How can I beat suicidal depression?!
Question: I am a sophmore in high school and feel a lot of stress and pressure from friends and parents. Throughout elementary and middle school my grades were good, and I got a reputation for being that "perfect student." Then after 8th grade my parents made me go to another school that i didn't want to switch to. Since then my grades have dropped and I've been feeling depressed very often. I've kind of given up on homework and spend most of my time on my laptop. I enjoy working with computers as well as studying to become a pilot. My parents don't like me being on the computer though, and are not very supportive about my skill with helping others w/ computers or wanting to become a pilot. I usually feel these are the only things I can do, but do them well. I often find myself not caring what happens, if I would die, etc. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.

Oh my God. I am so sorry. That is so horrible. Please never give up on your dreams. And know that going to school will improve your chances of achieving these dreams. Highs school can be a VERY stressful time. Remember you are going to school to learn only for yourself. So try to get those grades up to par and you will feel better. Don't unconsciously think you are getting your parents back by doing poorly. It only hurts you. Remember, success is the best revenge.That is what happened to Bill Gates. He was a VERY poor student until HE decided he wanted to get A's.
I know someone who went through this feeling in middle school, but is now happy as a clam in high school.
Hang in there. Best wishes. Have you spoken to an M.D. or school counselor?
Computers and planes are big business. I have no doubt you can be successful, if you pull out of that depression. Get help(even a self help book) if needed and start living life again! O.K?

Grow up. Life isn't that bad, don't cry unless you've got cancer.
seriously ur too young to have these stresses. if u dont do well in high school u can always go to community college and transfer to a really good state school (it's easier in my opinion to get good grades in CC than high school honors classes imo anyway).
your school has a counselor. go talk to him/her.
