it's summer and i have no friends to hang out with. i've been alone in my room, having nothing to do. i'm just sitting there being depressed. some people say i should join clubs at my school to make friends but my school doesn't offer any clubs. or sports. i'm also on probation so i can't get a job. i'm running out of hope. i just wanna feel loved and be a normal teenager. i feel so lonely.im thinking about joining a class or group or club of some sort this summer. maybe start drivers ed to make some friends this summer. (i'm 16 btw) it's hard though cause i have social anxiety. whatever.

Hello and welcome! Sorry to hear you are going thru so much at such an age. If you can't get a paying job being on probation-how about volunteer work? I would encourage you to find clubs/groups to get involved with..not only helps you but others as well

Challenge yourself to do something by yourself. You are young and socialization is important. However, sometimes just venturing out and doing something you enjoy can have you meet someone with the same interest. Also, being on probation does not keep you from working. You can sell newspapers or speak with your probation officer who should have a list of friendly employers who will not hold your probation against you. Last but not least, live in the moment. Probation does not define you. Go do something you enjoy by yourself and you will be surprised how fast the anxiety subsides.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
