Answers:

Well we all go through this, some more than others. Depression is not something you can control and just happens when you think your missing something and you don't know what to do. If you realize it we all are searching for a purpose and a reason to feel special. But it all comes down to what do you feel about yourself, nobody really knows who they truely are, and your still very young and still learning and growing. If you don't realize it now you will when you'll get older. Even if you don't feel special, someone thinks your special to them. It not who you are that makes you special but what you do. Everyone is searching for what they want to do and who they want to become but at the end of day you are YOU and no one can change that. Whenever i feel depressed i write down all the things im proud of like having a great smile,nice hair, good family,friends. And i list it, when every i want more i keep adding on to that list. Well good luck and be proud of yourself for who you are, you are special to someone don't forget that.



I am 13 and I feel like i am also depressed a LOT! I always feel like i never have time to relax. In my opinion I think this is perfectly normal. I think every human at leat once in a life time is depressed.., my advice to you is just to know that you are not alone!!
Hope I helped!~
