Hi, I need some advice. I am always depressed all the time, it doesn’t matter what i’m doing. I’m a fourteen year old guy, and i don’t think normal 14 year olds are like me. I have to go to a new school this upcoming term and i only know 4 people that go there. It’s my first year in high school, and I’m really scared about it. I’m worried nobody will like me, Because i act different. I have done a lot of bad things and i do bad things still. Most of my old friends hate me now. What should i do about being depressed all the time? If anyone has any advice about that, and my new school and how i can make friends there, Please answer. Thanks.

Thank you for responding, and for putting those articles there. I think they may be able to help.

i think you feel some bad feelings about what you believe are the bad things you have done and still do. stop doing the bad things , do things instead that make you feel prouder of yourself. like volunteer to do a chore for your mom, some thing that makes another person happy, it is something to achieve that you feel good. above all always talk to someone, even if its pehaps on a group page in facebook or a fone help line if you cant face someone you know, always fins SOMEONE, dont keep on holding bad feelings inside, or feeling alone or odd. You arent odd or different , a LOT of kids your age feel like it, it takes a long time into adulthood to grow into your personal confidence of knowing who you are. By then i think youll realise being different and unique isnt a bad thing always. school is the only time in life where theres a real pressure, to fit in, and conform. Youll find you make new friends when you go to high school, and these will be the ones you stick with into adult life. the younger kids from the last school, we all tend to move on from …grow out of. so dont worry about anything. put it all down to experience, and try harder to be a person YOU like from here on. you know you cant keep on doing badness that makes you and others dislike you… but your opinion of you, matters most of all. like yourself, and when you dont, change that self, be better, if you cant like you no onew can. be happy in yourself … and remember -deep down we all have insecurities and fears no matter how perfect it seems outside, dont be fooled. and good luck

No problem. @JArcAngelo also gave some good advice. Personally I am too 14 so I know depression will be there at this part of life so don’t worry. Things will turn out to be good soon. Best wishes!

Okay, Depression. You know there are so many things you can do to avoid or remove if you are willing and dedicated. Of course there must be reasons why you are depress, try to concentrate and think all the things that you did wrong or things that you wanted but didn’t came to you. As I see your problem sir, you need someone to talk to. Try to talk to your parents or to someone that is close to you. Form the lesson. Yes it’s hard to pick up new things when you’re a freshmen especially you only know 4 persons to that school. You should first motivate yourself to the past you have and start to undo that even it is so hard. Remember, All good things need a rough way. You said that most of your old friends hate you because you’re doing bad things, well for me, they are not friends. If they are really your friends, then they must not hate you at the first place because true friends will help you, and will guide you. To ease your depression, do the things that will make yourself and your love ones happy because if you give them happiness, you’ll gonna earn happiness. If you will be happy and will give happiness to people (yes it might be hard but the key is in yours), Your high school years will be as much better. Another thing, maybe you are doing things so early or you’re making decision to be happened now that’s why your are depressed or hurt. I know it is not easy to do all my advises and I understand it If you can’t but I believe you can. I may not be able to change but I know there will always be change to everyone’s heart Sir. Try to enjoy life for there are hidden things lie within your happiness. I hope you’ll see your answer to my comment and hope that gives a help sir. Smile is my word.
