Awww, how rubbish! I feel bad for you! I think its normal, I felt like this at school, but I really think looking back, I was being to sensitive, feeling like everyone was out to get me a bit. Dont worry, have a good cry at home, but you really need to try and be tough at school, dont let people see your weak, school is too tough for that! Try and be more confident at school, take deep breaths when you feel teary, or go to the bathroom and compose yoursef! And at home, I dont think any 13yr old gets taken seriously, sorry, but it takes a while for family to catch on that your a young adult, but try and just ride with it, try and enjoy being 13 instead of feeling so blue!
It gets easier, hope this helps xxxxx
It is extremely normal. I get depressed sometimes too.
it's probably just your hormones, depression is a serious and nasty illness.
i think teenagers suffer confusion more than they do depression. its an emotional time when your hormones are all over the place. you are trying to find out who you are and what you want. not the best time to be under exam pressure.
Unfortunately it is natural to feel this way at 13. Every teenager does. It is due to the hormones rushing around the body and brain for the first time. It doesn't last forever and you are not alone.
There is no solution except to ride out the storm with good friends, or writing a personal diary, or talking to a trusted teacher/parent/counsellor.
The feeling doesn't last forever.
Welcome to the life of a teenager. That's just a part of it sometimes. You may feel high one day and low the next, and for no apparent reason. If this persists for a long time (like 6 months), then you might want to consider seeking professional help.
i am 13 to
and these people came into our school to talk about teenage 'metal health' with us
they said that it is very common and that there are many people you can talk to ;
teachers
councillors in schools
and some people from the company 'connexions'
i hope i have help
and people who tease you are very very sad
yes it is fairly common - it's a difficult time where there's alot of insecurity and change and hormones running wild - believe it or not 99% of the people you know at school probably feel the same as you deep down, whether they're the bullies or the people being bullied - you're not alone.
However, that does not make what you're going through ok. You need to talk to someone about the problems you are having - a parent, an adult close to you, a teacher you trust, your doctor or a school counsellor. It could be that some of your problems can be fairly easily sorted out, or if you are depressed (as opposed to just feeling like it's all a bit much), a doctor should be able to help you.
Please don't just suffer in silence - you're not alone, you're not abnormal and there are people who can help you. I went through a very difficult time when I was a teenager, but I'm pleased to say things do get better!
Hold your head high and remember that this wont last forever, but in the meantime, try and talk to someone you trust xx
Yes, it is normal, but it really sounds like you could use someone to talk with. When you get teased, perhaps you could say something like "Please stop! That hurts my feelings!" and walk away. Do NOT be afraid to talk to a teacher or school counselor about this...they will help you. I know you must feel alone and likely don't really trust adults, but they can help. All adults have been there, including me. We get it. People who tease do it for power and are really lacking something in their lives. I know that doesn't help when you feel like crap because they do that, but it's true. YOU are the stronger person, even though it doesn't feel like it. I wonder if were real with them, if it would help. If you could get a teacher to help arrange a meeting where you let them know how sad it makes you feel and how much it hurts. I think that would make it stop. Remember this, there is a whole lot of life to live once you get out of school. I know it feels so huge right now, but when you get a bit older you will not have to be around people like that. Those people suck. Remember that.
OMG the same thing happend to me!
Im 13 to but it seems that people like me but they judge me and theyre always talking about me behind my back its really upsetting but everyone thinks im like the happiest kid and usually thats what it appears to be im always constant smiling and laughing and at home its weird right!
Well this is what i did You need a way to cope with your emotions I havent been happier in ever I acutally bottle up my emotions shove them back and be happy and it makes me actually happy but u should try this...If it dosent work it will only make it worst think of the good things in life and follow through with them and If its REAL depression go to the doctor but remember to tell all this to your parents they deserve to know email me if you need to talk about ANYTHING!!!
It will all work out i promise keep in touch!

It's more common than people might think. I suggest you talk to your doctor about this, as well as your parents.
Depression is the most common of mental illnesses. It may occur in children, teenagers or adults. There are different types of depression. Chronic depression for which there is no apparent reason. Situational depression which is what you seem to have.
It's most unfortunate that you can't escape by going home. There are a couple of suggestions I have for you. Perhaps you and your parents could visit a family counselor. The other is to see a psychiatrist, who may well insist on speaking with your parents. Best wishes :)
Please seek medical advice ....
Your doctor may need you to go and see a psychologist to discuss your deeper issues....
Best of luck and i hope you can get to the root of this problem very soon ....
I am sorry to hear that you cry every night, thats sad....and i do feel for you....
Please let the Doctors and the Psychologists help you .... They can open up your mind and get to the emotional issue, have you sustained a family loss recently think back....
You need to have a good cry and get over the issue so you can move on from there.... If it is not sorted it may take over you and errode your inner-strengths.
I went through that same thing when I was your age, Its perfectly normal. No matter what everybody goes through that sometime in their life and for you it just happens to be now. All you have to do is just stay strong and don't let the little things make you upset. Everybody gets teased...I did, but i learned to not care what other people think. Just be you and be proud!!! For being ignored im not to sure what to say because you didn't be specific...are you being ignored by friends or family?!? For crying yourself to sleep it could be because your angry, do something to release that anger (I find that cleaning and going for really long fast walks help, you can try other things to like punching something soft like a pillow or mattress). If none of that helps talk to your parents, say its really important and personal!!!
Well I hope that helped you, cheer up and smile.
If you were making subtle insinuation towards me, do not worry, I only vent my nastiness on those who have it coming.
Just remember that everyone has relative problems; everyone always does. Problems become exacerbated if they outweigh the positives in your life, and that's the solution. Focus on what is positive in your life and open yourself to new things. Be open-minded to everything and you will become a better person. Consult a teacher if necessary, they, for the most part, want to help. And for whomever is teasing you, ask them personally i.e. not whilst part of a group why they're doing it. Open-mindedness is the key.
depression is sadly becoming more and more a teen problem, i think too much emphasis is on looks ,clothes , who your friends are and doing just about anything to keep up with the in crowd.. if people just left others to be there own person, and accept that we all don't have the same nature, life would become so much easier ,,
if you are different from the other kids at school isn't that good,because you are your own person stand tall tell them that you like being you and that they are nothing but sheep all going around following one another,
so say your fat so what!!!! say you are thin so what!!!! say your not dressed as good as most so what!! say your better dressed so what!!! do you see my point it doesn't matter be true to yourself
if you want to cry have a good cry it will do you good but not too much OK good luck to you,, but be true to yourself,,your depression will go when you learn to trust and believe in your self
Anyone who makes nasty comments in response to this question is probably dealing with issues of their own. I hope nobody is that insensitive.
What you are experiencing is a normal reaction to both the teasing and the isolation you are feeling. Just because it is normal, doesn't make it any less concerning. The fact that you are crying at home and at school suggests that you need more support from somewhere. Do you have a counselor or a teacher at school that you trust? Could you confide in them? I know you said you are not taken seriously at home, so I am not sure if that means that your family knows about the depression you are feeling.
You might want to ask them if you could look into seeing a counselor. I am a school counselor and many of the 13 year old students that I work with feel just like you. I often refer them to counseling outside of school for extra help. Would you be willing to try that? A good counselor will help you to develop coping skills for the teasing and also ways to improve your self-esteem.
I'm sorry things are so difficult and I hope they improve for you soon.
p.s. stay active....it WILL help!
I used to get depressed now and would break at small things. But then I took a kinda I don't give a crap attitude towards anyone who tried to upset me. If you just act like you don't care towards people who tease you then they will stop as they are not getting the reaction that they want. I have no idea how to deal with your problems at home as I have never had to deal with such issues.
