    really you'llbe ok because beyonf the pain there is a hope,,depression happens to anyone on earth ,not just you, i think because of the way we think that we r unique and hv a unique life,in fact all people are same and life is similar,like mine like yours and likeeverybody's life ..whatever the situation you are suffering from you must be strong than it and you could help yourself bysport,reading,be healthy because tht helps you alot ,,,,i tell you that because i had expersience before ...good luck!

    That is the worst thing you could ever do to yourself......to harm yourself! Cheer up there's a lot of wonderful things that needs to be done other than feeling sorry about it. On a clear and sunny day, why not go out with a friend or even alone and just take your time walking along the path where there's green, doesn't matter grass or trees then look up the sky and ask yourself.....how lucky i am, to be here, to be able to enjoy this wonderful creations. Seek help if you can but I believe it is us that can help ourselves because we are the ones that makes decision on what is best for us. Depression is a mental illness, cured it by being focus and think positive. Read books and listen to music that will lift your spirits up. Now add colours to your life. Good luck!

    I felt old at your age too. But now that I actually am older, I look back on my childhood & regret not taking better advantage of my youth. I spent my high school years crying myself to sleep while everyone else in my life was completely clueless to how I really felt. I regret that. I didn't realize how not getting help when I was young would affect my future. Every situation is different, but the sooner you can seek help for your depression, the better. I know it's hard, but if you don't feel in control of your thoughts, I really hope you will tell your parents (or an adult you trust) about your feelings. Because you're not worthless and you deserve to feel better.
