Alright...well lately, i think im depressed.

i make the biggest deals out of everything.
i feel like everyone hates me.
i dont think im pretty whatsoever.
i suck at school.
im fat

K well what I think is cuasing this is:
-My freinds leave me out 90% Of the time. (mainy becuase of bball which is ending soon. also, my two best friends always hang out..without me...) This makes me feel like total sh!+. they say stuff like, ur a loser..and lately, ive been taking it seriously...and ic ant help it.i dont feel like i fit in with anyone.


ok i relaly dont think im pretty whatsoever.

ive been getting bad grades in just abotu everything. or, what i think is bad grades; ,more like 70's & 80's. i know i can do better, but i dont feel motivated. i just want to sleep....

i think im fat. im 5'2 & am 125.....

i have a lot of famiyl problems... my mom is "depressed" too...my dad has epilepsy so hes home all the time....my grandfather passed away ( i was very close to him)....and my aunt is in a coma for the rest of her life (i was starting to get close to her too)....


so ... what do you think? am i depressed?
please help me... (link)
like one of the people said, you arent fat. maybe you just appear to be kinda like.. chunky, but you're relatively light. Because muscle weighs more than fat, so if you become heavier but it doesnt really appear that you are, but you still think you're fat, you're not. its just the muscle.

im sorry about your losses and family. if you want to see things go better, try doing random acts of kindness for them. like for your mom, maybe like.. make her breakfast one morning, or give her a hug, or something she likes. for your dad, well.. i dont really know what to say, but just be a good kid and not cause too much problems for them in general. why is your mom depressed? is it because of you? if it is, shes probably worried about you if you show your family your depressed side too, and she wants you to be happy. for everyone else, just know that they'll always be in your heart, and in the future the strength you gain from that will outweigh the bad.

okay this is kinda my preference, but those grades arent horrible, but you want to achieve higher. i dont really know what to say to keep you motivated.. you're probably not feeling motivated because youre depressed so your like "whats the point in studying?" and such. i dont even like studying. but like.. just work hard or after high school, you'll end up in a crappy home and live a crappy life. no offense or anything, but its just facts. okay maybe im exaggerating, but grades are REALLY important. in every grade. because what you do in 1 grade affects the next. if youre in middle school dont be like "who cares, it only counts in high school" because you can fail middle school and repeat (again im exaggerating. your grades arent THAT horrible.. but not exceptional either.) and you could get put in a lower class and not get in honors in high school, which affects how much you learn, and your grade on the SATs, and etc. Everything ya do counts, in general.

Okay people all look different but we all have something pretty about us. Get a makeover and you'll appreciate yourself better. You may not even be as bad as you think you look. Dont compare yourself to others because you are yourself and like.. dont try to fit in but dont try to be so outrageous that it scares people.. well actually you can, but still have good manners atleast. Anyway, people like people not just because they are pretty. Having confidence and a good personality among other things really attracts others. And friends... are just needed to have a good life.

For the friendship problem, i wouldnt say to drop them, because in my opinion i think its best to keep alot of friendships, unless you cannot forgive the people, and you really dislike them. why are these 2 your BFs if they leave you out and call you names you dislike?? dont keep them so that you can feel secure because they're your friends. think. do you honestly think these should be your best friends forever? try making new friends.. dont change yourself to fit others personalities. you want friends that love you for who you are, so you dont have to worry about acting a certain way and you'll just have more fun. also, its more interesting to be different and unique than be exactly identical to a friend. we're all different anyaways. just be friendly, say hello, smile and mean it, appreciate the little things in life, and well.. BE YOURSELF, BABE!

i make big deals out of things too. sometimes i lack confidence, or think im fat, etc. your not the only one.. i dont think your depressed, but like your not being very positive about the situation. maybe if you had a better attitude about things, things wouldnt be so hard for you. except the family part, but that wasnt really your fault. you have to be mature and like deal with that.. its good because it teaches you to be like mature and stuff as a kid, and bad because well.. its not fun. try going on a vacation, having a little time for yourself, or like join clubs or sports (that you like) to make more friends, and such.

good luck! :]

(hahah i know this was hella long but hopefully its worth it. send me a message if this helped!!)
