Help!

I just turned 15 and I need help. I want a shoulder to cry on. I have had a bad run of life because of my parents. My dad cheated and stole all our stuff when I was 2 and my mom remarried. my sis has tried to kill me 4 times and my mom makes me do all the chores: sweeping and mopping, vaccuuming, dishes, and taking care of my now 11 month bro. My sis has an attitude every day which ends with me getting hurt. She's now 12 years old and acts like a toddler. And on top of it, no one knows i'm depressed. I tried to tell my mom but she got one of her tempers and said I only wanted attention. I've nearly ran away more than 10 times and thought of suicide countless more times. Talking to one of my friends helps, and I tried a therapist my stepdad took me to before he and my mom divorced and it helped a little. But what I really need is for my family to listen and support me but my mom's too uncaring and downputting and her bf is busy at work. Someone please help! I'm lost in a maze of life and the birds ate my bread crumb trail. I don't know what to do...

It's ok. I turned 15 a couple weeks ago. I don't really think it's a counselor I need. Have u ever felt that the only way ur gonna feel better is if ur family helps u with it? That's how it is, and I talk to my friends at school when it really bothers me but the only resolution I'll get is if my mom would listen and talk with me about it. And I would love to do anything after school as an escape but our only car isn't working properly so the only way home is the bus. I try biking but it's been either very rainy or hot as it's monsoon season and I'm in Arizona.

Sorry, I just saw that you are 15 years old.

Exactly how old are you? I know the feeling of having a down putting mother, making me do all of the housework and what not but she still complains that I don't do anything for her or the house. Are you in school? My suggestion would be to get involved with a sport, hobby or other activity that you might enjoy doing. Not only will it take your mind off of everything but it will also get you out of the house and also help you to make more friends. If you are in school, they should have a counselor, or someone there that you are able to talk to and let your feelings out to. I would try that, or seeing if they could help you find some help in that area.
