Hi I am only (age) but I am already suicidal. The reason is because a boy ‘friend’ told my older brother that the person I have a crush on has a crush on me and assumes we are in a ‘relationship’. Now my older brother says that to my mom. My mom wont let me go to the clubhouse where I see him. My mom only let me go there because of flores de mayo(My mom is religous) and now flores de mayo is done so I cant see him now. What do you think I can do?
