DEPRESSION: ''I NEED HELP''
Dear Sir, Hi, My name is Carole. I am seventeen years old and a senior in high school. And I want to die.
My name is Brandy. I'm 13 years old and I've tried to kill myself six times. I had some problems with my mom and I felt I couldn't live anymore.
I don't know what to do anymore. My life has been a nightmare. I've lived all my life without love. I hurt everybody around me. I've come to the end of the line. I can't go on anymore. I've ruined enough lives. I don't have anywhere else to go. I hurt so much. I can't stand it anymore. ''Bobby''
I don't want to die but it's like the only thing I feel will work. I have so much pressure at home and school. I have so much pressure with friends. No one expects me to have problems because I am always happy. But I'm also hurting inside. I hate my life. I think about suicide. I just know tomorrow brings more pain. Sometimes there is so much hurt I can't stand it. Why do I feel like my problems are worthless but worth dying for? Signed, ''On the Edge''

Lori was pregnant. About a month before she was expected to deliver, Lori tidied her room, emptied her school locker ...
