advice

so latly i've been feeling like there really isn't any reason to live life and keep on living... i don't know why but i'm just depressed and don't really know what to do about it. i haven't changed anything, i've just been living life... but the longer i do the more i feel like it's just kind of pointless.... so what do i do? what can i do?

You said that you haven't changed anything... try to. I don't mean change the world, but you can change a person's life. One thing that you could do would be to befriend a person that doesn't have any. Have you seen the Rachel's Challenge thing? We had an assembly at our school, and it was about the life of a girl called Rachel Scott who was killed in the Colombine shootings. One thing that she did was become friends with a boy who had a mental disability, and was constantly picked on. The boy was contemplating suicide before, and Rachel's friendship gave him something to live for. My point is, a friend can really save a life. So be one. It really will be worth it.

Also, you should do what the other person said. Live life to it's fullest. Go on a roadtrip, bungee jump, whatever. Do something that you've always wanted to do. Or, make sure you do something cool like that once a month. It will give you something to look forward to.

Think of someone you really look up to. Maybe its an older sibling or something. Someone who sets an example for you; someone who you wish you could be like. Chances are, whether or not you know it, there's someone who looks up to you like that. And they'd listen to what you say, so make them end up being a good person. I don't know if you have a younger sibling or not, but I'm going to use that as an example. Would you really want them to turn out with lots of problems? Being a druggie, or involved with really bad people? You're the person that can keep them away from all that. You're the person who will really affect what happens to them.

And think about the people that love you. Your family, friends, maybe a boyfriend. Aren't these people worth living for?


You said that you weren't really sure what the point of living was. I believe that we live for eachother. We live to help eachother, and receive help in return. We're supposed to make the world a better place for our children and the generations that follow.
