Answer #1

Unfortunately it is normal. Your body is going through a lot and I know it can’t be easy to be a teenager these days, you guys don’t have it very easy. Do you have someone you can talk to? The worst thing you can do is get into bad habits like drugs and/ or alcohol. A friend of mine did that and she ended up frying her brain and ruining the rest of her life. She was a beautiful, smart and funny girl but then she went and starting drinking and doing drugs and then by the time she went to college she thought she was married to a dead rock star and was terrified of shampoo because the bubbles were killers. Seriously, it was sad. She became homeless and wouldn’t let anyone help her and no one, including her family has heard from her in years.

So please know that even if things seem tough, they will get better. Do you have any hobbies or are there things that make you happy? I used to read when I felt blue. I’m 29 now and still a good book that you can get lost in and forget your problems is truly wonderful. Especially in a long hot bubble bath :)

Answer #3

It’s VERY normal. I’m 15 and I was VERY depressed at that age. I don’t know. School and friends and family stressed me out. Sometimes, I felt very alone even thouh I literally was not. As you find more happiness new relationships, it’ll go away. My boyfriendwhom I’m with for 2 years now has taken away my depression.

much love.
