I was in one for 13 years. But no one can help you if you want to stay there, regardless of what you say. Your actions contradict your words. You don't want to live with the thought that your life was wasted? Stop wasting it by saying you can't and it's everyone else's fault. Because it's not true. But if you don't want to listen, fine, no one can make you. But you're not gonna make any friends that way and eventually no one will care. I know because I've been there.

There are so many things I could say to your post but honestly, it's clearly not worth the time or the effort. When you want help, ask for it. Until then, you can do whatever you want but it's clearly not working for you and you know it.
