Soo..I'm depressed and I can't seam to get better. It's just my dad hates my mom. My mom has no one, and I feel horrible for her because she doesnt have any friends. Then, I am so self concious and no self esteam. I hate how I look. Also, all the people I used to be so close to and who used to call me, don't call me anymore. I have to call them and they never return my phone call. I was hurt really bad by one of my best friends, like he was the guy I went to, to feel better bc I knew he cared about me no matter what, well that was a lie, but w/e. It's just I hate myself, and I feel no one but my family cares about me. I'm also very scared to go out w/ someone again, because last time I did, I was hurt very bad. I'm not sure what I'm asking, pretty much I needed someone to talk to I guess and any tips on what to do. thanks
I'll be honest by letting you know that I think you're pretty lucky that your mom isn't a very busy woman. My mom has always been busy and I'm constantly struggling with feeling like she wants to spend any time with me and it gets me pretty angry and depressed. If anyone, I think that a great best friend could be your mom. You two may not get along or have a lot of conflict with each other, but I did with my mom too and we can finally be in the same room after a few years. And what I've learned was that we were fighting over something that should never have mattered and something that shouldn't ever come between us. Now, she's just my mom and we have typical disagreements.
About your friends in general: The way I see it, if they don't want to be around you and don't want to call you, then that friend is probably not much of a friend. Sometimes it helps to tell them that you miss them and want to hang out and see what they say. If you know that a certain friend likes shopping, invite her to go shopping with you. Shopping may not be your thing, but it can't hurt to start something again with a friend.
I think that you'd probably find it comforting to talk to your mom about how your life is and try hard to get closer to her. If anything, that's what I really want you to try and it can't hurt to try. You know for sure that she's probably miserable, and I think that she'll really like to know how much you care about her. Usually when people are hiding out and alone, they just need to know they are loved by someone.

I'm sorry that your dad hates your mom, i don't know if they are divorced but maybe you can get them to try to talk again. It will take awhile, but maybe if they get out whatever they feel, things will move on. Your friends are jerks. If you could, try to talk to them in person let them know how you feel. Things will get better, you'll find a real best friend who will care and always be there to talk to you and listen. Your family will always love you, sometimes it's all you need and can depend on. You can try dating even for fun and help you feel better about yourself. I hope I gave you good advice, if not you can just send me a message in my inbox and i`ll try to help you out some more. ♥ [ xostarbrightbaby's advice column | Ask xostarbrightbaby A Question ]
