I am really depressed.

[Danielowns]

Hey. I'm 13. Since I was 10, I have been depressed about life. What is wrong with me? :-k

[crimsonking]

Its just that stage in life where you begin to question all thats around you, at least thats what it was like for me.

[Danielowns]

I don't think that is quite it.

[jemathonical]

I think your self esteem is low. Feel good about yourself and you shouldn't be depressed

[crimsonking]

Insecuritys about how others feel about you then?

[Danielowns]

That is probably it. Maybe I am just weird, but I can NOT make friends. The last friend I had was when I was 9.

[warri0r45]

I can assure you there are friends out there for you, and probably here too, try to get to know some people's common interests, and if they're like yours, it shouldn't be so hard.

[Guest]

Join a club or social group and be confident about yourself and around other people. Try not to be shy and you'll soon have a handful of friends. :wink:

[irulepoker]

Well, let me give you a few first impressions from what I see. ( This is coming from a popular kid at my school, so I'd suggest take it. [ At my school it is very hard to become popular.])

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO NOT TAKE ANY OF WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY OFFENSIVELY.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I presume you are considered weird, due to the fact of your apperance / attitude.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're probably a "nerd", which makes it hard to get friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your wardrobe is probably outdated, and "un-trendy".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My suggestions:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO NOT MENTION RUNESCAPE AT SCHOOL, EVER!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make a few friends, and slowly earn your popularity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a cool attitude, if a teacher yells at you, so be it. Don't show any emotion, and then laugh with a friend. ( Once the teacher can't see you that is :P)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look at some of the more popular kids and their wardrobe. Get some clothes like them. And if you wear glasses, get contacts! Contacts > Glasses, big time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not do nerdy things, and try to hang out with the girlz. You get a rep with the girlz, you get a rep with everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLIRT! FLIRT, FLIRT, FLIRT. Flirting, and flattering a girl makes them feel special and wonderful. Trust me, I know. :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct me on anything I said wrong there, about you I mean.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take my suggestions, you'll thank me later!

Although funny, its true what Irulepoker said. Just don't act too gangsta and get into the drugs and alcohol. :wink:

[irulepoker]

That's not popular, that's moronic. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although, do not go thinking that because you have nicer clothes means your better then people without'em. That's just your ego getting ahead of you, and you have to keep it in check.

You could also consider the "Homeless Bum" approach and wear a cardboard box to school? People may start to sympathize and become your friend.

I'd think that they would avoid you more.

Actually, they want to stay away from you when you do that.

[jemathonical]

Just be yourself, and join a sporting team. Be social

[eias]

Hey. I'm 13. Since I was 10, I have been depressed about life. What is wrong with me? :-k

[rushrock]

Rule 1: Don't listen to irulepoker. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Deloria, back me up on this please? :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rule 2: Hang out with your friends a little more. Have more "dates" with your friends, such as a movie or a trip to the mall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rule 3: If you've learned anything here, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER try to be someone you're not. Don't get "trendy" or whatever the hell irulepoker said, it's a load of BS. If you don't be yourself, then who are you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rule 4: Your friends can do a lot for you. Talk to them about your problems. They'll listen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hoping you feel better,

[qoute]DO NOT MENTION RUNESCAPE AT SCHOOL, EVER!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why not? i talk about runescape sometimes with my friends why shouldnt he make some real life friends on runescape?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make a few friends, and slowly earn your popularity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

popularity is a lie in all sorts of ways just be yourself

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a cool attitude, if a teacher yells at you, so be it. Don't show any emotion, and then laugh with a friend. ( Once the teacher can't see you that is )

i wear glasses and i make plenty of friends. wear what you wanna wear cause i'd rather wear glasses than poke my eyes every morning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not do nerdy things, and try to hang out with the girlz. You get a rep with the girlz, you get a rep with everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLIRT! FLIRT, FLIRT, FLIRT. Flirting, and flattering a girl makes them feel special and wonderful. Trust me, I know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dating at age 10-15 is pointless. asnswer me this. when you went out with someone at a young age was it because of actual love? or just to make you look cool? cause im seriously laughing at the fact people are sad that someone walking on the play ground with thier cousin. :roll: stay away from dating till you can drive IMO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pretty much... BE YOURSELF

[Pete_the_Viscous]

Not all causes of depression can be resolved by talking to friends or briefly being cheered up by having fun. There isn't necessarily a solution to your problem. Being oneself doesn't always make one feel better, even if it is sensible -- usually. If you can't change what's causing it, just put up with it and you will most likely either find something else that makes things better later on, or get used to it and not be so bothered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or, if you want a quicker, simpler answer:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is wrong with me?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each of:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your outlook,

 

 

 

your expectations,

 

 

 

nothing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i.e. you're probably right: lots is wrong with the world in lots of ways. On the other hand, lots of people seem to have a nice time, so it is obviously possible to view things differently somehow.

like people have said before, mentioning runescape in school aint gonna help things, people just walk off even if i refer to runescape :cry:

What the hell is wrong with people and thinking nerds are bad. I admit i'm a nerd, and tell people im a nerd at school. No one cares, nerds are awesome, nerds are cool. Playing games is awesome and cool. People try to be who they aren't these days and no wonder they get screwed up teenage years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the author of this thread. I was very depressed during those years mostly cause i had a hard time socializing with friends and that. But little did i realize, my friends were just right under my nose all along, i just didn't care enough to pay attention. Also, i would suggest reading some books. I did alot during those years and it helped alot. You can learn alot reading even fiction, as there are many lessons to be learned through the themes of many books.
