bite the bullet and get through school, don't quit, no matter what. You didn't say why you are living with your brother, where are your parents? going to a new school is depressing, we all hated it, everyone looks at you funny for being the new kid. Just remember this-you are the best looking, the nicest, the most intelligent person there is and all these people staring at you are jealous. You really are very intelligent, because you have noticed a problem early and you reconized it. You ask for help, go to the school counselor, tell him or her, you have to talk to them today. Don't ever give up, fight, you are worth it.
You could ride the city bus to a councilor. Why are you depressed if you have so much to look forward to at 18 yrs old. You could set up goals for yourself to keep yourself motivated. Make yourself a goals journal to track your progress. You could set goals like: work on bringing grades up and study for driving test, things like that. Also, you could start a new hobby that might make you feel happier. Try making beaded jewelry or sewing clothes. You could make something for all your friends. That could cheer you up. Good Luck! I hope everything gets better for you. :-)
let me first start off by telling you that you are not alone. many ppl are depressed, especially at your age. however, you do have a couple of options: 1) you can always go to your brother and tell him that you've been feeling down and that you want to talk to someone about it. 2) try to counsel yourself. maybe figure out what exactly in your life is making you depressed. if it's the ppl. you hang around with, get a new social scene. 3) find someone, even if they aren't a professional to confide in. above all else, remember that whatever is making you feel depressed, this is only one small part of your whole life. don't give up. things will get better.
Go see a doctor and tell them how you are feeling, they will help, there are group meetings for all age groups, People who feel the same way you do.
