You know what?!?! Why bother living?!?! It has nothing to offer. I'm never going to amount to anything. Let's just end it all. What's the point.
I've been in moods like that when I was your age, but those of us with AS are creatures of logic, and my logical mind always prevailed.
Here are the things it tells me....
1. People kill themselves to escape situations, but this makes no sense because you cannot feel a sense of escape or relief when you are dead.
2. You don't really want to die, you just want to be out of a crappy situation.
3. You are in the physical process of becoming and adult and the hormones which drive this process cause small problems to seem difficult, and large problems to seem like the end of the world.
4. It's highly unlikely that your situation or mood will persist. Your situation and perception will change as you age and time progresses. The universe is not a static place.
So you see, killing ones self is illogical. Even if you have no control over your situation, the universe and time alone will eventually take you out of it. It is like traveling through space. You travel through rough patches and travel through pleasant patches.
