You would be suprised how many of these teens would have thought about it, maybe not seriously, but at least thought about it because their life isnt going how they want it.
yes, i personally know some girls and guys who have tried to suicide before, for thousands of different reasons, so they obviously understand me, at least half part, and they also don´t agree to what i want to do(to kill myself).

Okay, well as others have said I guess you've put some thought into this decision and it sounds like many folk have tried to talk you out of it, so I won't ramble on but here's a few things to consider:
1. You're 18. How can you come to the conclusion that you will never be able to afford to be a race driver? Do you work? Are you still in school? What have you done to work towards your goal?
2. You don't have a terminal disease. I know two people who have untreatable terminal diseases who have had to go through the process of coming to terms with their imminent death.
3. Family and close friends. What about those close to you? Have you considered the impact this has on them? How are they to deal with this decision, how are they to make sense of it. An action that takes you as little as a few minutes will impact the rest of their lives it will permanently alter the lives of those who love you.
4. What have you got to lose by living. If you are "strong" enough to take your own life then surely you're strong enough to give your life to get your goal. If my only ambition in life was to become a race driver then I can assure you I would attempt to move heaven and earth to get there. Have you written to every car manufacturer and race team on the planet yet? Have you knocked on all the doors you can get to on your limited budget? Have you made some kind of resume noting your skills? Have you actually done everything you can to get to your goal?
5. What have you got to gain by dying. Without getting into a religious discussion, what do you believe is going to happen to you once you're dead?
I know others have spoken to you about this but I don't think your decision has had enough thought behind it. Unless you're leaving out something from your reasons it is an incorrect decision for you to come to. You should consider carefully the points I've raised.
Well, first of all i think its quite impossible, at least in my monetary conditions, to be earning around 7 - 10 k or more, with 20, 25 years old or even 30. When i can´t earn this, then i can´t start on karting, because the good karting champs and the ones you start with are ALOT expensive also and, many of you guys know that, the start is always for YOURSELF, you pay it, to later, after some seat time, after some wins, after some etc, then you will look for sponsors, wich is hard to acquire but POSSIBLE.
I have talked to many people and almost all the type of drivers and people yet. From seeing their situations, from talking to them, listening to their opinions, i´ve got the conclusion that i have basically no chances to grow up in motorsport. My only wish and dream was to find a way to start, then, to have chances to win races or the championship at least, even 2 % of chances. So, i would work like the hell to be the champion, and so to grow up and go to a better category. But this is out of my monetary reach.
Many of you guys know what i said about the drivers of today. What you see in F1 and in many(if not all) categories of motorsport is drivers(not all of them, but a great part for sure)that are rich enough to start, drivers that have a whole enterprise paying his expenses on the start and on his whole career, drivers who are not that much good but they have unbelievable sponsors on their back or even, some drivers that are thousands of years racing and racing, but they are rich and they are so bad that they can´t grow up(like alex yooung and thomas enge)!
Saying that "oh you have to work for it, to fight for it" is not that simple, as to give a fast lap around the circuit. Sometimes you have to think that maybe you can work for it and earn 20k because you´re in a different condition, maybe sometimes if you had born rich enough, so you don´t need to work for it and you can have an unbelievable start of career with top equipments and an amazing racing team(if not your own team, like Nelson Piquet Jr. had done in F3).
Well, i think i had said most of what i remembered, but thats what i think of it at least.
Its not worth gettin banned over!!
