If people just stop being your friends, it's probably because of a rumor or something really stupid. Whatever you do, don't let doctors prescribe you with a bunch of drugs. They will only make it worse. The best way to get through it is to find a really good romance book, like "All American Girl" by Meg Cabot; getting chocolate, letting the chocolate melt on the roof of your mouth; and finding a comfy chair to read in, and reading in your spare time. Don't use the internet as an anti-depressant, lose yourself in books, and forget your problems while reading. It really helps.

If your going throught puberty, its most likely just a stage. I went through it. Symtomps are..loss in appetive, lose in usual activities, not wanting to go to school or, wanting to go to school. loss of sleep. unhappy. not wanting to be with friends. stuff like that.
wanna know how i fixed it? i looked at where i live, the things i do have, not the things i dont. i realized how many great things I truly have. and i never realized how lucky i was. i mean, when my mom would only buy me 3 pairs of 70 dollar sweat pants, i would be mad. i'd get sad and everything. or when, i didnt get as big as a flat screen in my room as i wanted, i'd get all depressed. i'm not saying that your the same way as me, because i am obviously spoiled, but i've deff. changed that. just point out all the things in your life you have. dont act negative about it at all.
do you watch american idol? did you see the idol gives back one on tonight? did you see all of those kids? how a kid dies every 30 seconds in africa. as i'm writing this, kids are dieing.
doesn't that make you feel lucky? i know it does me.
it seems you are going through some depression. i went through it and it was hard, i lost my dog, my best friends that i have for atleast 5 or 6 years, and i was very sick. i got through it.
