How Can You Find an ONline Mentor?

Question by Emma: How Can You Find An ONline Mentor?
[rewrite]I am 14 and I have 8 mental illnesses. I struggle with eating disorders, cutting, and suicidal ideation. I often feel so alone, because my parents don’t love me. They tell me how worthless I am, and once even told me to just go kill myself. . . It hurts. I don’t have friends. I isolate myself. But, I really want a mentor figure in my life. Is there a program that matches adults online with struggling youth, like myself?
