An eighth-grade girl feels life has no hope, I want to commit suicide, I am really frustrated. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I am a first-year middle school girl, and I have many worries every day. Every day, I feel like there's a heavy stone on my heart, making it hard to breathe. My family background is average, and my parents often argue about money, almost every day, either about money or over trivial matters, resulting in an unhappy relationship. A few years ago and up until now, I've found that my mom has been chatting with a man, and they seem to be in a relationship. This man asks my mom for money and makes inappropriate comments to her. I feel extremely uncomfortable. My mom is chatting with another man now. Can you imagine how I felt when I saw this? It felt like my heart was being torn apart. I never expected my mom to be like this. There's little happiness at home. I thought that by going to school, I would be happier, but the opposite happened. At school, I am targeted by the teachers, who constantly scold me, and I feel really upset. I am also the class representative for the Chinese language class, and the workload is heavy and tiring. I am also the Monday duty student, often punished for not fulfilling my duties. So, while doing the Chinese language work, I am also doing the duty work, which leads to poor work performance and being scolded by both the Chinese teacher and the teacher who targets me. I am really tired of it. My relatives at home also treat me poorly, always finding fault with me. I also want to end my life. I am really fed up.

Hello! I'll start by sending you a warm hug from afar.

It's normal to feel angry, afraid, uneasy, and helpless when you see your mother being too intimate with other people of the opposite sex. It's also normal to feel a sense of grievance, restlessness, and longing for understanding and support when you're criticized and blamed by your teachers at school.

You could sense your mother's fear, unease, and helplessness when you saw her chatting with other men. You felt a strong sense of being unloved and abandoned. Parents who love each other and have a happy marriage are the main source of a child's sense of security and self-confidence. If a child feels that their parents don't love each other, the child will, to a large extent, develop a deep inferiority complex, become insecure, and feel uneasy and fearful as a result.

So, you need to accept and respond to the emotional feelings you have about your mother. From what you've said, it's clear you've chosen to suppress and hide this part of your true feelings because it's too painful.

People naturally try to avoid pain, and of course, there's also the need to adapt to real life. You can choose to ignore, avoid, or suppress painful emotions, but they won't just disappear just because you ignore, suppress, or hide them. They'll be remembered and stored by your body, temporarily remaining in your subconscious. When you encounter a similar uncomfortable situation, your emotions will be awakened again.

It's not right for your teacher to criticize you and scold you at school. That just adds to the pressure and frustration. You should also try to find out whether your teacher criticizes you because of how you're feeling after seeing your mother's behavior with the opposite sex at home.

One way to do this is to keep an emotional diary. This is where you record all your emotional experiences in words over time. This helps you to better perceive and understand your emotions, explore the needs hidden behind them, and thus seek better responses and ways to meet your inner needs.

For instance, you could try telling your mother how you feel when you see her chatting with the opposite sex and what you'd like her to do to make you feel loved, without judging her actions.

I'm Lily, the little listener from the Q&A Pavilion. I just wanted to say that the world and I love you.

Hello!

I'm Yi Ming, a heart exploration coach.

One of the respondents has already given an answer, and I would like to add a few more things for you.

1. Grow slowly and support yourself.

Seventh grade is a confusing time.

We can have mood swings and feel frustrated.

This depends on your age.

If your parents can't give you a happy home, it will make you unhappy.

You're young and don't understand adult feelings.

Tell your mother what's on your mind.

It's an adult matter. We don't want adults to interfere in our affairs. We can express our opinions, but not too much.

It's a kind of growth to separate adults' affairs from our own.

Everyone is responsible for themselves.

Mum did that, even though we thought it was bad. It was her choice.

If Dad never listens to Mom, they fight a lot. Mom has someone of the opposite sex to chat with, which calms her down.

2. About being scolded by the teacher.

You said, "I'm the class representative for Chinese again, and there's a lot of work. I'm tired. I'm also the class monitor on Mondays, and I'm often punished." "I'm annoyed."

The teachers were wrong to criticize us. They didn't pay attention.

We can learn to reassure ourselves.

Nobody likes criticism.

It can be annoying if you've put in a lot of effort and are still being picked on.

You may have felt helpless or frustrated.

Think back to what the teacher said.

Did they help you improve?

We can achieve a better balance when we don't mind what the teacher says, but try to understand what they really mean.

People feel differently about what others say.

Some people think that if a teacher criticizes them, it means that they like them.

If we don't like someone, we don't want to criticize them.

This is not arrogance, but a way to get feedback from criticism.

Know the difference between criticism and the person giving it.

If a teacher or relative says you're not good at something, it doesn't mean you're not good. It just means they expect you to do well in certain things.

Next time, support and encourage yourself instead of thinking they're being mean.

We decide if we're doing well.

You said, "I'm really annoyed when I think about suicide." Learn to comfort yourself when you're feeling emotional!

Don't hurt yourself.

If you want to die, you want to end the pain, not your life.

You have to learn to love yourself!

Just share these.

I love you!

Ivy Reed Time is a ladder, and we climb it one rung at a time.

I can't imagine how heavy your heart must be carrying all these burdens. It's really tough when family issues and school pressures pile up like this. You're facing so much at such a young age, and it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed. There should be someone you trust, maybe a close friend or a counselor, who could listen and offer some support. It's important not to go through this alone.

Ulric Thomas There is no substitute for hard work.

It sounds like you're under immense pressure from various fronts, and it's heartbreaking that home isn't the safe haven it should be for you. I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but it's crucial to remember that there are people out there who can help you navigate through these difficult times. Reaching out for professional help might provide you with the guidance you need during this challenging period.

Yale Thomas The acquisition of knowledge in different areas is the armor that a well - read person wears in the battle of ignorance.

Your feelings are valid, and it's okay to not be okay. Facing such a complex family situation while also dealing with school stress is incredibly hard. It's vital to find someone who can listen without judgment, whether it's a school counselor, a trusted teacher, or a helpline. They can give you the space to express what you're going through and possibly suggest ways to cope with everything you're dealing with.

Wyatt Thomas We learn not only from our successes but also from our failures in the learning process.

It's really disheartening to hear about your struggles both at home and at school. The weight of your mom's actions and the mistreatment by teachers and relatives can make life feel unbearable. However, amidst all this adversity, it's important to seek out positive influences and support systems. Even if it feels like there's no one around, there are resources and professionals dedicated to helping teens in situations like yours.

Perry Davis Life is a flower that blooms in different seasons.

You're enduring so much pain and frustration, and it's clear that you're seeking a way out of this darkness. While it may seem like there's no light at the end of the tunnel, reaching out for help is a brave step towards finding solutions and support. Whether it's talking to a mental health professional or connecting with supportive peers, taking that first step can lead to discovering strength within yourself that you didn't know you had.
