Hi there Joshua
My name's Tay, I'm 15, and I'm a Buddy here on TeenHelp. TH is a wonderful, awesome, and safe place to be, this coming from the girl who has been loving it here for a year
There's a lot to do here, like posting in the Support Forums, which there are several of, depending on what advise you're looking for, or just want to vent or express yourself
There's also a Chat Room that you could enter, talk to people on here as well. Please don't hesitate, we don't bite... much 
If you ever have any questions, or just need a friend to talk to, I'm always here
If you do want to message me, you can click either one of these: PM or VM
well with that being said, hey
... I think maybe you need a hug
you see, I read your post. And maybe it doesn't seem like it right now, but there is always a reason to live. Otherwise, why would you still be here? I guess I don't know your beliefs, but God or life or fate or whatever you want to believe in, it wouldn't have put you on earth if it thought you would fail. Life gives challenges to the strong, because the strong are the ones who will make it through. And... maybe you need someone to tell you that you aren't alone. You don't have your family anymore, and I can't say that I know how that feels. I can't, and I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm asking you though, please, to reach out. When I saw your post tonight, I thought about my life, how badly I wanted to kill myself all day today, well... all day every day really, and it makes me so... angry with life that so many people are suffering who don't deserve it, and I should be grateful for what I have and what I've overcome, you know? That's kind of what brought me here, because I really want you to know that... someone, somewhere, would care if you left. And if you don't believe me, then here. I am that person. I would care. And many more would too, I guarantee it. Money, death, depression, loneliness, whatever it may be, please stay strong, because there's something inside of you that has kept you here this long. Reach out, talk to someone, whether it be someone here on TeenHelp (and again, I'm always here), or a suicide hotline, or a neighbor or a specialist in your town. Friend, teacher, someone. I agree with whoever posted on your thread, it could be depression, and I know how hard it can be to deal with, and the best thing to do is tell someone. Please... you aren't alone. And your life is worth more than you think.
....okay.... so now. How are you doing?
