Let's check your symptoms: You are 15 years old. You come online and post to the world that you "want to die". Yet you claim that you don't want to talk about it. You rely on some stranger to 'tell me something positive" or even tell you a story because you are 'surrounded by sadness". Okay..I know the CURE, because the BIBLE tells us that JESUS came to give LIFE, and MORE ABUNDANTLY...starting NOW. It is evident that you are not living an abundant life. What is the solution? BINGO!!!!!! Having JESUS as your Savior, Friend, Confidant, and the Holy Spirit as your Comforter. You do not need the internet to solve your sadness. JESUS and sadness are as far apart as the East is from the West. Sadness has to go...and it's a choice..you either decide to hold on to sadness, making it your Master, or you come to JESUS with your sadness, lay it at His feet, embrace HIM and walk away from that sadness because JESUS gives you real J.O.Y. Jesus is Joy...the "O" is for Others, and the "Y" is for YOU, in that order. As the focus changes in your life, sadness has to leave! Having JESUS..helping Others is what it is all about.

This is absolutely true, the enemy uses your feelings against you, and they keep you focused on things that hurt you. The enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy. They hate you, and they want to see you die with them. These feelings will pass, take this time to reach out to Christ, when you cry, the Lord listens to you.
In Matthew 12:43-46, we are told that when an unsaved spirit comes out of a man (from death), it leaves and searches the land for waterless places to find rest, but he finds no rest. So he returns to the house he lived in, and finds it cleaned out and empty. And he brings other spirits to live with him, and each one falls into a worse mental state than the last.
You will NOT find an eternal slumber if you take your own life, you will be left here in anxiety and despair, awaiting the day of judgement. That is the goal of the enemy.
Give yourself over to the Lord, and make Him your only desire. You will find that sadness goes away in time, and with Him you find find yourself stronger against such things in the future. I will pray that you seek Him, and not give into these feelings.

Just like the other said.. suicidal is not the solution.. its just running away from problem..
I want to share a little of my stories.. I come from non Christian family.. and they didnt really like fanatic one.. trying to separate me from my cell group and i've been totally lost connection with my previous cell group few years ago, mom will check my phone etc at that time and i resist with my choice even if it will cost me sleep on the street just because of my faith but God has another plan for me.. He soften her heart and i can going back to college (on another city) and then i try to join another one but due to some circumstances i must going back home few months ago (family financial)..
Things not going well.. they arguing each others mostly.. sometimes i wish i disappear.. but thats not what God's plan for me.. He show me financial miracle through me and i know God still alive. if you ask me why i'm not try to be independent with my own feet.. its hard to tell, and my circumstances is not that easy too..
I barely survive until today all because i know God's love for me is more than enough.. and His love for you is more than eough too.. i'm not strong enough facing trial by trial.. loosing friends and crying.. but once again His love for me is more than enough..
I'll praying for you

Levi, i just came in to post a link.. but then i see ur post! We'd have wanted to greet u for ur birthday, but u might say are we kidding...Look, many here or who have left here have none o few friends also, but as some say and sing What a Friend we have in Jesus.' We wish things were different, that we dint live in such and such times, adn that my family, my friend or relative was this and that.. but they arent. But as the others here say, a lot also care abt u even if they cannot always write to tell u. U are stuck at the hospital, is it? Try to make the best of it... have u read of others who found Christ in prison? Or paraplegic like joni earickson? God is good whatever we say or do, and i really wonder how these ppl really soar after all theyve been thru. But always the answer is.. bec. of Jesus. I have to go, but hold on.. HOnest, do u manage to read Scripture daily? If going public 'hurts' u too much, dont u have ppl who pm u or to pm when u need to? God bless you, young man.
I know how you feel. My dad had a shotgun and when I was about your age, I was harassed at school for not being as smart as the others. Just mainly because of a bad memory and somewhat poor coordination. I had the shells in the gun and the end of the barrel under my chin and my fingers on the trigger. I thank God that it was not easy for me to do, because it gave me a chance to think about the aftermath. My parents, whom I cared for very much although they were upset with me at the time, would come home and find me in the room in a terrible condition, with blood everywhere, and I imagined my mom and dad actually crying about it. I realized then that I couldn't do that to them. I guess what saved my life was my concern for others. When we think about suicide it is to make us stop hurting, so if we see a need to help others maybe we won't be so intent on helping ourselves at the expense of others.
What I would suggest is to see the need in others and minister to them. How can we say that we love others if we don't try to keep them from suffering forever because of a disbelief in God. You are not a worthless individual to God. Even the lowliest of individuals, stroke victims, mentally retarded individuals, Alzheimer's patients, etc. have a work to do for God. Their work is to allow others to help and feel needed. You, at this point in your life, are helping us by letting us feel needed. I love you, and so does everyone else that has posted here. Please don't let us hear about your death by suicide.

Levi, there is NOTHING so bad in this life, that is worth killing yourself over. It is an act of cowardice and selfishness. As I said before, suicide ultimately ends up hurting YOU the most, because your salvation is at risk when a person kills themselves. Trust God in all of this to pull you through. Life is hard, that's a cruel fact. BUT you can get through this. Others here who have depression, made it through their tough times, and so will you. Change your attitude, and you'll change your life. 
Stop feeling sorry for yourself, and do something positive for yourself. The best thing you can do for yourself right now, is go to this hospital.
To Colt45, I've had depression for even longer than you've been alive. Mine began at age 5, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm saying, as to what I speak on depression. Levi needs to hear the truth, not some sugar coated version. He's 14, he's old enough to hear that he's being selfish if he kills himself, and that there is no going back. Suicide is a PERMANENT solution to a TEMPORARY problem. If he'd focus more on God, than on his current circumstances, he might just get through this hard time, and step back out into the light.

Hey Levi, I'm about your age and have suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts for several years, it's under control now and I know everyone's depression is different so I can't understand your exact situation completely but I can empathize a lot with what you're going though. While there is a lot of great advice here, sometimes you just need to rant your feelings, so, if you ever need someone to just talk to and write out your feelings, please feel free to message me.

The fact that you have told people about this is a great step for you; I hope you no longer feel alone.
I've seen that quite a few people before me have shared bible quotes etc. with you, so instead I'll just tell you that I'm praying for you, and that God is always with you, even when you don't feel his presence.

Levi there is no harder time to be depressed than when you are a teenager. There are hormones running amuk, making everything more intense. There are self identity and esteem issues. There are bullying and social issues.
But things do getter better! I had very tumultuous teen years. I don't know how many times I tried to kill myself. Then there was drinking and drugs. Trying to figure out the meaning of life and a purpose for going on.
So I would urge you to hang on. See your doctor. Meds can help! And so can counselling! And always remember that God loves you, and he will work things together for God (Romans 8:28).

My boyfriend called me yesturday morning for like 10mins and then left because he was too busy playing xbox with his friend to talk to me. He didnt even say happy valentines day or anything. He ignored me for the rest of the day like we had booked a really expensive restruant and I was sat there for 2 hours and he never showed up and he wouldnt answer my calls. then today hes saying that he slept all of yesturday because he stayed up all night so thats why he didnt bother with it. If someone who loves me doesnt even think Im worth getting out of bed for then I dont know what Im meant to do. My friend asked me why Im still with him and I said because I love him but it doesnt feel like thats enough anymore. Love hurts to much to be in it but it also hurts to not have it. Idk I think im not gonna be good either way
Well that may be your first issue... You really need to be comfortable in and of yourself before you can be so with someone else. Your boyfriend is just compounding the problem. Get rid of him and get right with God, that's the relationship you need to solidify first before anything else. Find your worth in Him, because He is the one person who will deem you worthy no matter what.
wow i just watched the video someone recommended for you i hope you watched it! it will help you if u can trust that Jesus loves you, which is what these are all about:

Levichevett.....at last....you can see for yourself that BOTH of you need to GROW UP....the immaturity you just expressed about your bf should be a warning sign, a red flag.....if you don't dump him...perhaps he will dump you for his Xbox, since he pays more attention to it than you.....The next post we hear from you should be "Top of the morning to all my CHRISTIAN friends...GOD and I are on good terms...and I am seeking where HE wants me to best serve others." Honestly, at your age, there should not be this:" If someone who loves me doesnt even think Im worth getting out of bed for then I dont know what Im meant to do." My question to you is....Are You serious? You think that your WORTH is based on how an immature kid treats you?
So are you male or female? If you are female, and your name is blue instead of pink for female, please contact s mode to change it.
If you are male, I think we have discovered the root of your problem. It sounds like you are talking about romantic homosexual love. I first want you to know how much Jesus loves you. But romantic homosexual love is wrong in both the Old and New Testaments. When you break God's law, the result is turmoil and conflict. You need to repent, or turn away from your sins.
Talk to a pastor or someone who understands this lifestyle choice. Contact Yeraza_Bats above and he can give you help. It is possible to lead s much happier life if you break out of the lifestyle. We have a man in my church who walked away from homosexuality and had been happily married to a woman for 25 years!

Depression is a constant pain that will not go away. I have had that through my teenage years.
Life is about living and everything in us as humans is geared to keeping us alive, realising life is a wonderful gift, and what we feel like now is not necessarily what we will feel like tomorrow, as it is only a feeling. Once you begin to see feelings are reflections of how we are experiencing life and not life itself, we can go back and look at the things we enjoy, that change our mood and use them to give us a different perspective on life.
This is why intelligent people get caught in moods, and take them so so seriously, and not just through them off and do something much more enjoyable.
A small point 15 and getting this intense. Something is way too heavy, you need to go a just do something with other people and enjoy the company of others together. I went cycling with friends, or went to a youth group, or joined a club for sport like badminton etc. There is always a massive number of choices rather than vegitating on how you feel.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you, and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future."
Hope that helps. Will pray for you, my friend...
