Okay lately I've been feeling extremely depressed. Here's what's been going on...
Ive just finished 9th grade and it's now summer. Well, half way through my 9th grade year after being in a private prep school (one of the top in the nation) my parents pulled me out because I felt like I didn't have any friends. So they pulled me out and put me into a magnet public school with the IB program, and I've made like only one friend here too. So now that I am realizing that the problem is more about a change from me than a change of a school, I feel really stupid about making my parents change my school as I honestly do not feel much happier here, and I wish they knew what was best for me and just made me stay at the private school. Question is...what do I do for next year. Stay in the same school, go to a different private school, I'm not sure. & what should I do to feel happier and less alone. I literally spend every weekend with my parents/on the computer. I seriously have no life, I am very depressed, and I see so many other people having lives (their pictures on myspace) and it makes me feel so crappy. Please give me some advice. Thanks soo much.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
first of all, i know how you must be feeling. on of my friends went throught the same thing, and she was soooooo sad. it feels like you just want to break free from everything and just like be wild. at least, thats prolly how i would feel. so, you don't know wat to do for next year. well, can you go back to the private school you were at before? would they let you back in? or, what if you just went to a regular school? just a public school? that could work. i go to a public school, and i have LOTS of friends. that may not be why, but i know a lot of nice people. the thing is though, no matter where you are, you could just be different from people. that's okay! trust me, some of the nicest people i know are "different" (their cool...they just speak their mind) and if you just be you, there's nothing to stop people from wanting to be your friend! and don't judge people by their myspaces. that's just crap. sure, they're fun, but they don't mean anthing. now, if you wanna have a "life" try calling someone and asking them if they wanna go to a movie or something, i know that's hard, but it just might be worth it. call someone who might not be your 'friend' but is pretty close. you said you have one friend at your school you just left? call em! go have a really good time with that friend. see if they can introduce you to more people. and, try not being to close with your parents. your in ninth grade. are you 14? 15? your old enough to do stuff by yourself. so go have fun with someone. first, make a list. mental or an actual list of people who probably wouldn't mind hanging out with you. then, call. call the person you think would be best. and if they can't, keep calling. then, even if you are sad/nervous, try as hard as you can and be the happy person around them. show them you are fun, and that you would be a good friend. it will be hard, and possibly slightly uncomfotable, but try. be bold!!!!!!!! lol.
this is hard. i understand, i really do. and i hope i helped.

If you think you would be happier back at the private school, then tell your parents how much of a mistake you made by wanting to leave, after you realized how things turned out. If you want to stay in the same school, then do as you please.
I'm sure you had friends there, and you were probably happier there than you are now, sitting with your parents and at the computer all weekends instead of partying like a normal teenager would. So consider your options, and what you think would be best for you, your social life, and your parents. But mainly for you =] Of anything goes wrong, feel free to leave me one in my inbox :)
