Depression - Teen Support Group
Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.

Okay, so a few years ago I started going late to school, sleeping too much, not bothering to wake up for school, running away from home and so missing school, staying off the whole day, becoming nocturnal and so sleeping all day rather than going to school.. etc. etc.
Basically I'm now like well into my last year of school, gcse year, and I'm not going in atall.
I keep trying, and its just become such a habit I exhaust myself and then my sleeping goes nocturnal again, and I feel such a failure for not being able to do a basic thing like go to school..
I'm so close to giving up and just saying "fuck it I won't even bother trying." But the next step is taking my parents to court for my truancy. Could be prison or a big fine.. I don't know the details.
I have a "ace worker" whatever that means. Only for a few weeks though. First we were okay, she irritated me but I really wanted it to work. Either way, I got too tired, we fell out and now shes making it really difficult for me to flip my sleeping back from nocturnal.
And shes telling her boss or whatever that I'm "not co-operating" and so making it more probable my parents will go to court.
I also found out this week because of me missing all this school I'm not going to pass ANY exams. But the school have been all positive and fake to me saying things like "you're a really bright girl if we just get you back to school we can get through your exams." But then my mum let slip that they told her the only reason they're not cancelling my exams all together is because that means I wont have a reason to go to school atall, and by law I have to go.
So now I'm completely resenting school for not being upfront, and I'm sleeping all through the day again, and I'm feeling completely worthless (more than usual) and I feel like I've failed at the most basic things, and I can't see any type of future now I'll have no qualifications so no job, i'll lose touch with my friends because they're all be of to college or uni, and times running out, I only have a few terms till my exams so its too late to "knuckle down" and try and jam in as much as I can.
I can't stop thinking about "ending it all".
I just can't see another way.
But then I worry about how it'll affect people, and who might find me, and how I'll be seen as selfish, and I can't even comprehend what it'd do to my Dad.
Which stresses me out and makes me want to end this even more. I'm so sick of crying all the time and feeling this frustration and failure.
And I just want someone to run in and give me a way for this to all be alright. I am so desperate.. Just give me a reason to look at my future and not burst into tears.
I know this happened because of my own actions, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The most important thing is just being at school, if you're at school everything else will fall into place. Dont worry about exams they dont decide your life. There is alway community college and they take in anyone.
I know this is going to sound cheesy but just keep a positive attitude and everything will come so much easier.
If you believe you are going to fail and you cant get back on your feet, it will happen. If you believe there is a way and really believe you will find a way around this, you will! (Great movie called "The Secret" on this, watch it)
The first quarter just ended(at least for me)and there is always a way to get back on track.
Dont focus to much on the future and more on the present and you'll do fine. There is always away, everyone gets a second chance, and for others who need it a third and forth and fith and sixith and so on.
And also, you cant just accept it, you have to try to make it better, and you might, probebly will, cry some tears, but it is going to be tough and anyone you told you it would be easy was lieing to you.
Good luck, work hard. Im always here! ~Emily

The only person you hurt if you dont go to school is yourself hon, Be that strong woman, and ain for a succesful and realistic future, this isnt for mum,dad and friends either, this will be for You.

Have hopes and dreams hon, and make them come true ))))))
