Having you committed should be done under a trained professionals advice. Long ago they felt that a person healed faster/better in hospital/institutions, today we know better - thus so many health issues both physical and emotional/mental result in at home care/recovery.
Getting the help you need now at age 15 is only half the battle. The other have is you are going to have to work it, work with the therapist and try to figure it all out.
Its good your dad is supportive. I think he is trying to show you that he is willing to do anything - anything at all, to be your 110% parent.
I know it mayn't feel like it, but everything will get better. Things change - constantly. Its good you are willing to get the help and are making these positive steps, this will insure positive change.

I want to give you a great big hug! You are wise for talking about your depression with your parents. The most important thing in the world for you right now should be getting better. I know school is an issue, please, don't worry about it. In the long scheme of things you will be so much better off if you just focus on getting well than worrying about juggling school, society, and your depression. There have been times that my psychiatrist told me to go to the hospital if I ever felt like I wanted to hurt myself. I am going to recommend the same thing to you. They can fix things very quickly for you. If school and other things are stressing you out, maybe it is good to get away for a few days and just focus on getting better. Hospital stays because of depression are not weeks at a time anymore. They are three days tops so you can get back to your family and friends asap. If you are ever afraid that you are going to hurt yourself, please, go to a hospital, call your parents, and focus on getting better. This is your No. 1 priority.
With love and hope,
-Rob
God bless

Good job mate
Everyone here on GS is proud of you, speaking openly takes guts... Frankly you got more guts then me, none still knows about my suicidal attempts or even that I felt sad.
Your father seems very accepting, maybe you should come out to him when the timing is right
Just take your time.
Sometimes you need a bit of chaos in your life to be able to shrug off pitiful disdain about something meaningless.
