Given the amount of time, you spent being home schooled, it’s understandable that high school will be challenging for you. It usually is, even for students who have never being home schooled. Your situation is not unique and what I would recommend is that you attend a group meeting of students experiencing similar struggles like your self. Needless to say, taking your life is not the answer, in every stage of our lives there are going to be struggles. As far as your depression is concerned it sounds like something that runs in your family? I would suggest you share this letter with your parents, and strongly urge them to let you see a therapist for starters, and then the therapist should advise your family on the best course of action.
Good luck.

first of all, high school is amazingly hard. i was depressed for what felt like forever as well. when you get out of high school things will seem easier. secondly, nothing is worth taking your life. tell you parents, demand from them that you see a theropist. even if you dont think it helps it will. you need to talk to someone. if your parents wont or you cant wait see a school councilor. you absolutely need to start talking and getting some of this off your chest. you dont have to right off the bat ask for antidepressants becasue you may find that you dont even need them after you start talking. and secondly as hard as everything is try something new. join a sport. keep busy. just do something so youre not just sitting around. furthermore you have nothing to feel guilty about. trust me things will get better. nothing is worth taking your life. life is amazing and will always get better. hang in there
