PUBERTY ALERT

You should try it

When I was depressed (forced back into private school, was horrible, no friends, etc.), I usually just sat down and relaxed. Maybe catch up on a book or read ahead in my Language Arts textbook. I get so lost in it I usually forget. Or you could go my current way and be an asshole to everyone you hate (subtly make fun of them, "accidentally" drop push their stuff on the floor, take their things like erasers or pencils). Works great if you're on good terms with the teachers/supervisors.  

Thanks for the advice everyone. I thought about most of the post on here,I will most likely try to follow through on them. Hopefully they"ll help me.

Pedo alert

****** alert you broke my radar  

I used to be shy few years ago but i've always had some friends. Puberty helped me a lot. After it i was much more comfortable and less shy. I know it's hard to overcome shyness but try to go speak with people that seem nice and just speak normaly, without acting shy or "blocked". If somebody invites you to a party and you're "scared" to go there make an effort and you won't regret it. Try do activities such as sport. The most important thing is to make an effort even if you don't feel doing it (such as going out with friends etc). Of course it's always good to speak with adults or specialists as it can only bring positive things. Don't worry it almost always gets better when you get older and don't forget there is always somebody that has the same passion/personality and would love to be your friend.

Best advice is go see a doctor.

What the hell is a doctor going to do?
No doctor is going to prescribe a 13 year old anti-depressants nor does she need them.  

Its hard to be serious when you don’t know if people are trolling you but im a go ahead and give my advice.

First and most important thing is to understand that battling depression is going to take some time. This aint going to go away overnight. Just like losing weight it takes time and effort to resolve the problem.

So heres what you do. You find the closest community center with a boxing program. Then you talk to your parents about letting you joined their boxing program. If they agree to let you do it I suggest you try it out for a couple moths and put all your effort into it. Boxing will help you in many ways to deal not only with depression but with life in general. If you have weight issues this is one of the best ways to get fit and live a healthier life style. If one of the problems is people bullying you this will give you the tools to beat them down. (im not promoting violence but people usually don’t bully people that could kick their butts). If you don’t have friends maybe this will help you on getting some. Boxing programs usually have a 0 tolerance on bullying and promote respect amongst each other.

There’s a saying that says “you’re as beautiful as you feel” so instead of calling yourself ugly try calling yourself beautiful.

Also don’t worry about having a lot of friends. If you talk to 100 people in school it doesn’t mean you have 100 friends. A real friend is a person that will be there when you really need them. Even in a life time people only get a handful of real friends.

If you learn how to ignore the negative stuff people say about you, it will make your life better. Don’t worry about what people think about you, the important thing is that you’re happy with who you are.

Swy if my writing sucks its not my thing  

There must be programs at your school to help you with these kinds of problems.  

The best advice anybody will ever give you is that if you stay positive it will get better.  

I'm not good with advice, but hope you overcome your depression! it sucks!!

Glad to see the graalian community try to help you with your situation!


stay positive! =)  

never open up to people cause most of the time they'll judge you. ive never been depressed but when i used to feel lonely i just listened to "the motto-drake"..not even kidding but just saying the word yolo makes me smile.

fun fact: A gentle smile will relax you and lift your mood (even if you fake it)

Probably save a life.
Worst decision is not finding help.

Best idea is to see a Therapist, not a doctor. Many medications, not specifically anti-depressants but other psychological meds come with a 'black box warning'. What this entitles, is a higher chance of suicide. Not to mention 2000 other things.
