Find someone to talk to ....and not necessarily about the immediate crisis. Talk about whatever you need to at that time, the crisis, the future, the ugly paint in the hs gym...anything. If you have come this far, you can hang on to get to college. If all else fails, ask yourself if you can get through the next 15 minutes (or half hour, whatever). The smaller increments of time seem more doable than longer stretch until college, and time passes in small increments, not all at once. I know it sounds crazy, but it works, I've had reason to try it.

Good Luck.
