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.
I really hate being single. Well, that isn't exactly true. I don't mind being single sometimes while I am by myself. When I really hate being single, is when I am out with my brothers and their girlfriends, or when I am with my bestfriend and her boyfriend. I hate being the 3rd wheel, because I am always left out. Even if the try not to, it happens anyways. And then there is the lovie dovie stuff, and I get stuck having to see that. It just makes me feel like crap. And it just never changes. They always seem to be the center of attention, and I just get shoved into the background. And because I have been bullied and have a hard time just going up to people and talking to them, getting shoved to the background doesn't help. But I go out with them anyways in the hopes of fitting in, but that never really happens. I pretty much stand by myself and watch as my brother or my bestfriend talks to people. I just wish that I could find someone that would help me get out there and talk to people. But that just can't happen for me. Never happens for me..... Must be true, that saying 'Good guys finish last'. Definately feels like it.... :'(

The right girl will come along...trust me. And talking to people is really hard when you don't know what to say. What parts do you have troubles in when talking to people maybe I can help (:

Pretty much all of them. I don't know what to say, I don't know how to keep a conversation going, I feel like I am an idiot and that people are thinking that whenever I talk to them, and I am so scared of getting judged, that it makes it almost impossible for me to talk to someone in person unless it is with someone I know.

Ohhhhh (hug) i am sorry to hear that. I think you got a low self confidence and shyness problem. Have u talked to ur therapist about it?!! Maybe we should talk some day soon :)

I'm not going to a therapist right now. Don't have anyone to really talk to about it.

I am in the same boat as you...unfortunately. The worst part is that my 2 best friends started dating. Awkward times all the time. They try to not make me feel like an outsider so they include me in EVERYTHING, when in reality, it's just making me feel even worse. I try to be friends with people, I'm just not as social as I should be I guess. My best girl friend is extremely social/hyper/happy all the time. I feel like I'm being compared to her. Why would anyone want me when they can have her? Anyway, I understand what you're going through. You can message me anytime :)

oy! welcome to my world.. .I went away for spring break with 12 of my friends, and EVERYONE was paired up with their boyfriends. I didn't have that much fun at all. We went to a club and I was miserable and no one really did anything about it.. and now AGIAN everyone at school has boy friends and i am this sweet little girl who has been single for 4 years and no one was even a potential boy friend.. I feel your pain! If you ever want to talk just message me or email me, I'll inbox you my email address if you want it.. I could always use someone to talk to.
