Q: Thirteen Female; My life feels boring but its not at all. There is something seriously wrong and I have no idea what it is. I use things as escapes like reading writing music sometimes even pot but those things ware off while I'm in school. I have no clue what’s wrong with me. I'm always frustrated, tired, tense and sketchy. I have tons of friends and my family life is perfect with the acceptation of my father but I can't blame everything on him. I know what your thinking-shrink. But see I’m not aloud to go to a shrink because of my father and issues so what do I do. My friends are all upper class richies who could never understand. I feel as if everything I do is inflicting pain on me and I can’t stand to even breathe anymore. My friend went to a hospital for depression but she’s fine. I just want to know what to do because all this makes me so out of it all the time and I really miss my friends and family. See there a rip in all this though because when I'm with this one guy I forget everything and I am all myself but at the same time I can't remember what I have to tell him but that's okay because he makes me feel okay. This is also a problem because we talk less and less every day so now I’m like dying. I rate high. And I really am not insane. Believe me.
Insanity has nothing to do with the way you are acting.

There are times in your life when you feel like nothing really matters and that's usually because you've lost somene or something really important to you or something has happened to make you depressed, or you can even feel this way when nothing has even happened.

I think you are escaping in great way aside from smoking pot. I think that you should bring attention this this method you are using to escape because it only makes you away from your problems in the moment, not forever.

You said that your family life is pretty good aside from your father. Instead of taking your problems to a therapist, try telling your mom what's going on. I know you might feel a little ackward and afraid of how she will react, but if anything, she'll be glad that you told her. If you find yourself depressed a lot and trying to get out of it, then you should try getting some help because you might be depressed. And who knows why you would have it, but you can for no reason and it could be your father's issues and how you find yourself blaming a lot of things on him.

Sometimes friends can really surprise you. There was a time when I thought my friends really wouldn't do a lot if I were upset and came to them for advice, but one day I was crying in school and I can't believe how much support I got that day and how many of my friends were wanting to take me to the counselor and talk to me. That's when I knew that if I really needed to talk to someone, I could always go to my friends for help. Friends don't have the solution to your problems, but they have emotional support by telling you that it's ok.

My name is Erin and I am now 18 years old. You may realize through out looking at my column, some of you love me and some of you flat out hate me. There's really no gray area with me I guess you can say.

I haven't given advice here in so long and it's only because I got caught up in life. But I'm more mature than I ever thought I could be.
So anyway I'm here again. It's been a long time, but I still love giving advice and still plan on it in the future.

Everyone should feel free to Private Message me for advice, I can be harsh, but I'm always trying to help someone by giving them the truth they need.
