Question: Is there something wrong with me?
I am 15 years old and i think i am depressed, i have friends that are pregnant at 16, friends that used to talk to me but no longer, a friend that was being abused at home and is being disowned by mother and sister, all sorts of drams at school i feel lonely like there is no need for me to be around, Some family is breaking up and my father stopped talking to me (i don't know why, afraid to ask) i go to school and usually hang out in the library because i am a book nerd(no joke) with my friend who is also friends with alot of other people so she ditches me a lot and then i become sad and lonely again, i go home and i have very minimal chores but loads of homework that i don't like to do so my grades are dropping, im fussing about my weight because im 20 pounds over (im 6'0 teen so im around 186 lbs i need to be like 165 and stay that way) and want to lose it but don't know how because my mom just had weight loss surgery and serves food i Won't eat like fish then i get into a fight with my step dad ...im just so overwhelmed i feel like giving up, What should i do? Is this depression if so then what? please and thank you!!

You should look for a local church they usually have really good youth groups....this don't mean you have to be a fanatic...but God will help you through any of your problems...and we all want to feel loved, wanted and like we belong.

Talk to a pastor or youth leader, they can pray with you and for you and maybe you can find new friends through there.



Wow 15 and 6.0" ? I am 23 and i am 5.5".

Ok, so your life sounds hard but its all about what and how you think. I understand sometimes it can be hard to you know..change your thoughts. But just let things happen and it will eventually pass smoothly. Dont make a big issue out of it. Time will change things...

It sounds like you have a lot going on right now and could really use some support. It is great that you are reaching out for help! Some of the people that you have been friends with seem to have a lot of drama going on in their lives which can make it feel like they no longer have any time for your friendship. When this happens, sometimes it is best to find ways to meet other people and form new friendships. You say that you like to read, does your school have any type of book club that you could join? It is important that you find support for yourself with all of the things that you have going on. Is there a trusted adult such as a parent, pastor, or guidance counselor that you could talk to? You may also consider talking with your medical doctor about the issues to see if they may be able to help you with the feelings of depression. Things can and will get better if you continue to reach out for help!!

your 15 and usually a lot of kids your age go through a stage where they do feel depressed. i'm 14 and i thought the same thing for awhile and i just realized that it was stupid and i need to forget everything bad and make it all right.
i'm having trouble with my weight at the moment to but i decided to fix that also and i was 172 and now i am 165 in only a little over a week and i feel great. im still not going to stop until i get to where i wanna be.
don't give up on anything, just make the best of everything :)
good luck?
