• Answer:

  Well do you do stuff with your mum? Usually when you do new things and get out of the house it will make you and the person/people happy. Do you have siblings? if you do work on your relationship better with them. Trying new things at school to gain more friends would be good. Distracting yourself from this situation or you home life would be another way to handle this. I am the same way, I never use to tell anyone about anything. But I brodend my horizon abit with my standards on friends and you would be surprised at how many people could make you smile by doing so. I think, to help you and your mums depression, is to move out of the house. Sometimes the house can bring up good times, but then you realise that that person isn't there anymore and it only makes you more depressed. I think what you need to try to do is move on by opening up at school and trying to gain new friends, do stuff with your mum/family, get out of the house more, and distract your mind with other hobbies/interests you like to do. Suicide is not the way to go, you have a responcibility to your mum to be there for her, I knwo it's tough but just hang in there. :)
