Question Posted Saturday February 10 2007, 12:40 pm
Lately I've been so depressed. I'm 15 yrs old and started highschool. My life is a wreck. I feel like I'm always stressed and don't feel like I wanna live anymore. Eventhough I wouldn't commit suicide. I find myself writting depressing poems and just crying sometimes for no reason. My life isn't the happies life a girl would wish for. My parents are always fighting. They're always in bad moods and take it on me and my 18 year old sister. I hate it!. Also I feel like I have no real friends. Like they really donet care about me. Also my boyfriend that I really cared about broke up with me for no reason and now he wnats another chance. Sometimes I feel like he cares other times I don't. And I don't know what to do. I feel so stressed and like no one really cares about me. My parents work all the time and never have time for me and when we do talk we always end up fighting so I can't talk to them. I have no one to talk to. I hate my life. Please help.

As for your boyfriend, you can give him another chance if you like. He might really be sorry for what he did. Your parents need to chill, but just TRY YOUR BEST to talk to them and not get into arguements with them. They have problems, just like everyone else, but they don't have to take it out on you or your sister. Just try to get closer to them and tell them how you feel about everything that's going on.. They might try not take out their anger on you or your sister if they realize how much they are making you 2 suffer. Just so you know, my life isn't all "happies" either, but I make the best of it and you should too. [ colombiana122993's advice column | Ask colombiana122993 A Question ]

Be thankful for the things you do have - food in your stomach, clothes on your back & a roof over your head. There are people out there who are less fortunate & would die to have their parents in their life. Also, whether you believe it or not, there are more people that care about you than you realize. Maybe it doesn't seem like it, but they do. High school is a new opportunity to meet a lot of new people. I know I didn't have too many close or real friends before then. But I met a lot of people & I know you can too. Find something you like to do, like maybe pick up a sport @ school. It's a healthy way to release stress & meet new people. If sports aren't your thing, try a club. Do something you enjoy to do to keep your mind of things at home. About your boyfriend - I can't tell you what to do. If you aren't happy in a relationship, try changing or working on things that you don't like about it. & if they can't be fixed, then maybe it's not meant to be. I know you feel like your life is a wreck, but if you have any desire to change those things that can make it better, it'll be alright in the end! You just have to be willing to make an effort & change your outlook on a few things. If you want to be happy, you can be. Keep your head up, keep smiling & if you ever need anyone to talk to, leave a message in my inbox. :) Hang in there, girl! [ LadyH's advice column | Ask LadyH A Question ]

I feel the same exact way,
Or FELT for that matter.
But anyways-what helped me through that hurdle is just going to school showing that you are depressed. People will ask you what's wrong & whatever and you'll soon see who really cares about you.
Your paretns probably don't mean to be mean-they're probably stressed about work, and they're probably taking it out on eachother which is causing their bickering. Don't take it personally!
People DO care about you-otherwise, you wouldn't be in a house right now-you wouldn't have electricity to be typing that question-you wouldn't have food in your stomahce and clothes on your back.
Just think: There's always someone who has it worse than you.
^^ That helped me a lot.
Don't commit suicide-"It's a permanant fix for a temporary problem".
Don't worry, be happy!
If worse comes to worst, go to a counselor, they help. They really do.
If you ever need any help, leave me anything in my inbox, I'd be happy to help.
I SINCERELY wish you the best of luck-I really do.
kiran answered Saturday February 10 2007, 2:38 pm: Lots of people are like that. You said you don't have a life that most girls would wish for, think about the ones with no homes and no families and no food. So actually you got a pretty good life compared to others. This is life and its not gonna be all easy. Your parents take it out on you and your sister. I think you should get a journal and express your feelings there that would help alot and you should find someone to talk about this with. Like your sister she is going through the same thing tell her how you feel and maybe it will help you because most older sisters are there for you and will help you. She might be going through the same thing so you guys need to help each other. I hope everything goes well for you! [ kiran's advice column | Ask kiran A Question ]
