Should I just suck it up?
I'm 15 and this has kinda been an emotional year. My dog has died, I hate my job, I have had to deal with high school drama which I get is normal for my age but this year I've seemed more sad then I ever have before and I'm not the only one who has noticed. Summer vacation just started and its only the second day and I've been crying for most of it for random reasons or for no reason at all? Is there something wrong with me I just can't hold my tears in and I don't know why?

Judging by your age, this probably has something to do with puberty. You're at the age when hormones are running wild and mood swings or feeling depressed is actually a common thing. I remember going through times like this even when everything was going great in my life. The slightest thing would set me off and I'd just start crying out of nowhere.
My advice to you is not to "suck it up", but to just keep it in your head that whatever strange emotional problems you are having will go away as you get a little older. This is a just a time that you have to get through.
Talking about it can definitely help. There are lots of people that want to help and will support you. For me personally, when I tried to talk to my friends about it they didn't really understand and honestly, being teenagers themselves, they had similar problems of their own and couldn't have helped me much. For you, it might be just fine to talk to your friends, but I found that what helped the most was actually talking to one of my teachers about it. I didn't really like her, but she noticed that something was wrong and asked me about it. If you can find someone a little older to talk to, they might be able to offer some wiser words of wisdom than a friend could.
Good luck and remember that life isn't going to be like this forever. You'll get a new job, you'll eventually smile from memories of your dog, and high school drama will end with high school. Try to enjoy your summer and don't worry when you start to feel sad. Just cry for a little while and then do something fun. :)

I know where you're coming from, high school isn't easy, dogs are beautiful and jobs fucking suck :( But you have to look at the bright side, there's no other way to look at life :) Just think (and i'm not trying to be annoying), at least you have a job and an education, some people don't. I know it's hard to be thankful though, if you feel like shit all the time. The good thing is, you have free choices, so my advice is to use your free choices and leave your job for a different, more enjoyable one :) Talk to your family about your doggy, and try to find comfort in them :) As for the high school drama, stick with people who you like and who care about you, and try and relax on weekends, go to parties, go shopping, just chill at home with your friends.
Most of all, enjoy the little things :)
Hope i helped xxx

Sorry to hear you've had such a crap year so far. I don't know why you're feeling down, but could you talk to a friend or a close family member that you trust? Even if it's just talking about your day, you'll feel better having someone there to confide in. Also, you may be a bit sad that school is over, therefore you don't have people around you 24/7, it can be depressing, I know I used to get sad during summer because I never saw any of my friends and when I did see them it was like once every other week or something. Also if you hate your job, could you not look for a different job for the summer? I'm sure people will be looking to hire temporary employees over the summer! Sorry you're so stressed out - i hope you're summer starts looking up for you soon!
