An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
Okay, so, I'm fairly new here, and I didn't really read a whole lot.
I wasn't aware you're just 15 years old. This puts the adults among us into an especially difficult situation.
On one hand I don't and can't judge or even compare your suffering. I mean, I'm not you, and I suffered severely already when I was your age.
On the other hand, depending on your situation, there could be a lot of potential ahead of you to live a happy life, provided you get the help and support you need.
Sorry if I'm going on your nerves, but yeah...

Don't know what happened with the whole pro choice thing. "... I know you don't want to do this" doesn't sound like Sanctioned Suicide, @Mr2005 : /
I understand age matters to some, but I don't think it does as much to the person who wants out. Then where is the age limit? 18? 21? 30? 50? 65? ..and why?
Sure, I also think 15 is too young. But so is 27, which is my age. And I appreciate people not telling me that.
Peace.
And best of luck, dabedoc.

Not at all. I agree. I'm very strongly for pro-choice but for consenting adults @naia_ unless there is a terminal illness, there should be no reason it had to be done now. The age should at least be an adult.
@dabedoc you do not need to do this yet. Just wait a bit longer... Try and change your life a little bit first. Call a help line anonymously, drop out of school, get a job, move out of home, run away from home and start a new life somewhere else. There's lots of other options you can try first. I have never said anything like this before, I certainly am not pro-life, because everyone has a right to die, but maybe you could try something else and postpone for a while? I'm sorry but I cannot support you. 15 is simply too young to know that you have tried everything else and your life really is over. Please call a help line anonymously or talk to someone. Please reconsider. We are here if you need to talk.

I really understand where you're coming from, s_girl and I appreciate you being here to state the opinion. My point is simply that it's impossible for us to globally agree what an adult is, then. Example - girls at age 11, 12, 13 are being legally married in different countries - while you in the west I presume, would say that only adults should be able to marry. This site is world wide and putting a number/age on the limit to when it's ok to end a life is not exactly what has been done here. Other wise we'd have to admit and prove our birth date when we join the site.
I agree 15 is terribly young. I wouldn't encourage a 15 year old to ctb! But then again... I wouldn't encourage anyone.
Hi.
I am sorry you feel the need to ctb at such and early age and life has been so unkind to you that it has pushed you to this extreme.
I do understand others opinion when they say you are so young and you do potentially have your whole life ahead of you but no one is in your shoes and knows your suffering and pain.I am not familiar with your story and I Will not try to influence your decision as it is ultimately your decision but please think of all your options if you haven't already.
I wish you well in your choice.x

It´s better doing it young while fueled by hormones and life is only gonna get worse and after 20 when the hormones start to slow down there just isn´t the same drive I will say 15 is the perfect age.
Well, I am honestly tired of replying to the comments above asking why at such a young age. There's potential and all that. What proof do you have that my life will get better? well, you don't first of all. What if I end up being more hopeless than I am right now. Anyways, to make this more clear. I am not fueled by my hatred for not getting loved or anything but due to the ignorance and society. For all those that are saying, you are young and things can be changed. You cannot change a society in a day or two. It takes years at the least and even then it is not sure if it's gonna be for the good or bad. I don't have the right to express myself without filters. I don't have the right to die. I don't have the right to perform anal or oral (yeah sounds ridiculous but check the law for it in India that bans it due to it being "unnatural"). I don't have the right to tell anyone that they are wrong because muh offended special snowflake, I don't have the right to freedom because muhh government can ban my rights any time. I might not even have the right to breathe in the future. Who knows?
Am I what - livestock? or human?
This isn't what I really expected. Again, the whole opinion thing pushed on me. "hey you are young, you have potential" is not what someone would want to hear anyways at least here.
I'm sorry if you feel misunderstood or disrespected, and I want to make clear that I don't think there can be an age limit for the right to die. That's ridiculous.
I do take your suffering and general experience seriously.
Ultimately it's the sufferer who should decide. Your suffering, your life, your choice.
And yes, I don't know what your future may hold (to be fair, neither do you). Heck, I know basically nothing about you. Only you can assess your situation here.
Sorry if what I said seemed like bullshit bingo to you.
Just understand that we as adults have a special responsibility for underage people on here, and the right to die for young people is, as you can see, a highly controversial and complex issue, even on here. It isn't taken lightly, and rightfully so, as this is one of the most important decisions of your life, possibly your last, so understand where I am coming from.
Lastly I'd like to say that you do seem mature for your age, and I assume your decision is well thought through and not a rash impulse. As hard and tragic this is, I respect your autonomy.
Well, thanks for saying that. I appreciate it. Yeah, I have spent enough time thinking about my situation. I certainly believe that no matter how good of a life I live, I will still be tired of it. 2 years are enough to think it thorough.
