Well, shooting yourself in the head would be quick, but messy. Pills, if you get the right kind, might be a slow way to go, but peaceful.JzzTrump22 said:I really felt like killing myself at that point. Any body have some advice.... or comfort?

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Here it is, just in case you decide to go external later:

To be honest, I think you were right about going for the combo drive. I rarely use my superdrive and, with the low prices of external hard drives, making DVD backups has lost a bit of its appeal.

I think some people are forgetting how advanced the personal computer has become over the past years. Just because it is a teenager sitting behind the computer does not mean he/she cannot do same or better work than an adult. Macs, especially, have made such "professional" tasks such as video-editing and graphics really available to the keen-to-learn teenager.
I have been editing video ever since iMovie first came out, and moved on to Final Cut when version 2 came out. And the skills I acquired from these past years has made filmmaking both my hobby and a possible career for me. And none of this would have been possible if my parents had not supported me by buying me an iMac G4. My previous computer would just have not cut it. And definitely not a PC, which I would hate using and would not be as easy to use as the Mac. By purchasing an iMac for me, just with that one purchase (albeit a huge one), my parents have secured my career choice. I am the ONLY one in my grade who knows what he will be doing in college and most probably after that. Of course, there are all the chances that I might screw up, or things might not work out, but that is a risk we must take as a family, both me risking my career and my parents risking their efforts.
And the truth is, my experience has helped me feel comfortable in my daily life, as I do not have to worry about what I will be doing in the future. I don't have to linger about hopelessly. I can move on in a straight path for the next two years until I graduate. And that just might let me have a lead over the other guys who don't know what they're doing, as I know exactly what I have to do.
The most important thing, though, is the support and love I have received from my parents throughout the years. I feel they have brought me up as a responsible, mature 15 year-old, and I will forever be in their debt. And, thus, I will give my best to become someone they can be proud of.
