Hmmm....that sucks really.

Well, how is easy. You just tell them, in the most honest and appreciative way you can. Appreciative in the sense that you have to let them know that you realize how big a disappointment it may be to them and all the effort they have put into helping you out.

Sadly there is no easy way and I expect this will weigh on your conscience for a while. But at the end of the day it's your life and it's not fair to yourself or to your parents to go on lying. Just make sure you have the right reasons for quitting like this. If in fact leaving school and doing something else is the right thing for you, trust me when you look back it will have been worth it.

I hope you win the battle with depression soon. You're a lovely girl and so many people here on TFP love you. I don't know how you feel but I think that for many of us the TFP is a great support and I only wish that through us (as well as out there in the "real" world) you can find the strength to choose your path in life.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
