Sometimes I think suicide is the only way out. I go to church and don't feel right there either. Could someone please become my friend and help me.

We are all trying to be your friends Jennifer. Starting college is a wonderful, challenging and scary time of your life. You'll have all kinds of opportunities to branch out. Yes, it's possible that some fool will make fun of you...it's also possible that you'll make a new friend and love your classes.

Try to look at it as a new beginning. I usually find that if you're fun to be with, others want to be with you.

Someone once asked the great psychologist Karl Menninger, "What should a person do if he feels a nervous breakdown coming on?"

Menninger replied, "Lock the door, go across the street, and do something to help your neighbor."

Sometimes doing something thoughtful for another person can ease our own pain.

Just keep/or maybe start talking to us Jennifer...we'd like to help.
