I'll tell you what my mental reflexes tell me, deal with it.
The world doesn't give a fuck about your or anyone else's self-esteem, the sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll learn to disregard the existance of depression.

Professional counseling can be handy for that. Not a shrink; just a counselor. There's a difference.
What made you think that was going to be the right answer, anyway?imacharginmehlaz0r said:
I know how it is to go through ruts of depression, and I found that talking to people about what's been bothering you, even if it's just to get it off your chest. If you want, PM me and I'll do the best I can to help you sort things out.
Good thing you're too young to drink; alcohol is a depressant anyway. Being drunk isn't a solution. Nicotine, while a stimulant, is also a bad solution. Try spending time outside with friends.
what do you think is causing all, if not most, of the problems? if you guessed global warming you are correct.ellimist337 said:

This is perhaps the least useful thing to tell someone who is depressed I can think of (seriously, that's kinda like skipping to a crippled person in a wheelchair and dancing while saying, 'What's the matter Ironside? I'll race ya').kommando367 said:
Everyone does suffer from moments of depression from time to time and to my knowledge the best method of coping with it is to do anything you find enjoyable and focus on that (not a fool-proof plan, but it's a start).
To OP: why exactly are you depressed? All you've said is that you're down and that you allegedly have a good reason for it.
I usually just go for a long walk during mid-day. Either that or listen to some awesome music for a good long while, relaxed.
Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it doesn't.

you see friends, a few months ago my dad became obsessed with a substance that goes by the name of alcohol. he drank it every night before he went to bed and woke up irritable and just a general asshole. so after about a month of this, my father flipped out and threw my mother out of the house. she was out for about 5 days, until she came back and kicked him out. he lived with my uncle for about 4 months while he worked it out and got over his addiction. he finally came home 2 months ago and things have been alittle better but not so much. well i've gotten over that but heres where my problem lies. my ex girlfriend WAS like my best friend ever. until one day she told my she's trying to get her parents divorced. now, she was my support all throughout the time of my parents, so i don't even know why she would tell me something like that. well i made one comment and she flipped out and told me i ruined her life. wellllll, my best friend ever, who's name is ashley because her name will probably come up a few times, said she would talk to my ex girlfriend, bridget, because exgirlfriend is to wordy for my liking. so ashley called bridget, and then called me back saying i was the one being an asshole. then i had my friend rudy text her mean things, but he ended up becoming best friends with her other friend. so now the only real friends i have either are now bridgets friends, or hate me, and every other "friend" i have is an inconciderate bunghole who just makes fun of my and calls me a pussy for needed someone to talk to. me and ashley are a little better but bridget still hates me and my friend rudy is torn, because all of bridgets friends hate me. there is also this other girl, meghan, who i've been talking to. now in my school i'm chacterized as an emotionless gorilla. but that isnt the case. so meghan started talking to me in school and people started assuming i like her, which i kind of did. but she cares about her image alot so now she refuses to talk to me.
Another BS solution. You need to talk with someone. None of this online asking for advice shit. A real flesh and blood person. You don't have any you trust enough to lay out your soul so to speak. Meet some. Take an interest of yours, find other people (real live people) in your community or your school with the same interest (just one, simple interest) and if they do not already get together, well then get them together at least once a week. Computer club, art, sex talk, sports games, hell bring all your computers to each others house once a week and play a game, whatever it is you want to do.dalek sec said:
Aside from this one interest these are likely to be very different people, and you know what? The conflict form the different personalities is actually healthy for you. It will crop up more in early relationships and you will be more willing to deal with it in a normal manner (versus someone you trusted, where you will be more likely to blow it out of proportion).
It helps you to deal with other peoples shit.
Even people who are nearly identical in tastes will eventually find disagreement if they know each other long enough. Should you not know how to resolve these disagreements, or cannot learn to brush off the occasional harassment, life is not going to be very pleasant. The ones that do know how to do that, are going to seem in the right, and are going to leave with your circle of friends. Whining to the others is only going to further distance you from them.
Think of this what happens when a person breaks up with a long time girl friend. They have to divide the friends as well. There is going to animosity there and that is going to force the group of friends to take sides. Sucks doesn't it?
Give my advice up there a chance, I am willing to bet that by the time you are close enough with those people you meet and befriend to share with them your feelings you won't even feel the need to do so anymore.
Edit: I posted this before I read his comment detailing the reasons why. I was going to do a little minor editing due to the fact that now I knew the cause of his depression, but on rereading it I figured what the hell it was still good advice. And damn close to the actual reason for his depression.
You've probably figured it out by now, but that would be where you screwed the pooch on this one.imacharginmehlaz0r said:
So, what's the solution? You find a new group of friends to hang out with that you can actually talk to. Since your in high school, my immediate recommendation is the theater kids. They're weird, but damn do they know how to provide sympathy/comfort.
