So to start off I'll tell you that I have been depressed since 6th grade, 8th grade I started cutting, I stopped cutting for my ex and cutted ever so often by ,my junior year I had to stop cutting for my boyfriend because it scares him cause he thinks I will kill myself. So recently I have been just going to school then going to work then going to sleep only eating one meal a day. The reason I'm depressed is because my family... I'm always the target and I never get a break when I'm trying to do my school work at school I get texts saying that I need an attitude adjustment and that I need to get my priorities straight and that everything is my boyfriend and my fault when it's not we stick to ourselves. My family constantly brings me down and my sister hits me. I can't confront them without getting yelled at... I have tried.. They make me want to die. And to make my depression worse, i don't get to see my boyfriend a lot he is just the one who drives me everywhere and actually gets me things.. He provides for me more than my own family. I have no where to live besides at my house but I don't know how much I can take. Please help me if u have questions I'll answersthem..

This is my opinion, so take it lightly.

I totally empathize with you, I'm a little older but I have a similar experience (sans boyfriend). I think you need a safe haven, it could be hard because I don't know what it's like for you as a high school student (assuming that you still are). Maybe you have to spend more time outside of the home, like at the library, places where you could receive tranquility. As for your family's texting, are they texting during your school hours? If so, that is an impediment to your progress as a student, put your phone on airplane mode, tell your friends if they want to talk to you, they can find you in x location during y times, if necessary.
