There are always going to be days when other people piss you off so bad you want them to go away, forever if possible. If you have low esteem, there is always the risk of depression and wondering what the world might be like if you weren't in it. (Since this is a good season for it, I recommend a little "It's A Wonderful Life" to show how that might work out.) Frustration and depression are common reactions, and nothing to feel alienated about.
However, wishing people dead seems counter-productive. Sure, you can fulfill your desire to end up like the protagonist from Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle", but dying isn't hard - everyone does that. Making something out of your life before you meet the Reaper is a better goal. And they do say that the best revenge on those who've hurt you is living well. So live, live well, and make them wish they'd lived like you.

EDIT: Forgot to say I'm from USA.

Remember that if EVERYONE dies, that means your mom won't be around to make breakfast, you can't get a game from the store 'cause no one's making them, and your house's utilities (electricity, gas, water) will shut off 'cause no one's running the power plants. Seriously, Vonnegut's book and "It's A Wonderful Life." Two polar opposites to look at.

Ever since i went into high school i feel all my inocents has been lost and i've turned into a depressed, angry, nerdy, anti-social, sick, evil basterd. I just hate every one. Every one should die in a whole even me. I have a hour bus trip home from school. This is when my feelings are at there strongest. Every one on bus is a dick. I have my reasons for hating every one but i think you guys could proberly guess them. So is it normal to have these feelings and are there other people out there like me? (Just to lighten up the mood a little i'm want to do a little survey. Could every one please put what country they come from at the end of their status? I don't any one bagging out peoples countries otherwise you will just make my hate grow). I'm from Australia.
So how many people are on your bus? 20? 30? That bus represents 0.00000000435% (as of 17:35 UTC (EST+5) Jan 01, 2011) of the total population of earth. Guess what? You're a teenager. These feelings are totally normal, but don't make the mistake of thinking that the dicks on your bus represent an accurate measure of the entire world. If these feelings don't subside, talk to a therapist, and please don't actually kill anyone. I'm from the U.S.A, by the way.

You're a hormonal teenager without the perspective required to understand that your immediate surroundings do not reflect the world at large. When older people tell you that you don't understand how the world works, they're not just jealous of your youth or blowing smoke up your shorts for their own amusement; they're right. I probably wouldn't have come out of high school alive if I hadn't come to the realization that high school is basically a cage where (most) parents put their teenage kids all day in order to not have to deal with them, and that the whole situation (outside of the actual learning, which is critical) is nothing more than a sad, self-perpetuating joke that will have NO bearing on your life once you've grabbed that diploma and walked out those doors for the last time.

United States, if you couldn't tell.

I can recall several occasions in the past which make me completely empathise with that sort of feeling.

I'm in college in England.

See a psychiatrist. That's not meant as an insult, just think it'd help and you're in need of it.

But yeah, schools are often populated by douchebags. Don't get me wrong, I've been in some emo/anti-social phases, but never even close to the point you're describing. Try to get some positive outlook on life, look for friends elsewhere if everyone in school is a jerk (though, while I believe an overwhelming majority is, I very much doubt all of them are, find a decent group of people and stick with them)

Contemplating suicide? That's normal for anyone your age. Contemplating the extinction of the human race? Not so much. You said it yourself, you're anti-social, plus a lot of other mean spirited personality traits you describe yourself as. That's probably a sign of self-hatred. So start showing yourself some love(but not to the point of conceit or narcissism) then work on trying to get people to respect you, because it's hard to like someone if that person can't like his/herself.

At the very least, get some psychological help. And don't say, "They won't understand!". They do understand because there are thousands, maybe millions out there who share those feelings about theirselves and the world, and they are used to those kinds of people.

No, it's not normal, however at the same time the attitude isn't all that uncommon today. Pretty much what your saying is you've become another angst ridden emo. People have written songs, books, and video games all about exactly how you say you feel. There are entire philosophies dedicated to nilhism, and plenty of "back to nature" organizations that when you get down to it pretty much preach that the best thing humanity could do morally would be to destroy itself. PETA at it's most extreme is one of those groups.

In the end you'll probably get over it.

Speaking for myself I went through a phase where I was pretty upbeat, then when I face a reality check I hit something similar to where you are now. I eventually settled into a middle ground position as a militant cynic. To put it bluntly I think 99% of the problems we face today are actually due to tolerance and compromise. Ideas meant to inspire peaceful co-existance have actually created an enviroment where such co-existance turns into everyone being uniformly miserable and up in everyone's faces. That and the simple fact that human life has increasingly little value because there are so many people, despite being social creatures there are limited resources even in the most advanced societies, and the end result is with everything so stretched we all wind up becoming entirely mercenary to each other even if blows chips. You might start out deciding you don't want to be that way, but as time goes on it becomes harder and harder not to be, I think a lot of people's problems today are that they want to be good people, but simply can't.

At any rate, if you listen to my political rants, you'll notice I tend to put morality and compromise on a back burner, argue in terms of "us or them", advocate mass murder and the destruction of entire cultures at times, and all kinds of things. That's because ironically I feel the greater good would be served by ceasing to try and balance and compromise everything. Not to mention that simply having less people on the planet would solve a lot
of problems we've got what? 12 billion people on the planet or something like that? Get rid of 8 billion of them through a good old fashioned global war of extermination, no matter who wins, and then do whatever it takes to prevent a reactive baby boom. That means less strain on resources, leading to less outright competition, and it also means that whomever wins can also then make some of those compromises and live and let live attitudes work a bit better.


Or simply put, even if it means my death, I believe an end to the world as we know it is good for everyone. I don't want everyone to die, but I believe most people should die. My opinions being based more on cold logic (which I'm not going to go into more detail on today) than anything. Emotive thinking is fine for some things, but I think not balancing it with enough reason has caused a lot of the problems we face now.

... and yes, in short what I am saying makes me a monsterous arsehole. It's kind of depressing when you realize that, but still feel your right.


I'm from the USA incidently.

Also going bt the news, if this is a recent thing for you, the flooding might have something to do with it. Everything I've said aside, natural disasters tend not to inspire positive and upbeat thinking, and I was reading stuff about parts of Australia being under like 8 meters of water.

most people in most schools are dicks but that shouldn't be how you judge the world just enjoy the time you have and if you meet a dick tell them they are a dick and/or ignore them.

I have an hour-long bus ride, and there are some people who are dicks, but in all actuality that time is great for meditation, sleeping, sorting through what happened that day and why I felt a certain way, etc. Very zen-like almost :)

Meh, I used to be similar to that in middle school, the trick is just sorting through what is just hormones, and what isn't, then trying to look at being positive when possible. Back then, I had a good few thoughts like that, nowadays? Not so much.

Also, you aren't very specified on WHAT causes you to feel that way, so not much I can say on that...

Secondary school was the bane of my life so far. I myself wanted several people to disappear and/or the school to burn down. It never happened though. You'll get over it.

No, that's not normal. You should probably go see a psychologist to sort through your feelings. Teenagers have a number of pressures from adolescence and hormones that can put quiet a bit of stress on them and make the world seem cruel but actually working through that rather then stewing would probably be helpful.

I wanted all of my school -bar my friends- to die too. I eventually grew out of those feelings though. If you have friends to help you through, you'll do fine, you can put those nasty feelings to one side.
When you get a bit older, you'll just want the people you've met and didn't like to die ;D

Militant misanthropy is not normal. To quote Albert Camus "...there is more in humanity to admire than to despise." Humanity is flawed, but that does not make us unworthy of preservation. USA

A 16(ish) year old metal head who plays games and hates everyone? Really?

Theres no reason to hate everyone dude, we're not all bad.
When did he say he was a metalhead?

I sense some latent hostility.

There's no reason to hate us dude, we're not all bad. ;)

Edit: To the op, no I don't hate everyone, or even that many people at all. You're just being melodramatic. But you're in high school, that's normal.

Uh.. wanting all humans dead, including yourself. Hmm... uh, actually, I think this might be one of those situations where I'm just not going to say what I wanted to. Instead, I'll go with the "yeah, high school does that to you" comments.

I had hateful feelings towards the entire human race, including myself in high school, especially the people around my age. If you feel like you're from a higher place than they are (not saying you do, just going by what I was like), you're going to be hateful towards them. You feel like they're underserving of the life they have and take for granted, then you hate yourself because you can't do a damn thing about it and you want to kill them because they're fucking retards and have no idea how to conduct themselves in a proper manner.

No, it's not normal to hate everybody, including one's self, but who's to say you're not allowed to.

Country: Australia.

EDIT: I guess I needed to vent some things, eh? Thanks OP.
