Strawberry Letter 23: 18 and Suicidal

Hello morning crew I am a 18 year old high school graduate and I’m currently going through my first year of college. I’m gonna cut to the chase: I need help. For the past 18 years I have been stereotyped, labeled and judged. Since the third grade I have been called a retard by my fellow classmates, teachers, even people at church. I have family members who pick certain members, what I mean by that is they only help out certain family members and not all and I fit in the category of not all.

My father left me and my family last week and we’re struggling to keep money. Days I want to get a gun and shoot myself in the head because of the drama I’m going through and the sad thing is that I can’t explain it or express it because it’s either I’m being a cry baby or I’m complaining too much. People don’t understand where I’m coming from and that is frustrating because it feels like I’m all alone and I don’t know who to go to. It feels like God don’t accept me if he did why am I still going through this now?

The past has became a barrier to my future and it feels like I can’t break it. Please give me a response and tell me what to do before I make the biggest mistake of my life and hurt the people who loves me. Sincerely, 18 and Suicidal.

    I believe God has special plans for this young lady’s future. She must realize the enemy is trying to keep her from her wonderful dynasty. I would like to tell her to stay strong and know that your presence matters in this world.

    I too went through a similar situation when I was younger. My family was cruel to me and I did not have any friends. The one thing that I did have was the Lord and my parents. They did what they could but the pain was still there. One day while at school and at my wits’ end, I decided to go to the university counsel center. It was free of charge and open to all students. I spoke to one of the counselor’s and he really helped me. With help and strength from the Lord, my parents and my school; today I am a 35 year old successful college graduate (the first in my family). And you know what, I see now that the people that were cruel to me were jealous and always will be. There is nothing you can do about that but hold your head up and refuse to let them win. As long as you hold on to Jesus, he will always see you through. I promise! He did it for me and is still doing it. And remember that fabulous is, as fabulous does.
