I dont want to sound patronising but maybe some of it is due to your age,some hormonal imbalances which will sort themselves out.

It's natural to feel depressed during your teens. Your hormones are going through a lot of changes and you will come through this just fine. Norman Vincent Peale is a great author who has lots of wisdom to help you feel better. "The power of positive thinking" is an amazing book I read in my teens and it helps me today. You sound like an amazing kid! You will be fine!

Your body is going through tremendous hormonal changes at this time and for many young people this physiological event leads to transient depressions. As you get older and your body adjusts you will most likely experience relief from depressive episodes. Exercise is an excellent way to help alleviate depression. If you could find an aerobic sport you enjoy (jogging?) this will help. Keep the faith, but if it becomes severe, possibly have your mom take you to the doctor to see if antidepressant medication may be of value to you.

you may be missing that older brother or mother to look up to as a role model

like many people above said:

Meditate

really helps

but if you feel this is getting out of hand, consult a doctor or phsycoligist imidietly

You sound alot like someone I know-------me! I have been depressed since age 11! I go thruogh the same thing everyday. I do understand and the best thing 4 u 2 do is to pray, ignore,and look @ the stuff you have that no one elsehas! I try my best, but sometimes I just need to cry!

At your age, these feelings are quite normal, your hormones are changing and your still developing. It can lead to depression. Don't let it! You need to stop worrying about everyone else and their thoughts about you and live how you want to. Ignorance is bliss to some people, not worth consuming your time with. Society is very cruel. Concentrate on getting through school keeping up with the good marks. Look after yourself cause nobody else will. Take control of your life and live it to the fullest while you still can, there isn't much time to do that when you get older, trust me. Helping someone else can make you feel better too. Go help the little old man down the street shovel his driveway. Do some volunteer work at the local animal shelter. Take the neighbours dog or kid for a walk. Talk to your pastor, talk to your parents. Just know you are not alone. Live well and be happy...life is what you make it.
