    I feel so sorry for you and know that I am on the other side of the world, but I feel your pain, really I do. Depression is awful. I'm not a kid, I'm middle-aged but I suffer with the depression that makes me just want to cry all the time and run away into the bush, far away from any other human being. Whenever I feel at my very lowest, there is no-one there for me. That's when I feel completely alone. I know the feeling. At least it's given me the ability to sympathise with others. I want you to know that my feelings of alienation make me so want to help you. I wish I could. I wish I could just hug you to make you feel that someone cares. So here's a big VIRTUAL hug from the other side of the earth ok!

    i read the whole thing bro. hang in there. I believe your mother can be part of your motivation to do better in life above everything. I have the same mentality to have suicide thoughts periodically. i feel your suffering. stay strong and i hope you'll find some answers to your life.

    work hard, raise those grades, do something apart from feel crappy. Imagine how proud your mom would be if your grades went up. teenage years are the hardest. i remember mine. I barely made it through. But now.... perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim (Be patient and tough, some day this pain will be useful)

    Please stay strong. I read your entire message and could feel the pain from your words. Your life sounds very stressful. It must be hard being away from your mother. Your father sounds like he might be self absorbed and in turn that is painful for you to deal with. I am currently battling depression myself and have felt close to the edge at times. I'm in the early stages of medicine and therapy. I hope you could find a church or even a depression support group on line that might be able to help you. Don't keep it all bottled up inside. I can't promise it will get better anytime soon, but I feel your pain and I hope that you will seek out someone to confide in, an adult. You are worth so much more than you might be able to see at this point. I'm praying for you and I hope you have a brighter day ahead. I believe in you.......
