My family used to be so nice.

Stop being such a self-absorbed, self-pitying teenager and help your sister out if you can. "my philosophies hold me back" is the biggest crock of sh!t I've ever heard. God is make-believe but family is real.
 
*Flick* Here's a quarter, call someone who cares.

You don't care, are not willing to help, yet you're posting the whole sorry incident to the forum? What are you, an aspiring soap writer? If not, this is the biggest, most revolting self-pity post I have ever seen.

So your sister is going through an extremely ugly breakup. That happens and there was some good advice offered here and a real brother would take it. Of course... you're not interested in that. You just want to waste our time and bandwidth. So either admit that you do care about her, want to help, and do something about it, or start living by that vaunted philosophy of yours and stop trying to make connections with us. Because, quite frankly, we have better things to do with our time.

Because I just disconnect myself. I've had so much pain in my life already that I just don't need anymore. I know you're all thinking I'm only 17 but I've had a lifetime of pain.

all 17 year olds have had a lifetime of pain
 
However, I see it from a different perspective. It reminds me of my cousin, she used to be a girl of about 14 when I was about 6, I still remember how we played with snow and she would put that snow under my collar and make me feel crappy, now then years passed, relationships in our family were never good, in fact, there weren't any, I always liked my cousin and I wanted to be friends, however, we never met, then she married and now she has twins (girls), I never got to see any of them or her husband. They never call and we got no relationships at all. Now I got another cousin (young man), and we never talked or seen at all, and we used to live in the same city a couple kilometers away from each other, now I moved away to another city and I haven't heard a single thing from any of them in more than 6 years, not a line, not a word. I used to look for something on the 'net, but couldn't find any of their info there. That's what life is like sometimes. I think Idnut does care about his sister, that's why he posts about her, but he isn't sure she needs his help, for her he's just a boy, after all, or that's what he's thinking, maybe.

It sounds like you have worse problems than she does. At least, hers are based on real events. Whatever your "philosophies" are, they're keeping your head where sunlight and intelligence can't reach your brain. :Q

Obviously, your sister needs some moral support. Get your head out of your cravass, and you may be able to help her.
 
I don't think you can be f'd up enough to not care... If you are, you're a sick person. You only get one life, you only get one family... Some people have lost loved ones extremely close, yet you still have family and you neglect the fact that they are people you should support, as they have once supported you.

Life isn't only about you... if you don't learn that, it wont get any better. Life's about making a lot of mistakes. I've made many that I regret... but hey, what the hell... just keep on.

Care about people, you may not see the results immediately, but one day it'll all become clear.
 
Also, I just had a curious idea. If you don't want to talk to your sister, you're also right. Of course, women are more right in any given circumstances but we are too. However, I think you project your own grief on your sister. How do you know if she's feeling that bad? Yep, she cried, girls do that all the time, for example, I'm not a girl, but lately I always want to drop a tear or two, that's how bad I feel. Women don't feel pain inside as much as we do, that's what I think. It's more difficult to hurt them on the inside than us men, I'm sure of it. Maybe it's you feeling bad and gloomy and you think the whole world is like that. Well it isn't, everybody sees it differently.

I don't understand the part with the dog running out the back - what does that have to do with anything if she got him back?
I think it's from the big book of trailerpark astrology. If your dog runs out back you get your boyfriend back.

We don't live in a trailer. The reason I posted that was it was what pushed my sister over the edge.

Right now, I don't want to deal with her. She's gone over to her friend's so let her friend deal with it. Right now I'm super fvcking depressed about having to go to school on Tuesday, how I've lost confidence in doing the movie I wanted to do, my poor drawing skills that I tried to improve to apply in making a game I had in mind, my fruitless future after high school and my dysfunctional family. I think I'm the one who'll have the breakdown first. I have nothing to hold onto, no convictions left, no hope and all I want to do right now is hang myself. I'm fvcking tired of this all and I seek any escape from it.

The truth is, I don't know why I post on this forum, all it does is make me feel like sh!t. Sure, I guess it's a reality check on my skills but when you find out you have no skill in any area, you become extremely sad. I thought I had a future at writing but that's all been shut down. I refuse to get a day job that I'll hate because right there I believe life isn't worth living. Yes, over my career I'm ready to just sacrifice it all. I want to be able to do something that will bring me joy everyday and something everyone else would like.

I'm ready to just flip out and I never do that.

Don't worry, it will pass (I'm lying to you 😉). You see, I also wanted to cut my veins with a kitchen knife when I was 15. I was so freaked out at life, the girl I liked didn't even look at me, I was overly fat and I thought I was so ugly. The only thing I wanted to do was to die. So I was about ready to cut my veins and end it all. I didn't know you'd have to be in water in order to die, that's how stupid I was. I went to the isolated forest at about 3 AM, big @ss knife in pocket. I took it out there and put it against my wrist, I was so depressed I was ready to cut it and end it right there. Good thing I realized I don't wanna cut that wrist, even amid all the crap I was going through. I'd have scars to this day, I wouldn't have died, b/c I wasn't in water, heck, now it's been almost 9 years, and all I can tell is wow. Then I was maybe about 25% of the person I am now, however, I was truly happy, I had all my life ahead of me, unlike now. But I'd better live unhappy and die with dignity then end up like that. Heck, this is not an option for anyone.
 
you need some professional help. so does your sister.

schools offer that stuff for free usually.....

that being said.........my take on it.

some of this advice is good, some sucks. some people are just plain mean and insensitive. but tha'ts how it goes.

i think you hsould get some help, and while you are 17, and think you lived a long and horrible life, remember, you are only 17. you still have plently of time to do what you love and find things you enjoy. maybe helping your sis is something you can start out doing. i feel bad that you wake up every day all sad and stuff. i wake up each day happy and ready go to, and i love it.

but get some professional help, man.

You're going to need to learn this lesson eventually. *You* have to make your own way. *You* are going to have to hone your skills. *You* are going to have to survive somehow. Life has delt you a hand. Play it or leave the table.

wtf does water have to do with anything? stop it from clotting? if you cut enough stuff you're gonna bleed out no matter what.

Cutting a vein and not attempting to stop the bleeding will be surely deadly, no matter what happens.
