[rockmesoftly]

i dont understand y if im so miserable im being selfish to end my own life. i think other ppl are being selfish not letting me. They only want me here for there own selfish reasons. So y, if it would make me happy, m i being selfish to kill myself?

Because, maybe one day you will make a significant difference in the world. Maybe one day you'll really help out one of your parents or a relative.

They might be selfish for not letting you kill yourself, but only a bit, and that is outweighed by the possibilities you could have in the world. Anyone can shine and turn themselves into something if they only try, so why rob yourself of that chance when it could turn into something that does a lot of good in the world.

And you will cause a lot of un-needed pain among friends and relatives and family. People may start blaming themselves for your suicide, people will get really sad, some upset and angry. It's not a good thing to do.

i don't have parents, i live with a foster familly, who clearly don't care for me (i don't just say that, it's pretty clear).
i live in the middle of nowhere. there isnt lots of possibility here. none actually.
i have no friends, or familly, just schoolmates. so really, its just me to blame

Everything will work itself out. Seriously, even if you think that you can't make a difference in this world, or are unwanted, it isnt true. Please don't do it. Perhaps go and see a doctor or pyschologist.

It sounds like you've had a hard time if it, and I'm sorry for you for that.

I think people use the 'selfish' line frankly b/c they don't know what else to say and they want you to reconsider. When all else fails, often people use guilt to try to reach someone and get them to control their urges. Obviously, you've told someone about your suicidal thoughts, and they recognize how unhappy you are and they want to help. However, 'regular' people have difficulty when confronted with such misery.

I prefer you to look at your current situation (and your feelings about it) as temporary, just like the childhood that might have created them. Soon, you'll be an adult, and you'll be able to make different decisions and have different outcomes, you'll be in charge of your life completely, and you'll be able to make the choices you need in order to find the happiness you've missed, but deserve.

Plan for that day, my friend, don't focus so much in the past or the present, but the future. THAT is worth the wait. Use the time to prepare for it, keep your eye on the ball.

it's not your fault. how is it your fault you don't have parents? Listen, even if there is no possibility, you CAN make some. Work hard. and trust me, you will succeed.

They call you selfish because you are only considering your own viewpoint, imagine how it will affect them to discover that you are dead, not only that you could make a significant difference later in life.

"Our destiny is not written for us, it is written by us." -Obama

We can make our destiny, and if you truly believe that you can you will be able to pull yourself out of this, and move on. No matter how bad your situation is it happens for a reason, so that we can learn a lesson. But what good will you get out of this, although you may not see it now you may later, if you end it now!
