Okay well I'm almost 14 and I'm not really involved in any sports or activities. I tried out for modeling, the company wanted me,but they wanted too much money, so my mom said no. I was kind of crushed,but I got over it. But sometimes I just feel like the most boring person even though I know I can be fun, but when it comes to activies I dont do anything and seem really boring. At times I feel like a fat person who cant do anything. I feel sad and like I'm losing my mind. I feel stressed out and like I have too many things to do. I always have tons of projects and homework and chores. Honestly I feel like slacking off, because I get straight A's and I'm in an honors class. When it comes to my report card full of A's my mom nags me to bring them higher and I feel like I do all this work and she doesn't appreciate any of it. Me and my mom dont have much of a close relationship,because we just dont get along. Her personality doesnt fit mine at all and she knows that me and her act completely different, because she says it all the time, but I dont think she realizes that we dont get along. Also, I've had this secret for many years that's not about me and that only my parents know, but I think they've forgotten by now or dont think about it. Sometimes I think about it and it drives me crazy and eats me up inside. I want to talk to someone about it,but I feel like if I did something bad might happen and it would be all my fault. My mom asked me about a year ago if I wanted to see a psychiatrist and I just laughed about it and said no, but now I think I might want to take her up on that offer, but I'm not sure if I need to see one, because its not like I have some serious mental problems. The main reason I could see myself talking to one is because of how I dont feel happy with myself and a big secret that no one knows. Does it sound like I need help? Or i dont know, just tell me what you think. (link)
its hard to feel like you fit in with a world of materialisic pretty people. but somewhere you belong. if you like acting you can join a drama club at school or something. as for the grade issues..i have the exact same problem. i am very smart and in AP and im taking college courses at a private college but it never seems like enough for her. ive learned that you cant do everything for other people though or else you will never be happy. you have to feel proud of yourself and not worry about what she thinks. its hard but in the end it makes your life so much happier.

pertaining to the secret and the therapist: this is a whole different opinion i have. i believe that EVERY teenager could benefit from a therapist. i have been for other reasons but i found that my therapist not only helped with my problem but raised my self esteem and put me at ease when no one else can. its an amazing thing. please...go to one :) even if there is no big problem every teenager has to face difficulties in life. not every therapist is right for you. i went through 3 different ones before i found one that truly connected with me...search and you will find..
i have a secret that i just came out about and telling that secret allowed everyone else to see why i was so depressed and it helped me cope with my depression. so even if you dont tell others you can at least tell your therapist :)

i know this is long...sorry but i feel like talking to you could really be of help..so feel free to contact me
