At your age I was a kissless virgin, depressed, suicidal, threatened by homelessness, unemployed, about to drop out of education, addicted to alcohol and felt destined to be unhappy forever.
The suffering was unbearable at times.
I already had chosen a bridge to jump from.

Today I'm happily married, in a fulfilling job, financially independent, and am at peace with my demons. The thing that turned my life around was telling myself "I don't care about life anymore, so nothing in life matters. Not even what my parents or anyone else thinks about me. So I might as well not give a fuck about their opinions, admit how weak I am, and ASK FOR HELP."

There is always hope. The only mistake in life you can't undo, the only thing that'll 100% keep you from achieving your goals, would be ending your life before you had the chance to blossom.
