You won't be hospitalized unless the doctor thinks you will kill yourself or others, but the doctor could still suggest hospitalization. Because you can't escape what's triggering you, you may be able to convince the doctor to hospitalize you because you don't have a safe place.
You may or may not be able to get help without a parent. Here in Nashville, at 17 I can sign for my own prescriptions and stuff. Check the laws in your state.
I'm sorry you are going through this. I know how bad it feels to be alone and want to die.
I hope this all passes.
(:

Myka -
I'm so proud of you for reaching out. There's definitely a lot going on and the most important concern right now is your safety. If you feel like you can't keep yourself safe, you need to go into the hospital. In order to receive support from a specialist, you need your parents' permission. Please even consider talking to your school counselor or a teacher you trust.
Your peers have no right to treat you like that. School administration needs to know about the website. Please let school know as soon as possible.
Please don't hesitate to give the Boys Town National Hotline a call if you need to talk especially if you feel like hurting yourself. Counselors are available 24/7 at 1-800-448-3000.
LF, Counselor
