Does alcohol really make you happy? I'm 15...?!
Question: Does alcohol really make you happy!? I'm 15!.!.!.!?
I'm 15 and for more than the past year I've been in the dumps!. I don't think I have depression cause I'm not suicidal, I just think I'm love sick!. I always feel stressed out and my life sucks!. School is difficult because I'm taking all honors classes, even ones from the grade above me!. Home is no better!. My step dad is alcoholic- so its not like I can invite my "friends" to my house!. But I don't like them anyways!. I can't be close to people!. And lately I haven't liked my friends either!. They all give people dirty looks and gossip right in front of the person they're talking about!. My friends are crappy hoes!. The only person I trust with the secret about my step dad is the guy that lives in my biological dad's state!. We both like eachother!. But obviously there's an issue cause of the distance!. We aren't in a real relationship though, and even though I've tried to move on I can't!. I didn't talk to him for like 10 months last year too, but it didn't work!. He randomly called me after that long time and I felt really happy!. I'm not close to my mom or my sister!. I dislike them both!. My fraternal twin sister is a brat, and is very manipulating!. She will scream and do whatever it takes to go to the mall and get clothes and stuff like that!. She's so fake too!. I can't stand it, not to mention how she looks down on others!. She's a snob!. And because of my disfunctional family, I hear people screaming and fighting every single day!.
Should I get drunk when no one's around!? My whole life I've vowed not to drink even when its legal, so I won't be like my step dad!. And I hate it when my friends do it!. But now I don't care and I just want to feel happy and relaxed!.

Answers:
No, alcohol will only complicate your life and your emotions and make your 'blue' feelings worse!.
It sounds to me like you are a smart girl, who wants more out of life than material objects and you do not take pleasure in putting others down!. That's commendable!.
However, you have to realize that not everyone holds those high standards and you are going to have to learn to accept people for what they are, if you expect them to accept you as you are!.
Would you be happier with your biological Dad!? Is living with him a possibility!? Would you try to keep communication open with your mom & sister if you moved in with your dad!? Even though you don't think you like them now, they are still family and very important part of your life and you should try to maintain a relationship!. Your sister will grow up!. People change at different stages of their lives!.
I suggest you see a dr and talk to them about your feelings of being down!. Depression takes on many forms and you don't have to be suicidal to be depressed!. My husband has fought depression all of his life and didn't know it until about a year ago!. You sound much like him!. I finally talked him into seeing a dr, who prescribed paxil!. He's now normal!. For the first time in his life!. His depression started early, pre-teen, and he couldn't get along with people, couldn't be happy, and wound up almost ruining his life with drugs!.

alcohol is a depressant so it will not affect people the same!. lots of people get really angry or sad when they drink!.
btw you are too young and there are laws for a reason!.
you are still developing and i don't recommend you do anything of the sort!.
if you need help with problems then talk to your family doctor or your guidance counselor at schoolWww@Answer-Health@Com

Alcohol is a downerWww@Answer-Health@Com
No, alcohol does not make you happy and it does not solve your problems!. You drink enough of it and your brain just shuts down!. You wake up feeling worse than when you started!. It is not the right way to handle life, no matter how bad things are!. Just look at your step dad and how messed up he is from drinking - do you really want to join the ranks and be like that!?
Be strong and remember that there is always someone out there who has it worse off than you!. You are very smart and you are very capable of being something important and great one day - getting through life now will only strengthen you for the future!. You can do it! I believe in you! :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You don't fix a problem with a problem!. Alcohol is never the answer and it's actually a depressant-some people seem happy while they're drunk but it catches up to them in a big way-trust me-I had to learn this one the hard way-never was an alcoholic but I drank to drown the pain and learned it only causes more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You don't have to be suicidal to be depressed!.
And alcohol doesnt make you happy, it's a mood enhancer, so if you're happy before you drink, you're happy, if you feel crappy when you drink, you get crappier!. etc!.
I would suggest ot drinking, not if you're dad's an alcoholic!. You may have qualities that could cause you to become one also!.
Plus drinking by yourself isn;t fun, not like with friends!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Alcohol doesn't make you happy - it makes you drunk, and it definetely makes you sick afterwards, but it won't make you happy!. I have never felt happier or more relaxed when I drink, and even if I did, it would only be temporary!.
Please talk to your school counselor about what's going on at home!. You don't have to live like this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, alcohol doesn't make you "happy" - if you are depressed when you start drinking, you will still be depressed when the drunk wears off!. If you're angry, it will only intensify the anger - that's why so many drunk people get into fights and do stupid things - they think alcohol is an excuse for bad behavior!. 15 is way too young to be drinking!. See if you can't talk to someone like a counselor - what you're dealing with really is typical teenager angst!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Short answer - NO!. Alcohol is a depressant so it's not going to make you feel any better or make your situation any more tolerable!.
I applaud your vow not to drink!. However, I think you've made it for the wrong reasons!. Vow not to drink because you don't want to drink, not because of anyone else or because of what you think it will turn you into!.
I'm a lifelong martial artist so I don't drink!. However, I was in the Army during the Viet-Nam era so I know what it's like to get stinking drunk!. I woke up one day back in the barracks after an all-nighter and couldn't remember how I got there!. I was so sick, I couldn't make the room stop spinning!. I swore at that point that I'd never drink again -- and I never have!.
I always get people asking me why I don't drink!. I used to make up all kinds of stories (like liver problems, etc)!. Now I just say, "because I chose not to!."
Be your own person!. Make your own decisions based on what's best for you!. If you do, you'll be more than able to cope with whatever life throws at you!
