cfboy--DON'T YOU GIVE UP! I'm 44 years old with CF. I know there are varying degrees of the disease. But don't give up. You have family fighting for you everyday. YOU have plenty to offer. There is more love around you could possibly know. There are always new medication and breakthoughs.
I know that some folks in school don't understand. Sometimes they say cruel things but they are scared as well. They are not mature enough to handle such things. Remember, not one person is genetically perfect. They all will have health issues as they age. Trust me on that one.
Please don't even think of killing yourself --EVER! Talk to your family and your real friends. Hang in there. We are all fighting this battle together.

Wow. Okay I didn't read everything between the first post and now, so I'll just answer your question as me.<br><br>
I'm actually quite shocked, because I asked, to the letter, the EXACT same question when I was 16. I got really depressed, I hated life, I hated CF, I hated myself, I almost hated God.
The ONLY reasons I didn't kill myself was because I was terribly afraid of Hell. And I didnt want to hurt those around me. "What is the point of living in this life, if you're going to die anyway, I just want to go to heaven right now". That is what I said every day, every night when I would go to bed I BEGGED God to kill me in my sleep. <br><br>
Theres a whole long story to this, and I ended up getting addicted to certain things, dropped out of highschool and hurt many people around me.<br>
But one day I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror, and I didn't even know who I was anymore. I had gotten so obsessed with death and anger that I forgot my purpose, and I forgot myself.<br><br>
I kind of made a deal with God, and my own head. And I was like "Okay, I can either sit here and mope my whole life just waiting to die, or I can just decide that FOR SOME REASON God put me on this earth. I'm not dead yet, so I'm not going to waste time thinking about it, I'm just going to trust that God put me here for a reason, and go on with life, and hopefully fulfill all his plans for me."
I trust God completely, I don't really know why, but I do. I suppose I kind of have to. Either I trust God, and trust that he has a plan for me/will take care of me, or I spend my whole life moping waiting to die. So I'm going to make the best of what I'm given, and when it is my time to die, I believe I will die no sooner and no later than when I have fulfilled my purpose on this earth. And I'm content with leaving that decision up to God.
Right before I turned 20 I went back and finished highschool, I've had cool jobs, I've traveled, I've lived an AMAZING life for an almost 21 year old. I've seen things and experienced things that nobody will ever see or experience in two lifetimes. I'm not suicidal, I'm not HOPING to die, I've given all that up to God, when it is my time, I'll go. And I'm okay with that.
