Join a sport or club that does things that interest you. It's a good way to meet new people and make new friends with the same interests as you. I'm not sure how old you are, but maybe get a job that will help you to get out of the house a couple days a week and earn a little extra cash so you can buy a few things and spoil yourself every now and then. Plus, jobs are another good way to meet people, not to mention help you handle more responsibilities.

Anyway, I'm not sure what kind of issues you have with your family, but next time you're at home, why not strike up an interesting coversation with your parents or surprise them with a picnic lunch and go to the park with them. Just try to spend at least a half hour of quality time with them, even if it's just a nice conversation with them. You can get to know them, they can get to know you, and you'll learn to respect each other a lot more. It works. It helps. Try it.

Another thing that might help you be a little happier is to get a pet. I don't know if you have any pets, but I find that nothing cheers me up like a nice slobbery kiss from my puppy. Even if it's just a fish or a hamster, they can crack you up with the cute little things they do and can make you an all around cheerier person.

And next time your friends act like hypocrites or are gossiping or doing anything else that might make you annoyed by them, change the subject to something more enjoyable. Crack a few jokes, invite them for a girls night in to watch cheesy movies. Either try to make peace, or stay away from them. If you can't make things better with them, there's no point in staying friends with them because they'll make you more upset.

If all else fails, and you still feel pretty badly, make a list. Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper and on the right side, list everything that is good in your life. On the left, list everything that is going badly in your life. That way, when you're feeling blue, you can look at the list of good things and appreciate those things and try to add to the list. Then, you can look at the bad things and determine ways to make those things better. It's cheesy, but it helps and no one has to see it but you.

Life gets better. Everyone has rough days. I know you can get through it. :)

to the girl below me..there is always a way to find happiness. well, to start with..friends who treat you like crap are not worth your time!! i think you should try to meet new people or talk to your close friends about how you feel. there will always be problems in life, but if you learn to accept them and let the good things going on in life override the bad..that will help you alot.feeling good about yourself and discovering things you love about yourself may also help. try to get out there and try new things..and even going outside more can help because ive noticed when i just relax outside i tend to feel alot happier. sometimes the most simple things in life are the joys in life..and we're young..weve got so much ahead of us..this is just one portion of your life so if you just try to see the positivity in everything and embrace new oppurtunites you will feel alot better. also try talking to someone you can REALLY TRULY trust, maybe a family member or something..or getting all your feelings out by writing. just keep your head up and know that tons of people love you and care about you and life has so much to offer you.

I honestly know how you feel. Life just sucks and you really just want to get away. I was recently depressed but I've managed to do things to lift my spirits. The best thing I did was I made a new friend. Someone that didn't know me at all but could just listen and help me with my problems, and I help her with hers. You said you can't wait untill you go to college, so why don't you make good memories to remember. Such as taking crazy pictures with the friends you are getting along with. Another way I really feel good is I take a long walk. Just to clear my mind and really come back down to earth, which in the end helps saddness. Hope I have helped!

[1] Try to work things out with your family. What exactly are they doing to make issues with you? Are they not allowing you to do something, or are they setting limits you think are unncessary? Or do you think they're out to ruin your life. Most of the time, family does the things they do because they care for you & only want whats best for you. That could be the case, but you're seeing it differently. It's happened to be a ton. But I'd talk things out with them. Maybe you can come up with a solution to the problems you've been having.

[2] If your friends are treating you so horribly, then find new friends. If your friends are doing these things to you, they're not really your friends & they never were to begin with. Find someone who shares your interests, or that you think is cool. And try to stay away from these old friends. They seem like bad news to me.

[3] As for a boyfriend, it's not too important to have one. Guys can often complicate things, or take away from your concentration. Especially when you're young. You spend most of your time thinking about them, and then you lose concentration or focus on what's really important. And you don't need a guy to make you happy, even if that's how it seems. Guys aren't all that great. So don't worry about guys. But maybe find a friend who's a guy who will be good to you. Some of the guys I've met have ended up becoming pretty good friends, and sometimes my boyfriend. Just wait. =) There's someone out there for you, but when you find them, don't lose focus on what's really important [school, confidence, work].

When you feel upset, look on the bright side of things. You've got a place to live, you've got an education, and you've got clothes or things other people don't have. Trust me, you don't really have it as bad as you think. Some kids get abused, or never know who their real parents are. Some kids have to grow up in homes with substance abusers, or people who just don't care. And some kids have a new home every month from foster care. And some kids end up in adoption agencies. There's a lot of poor, and homeless people. There's people who can't see, or hear. People who can't walk, or talk. So trust me, you don't have it as bad as you think. You've actually got it pretty good, but things aren't going that way right now.

Things will get better. I promise you.

I feel the EXACT same way you do, and to be honest, I don't think there is any REAL way to be happy. Just focus on the positive things and work hard on your goals to stay busy. Find a new hobbie and stick with it. Find someone to confide in (even though it may be hard).

Good Luck :]
(I think we both need it)

you should find some one who you feel comfortable talking to like a cousin, friend. uncle, aunt, siblings or some one and talk to them about it and maybe just talking it out will make you feel a little better!
