Simply a Rose to brighten your day, And maybe lessen the cares in your way; And also, too, to help you to know, That in knowing you, many others grow!

You are at an age where hormones, emotions and even your brain are undergoing strong changes. It is natural to occasionally feel confused or depressed.

The best thing you can do is to talk to a counselor or therapist. Barring that, find someone you can communicate your emotions and thoughts with, sort of like a sounding board. Keeping your thoughts to yourself doesn’t help. If you can’t find someone around you then consider Fun Mailing someone on Fun Advice whose advice you like. It’s relatively private and gives you a good sounding board.

Fun Mail a “sounding board”!

I would assume that you can’t talk about what you are going through with anyone because it is too personal and you don’t want others to know about it in relation to you.

The solution, then, might be to pick someone on Fun Advice whose advice you like and Fun Mail them. (You can check out the quality of someone’s advice by clicking on their name; going down to their recent advice, click on view all, then click on the questions that might interest you and view their answers.) Explain to them that you are having problems and want to have someone to use as a “sounding board” and would like to know if they would be willing to be your sounding board. Fun Mail is basically private, so you shouldn’t have any concerns about your privacy.

Although there are many users on Fun Advice who would be qualified, I’d suggest the person be an Advisor, for two reasons: First, most Advisors have several hundred or even thousands of Answers under their belt which can really give you a perspective about them; and second, you can simply click on the Advisors link at the top of the page and view a list of the most recently active Advisors with information about them AND a total of their Answers. (Don’t contact them by that “Ask me a question” link. That’s public. Instead, click on their name which will take you to their Profile page, then click on the “Send me Fun Mail” link on the left side of the page.)

You also have the ability to Fun Mail anyone (Advisor or otherwise) by clicking on the “Send me Fun Mail” link near the top of the Answer under the person’s name.

okay so what you can do is find a hobbie my parents are doing the same thing I miss the old days but if you find something to take your mind off of it life will be great and at scool just focus on your grades and everything will be fine

Answer #4

Look to the Bible for happiness. Read: Revelation 21:3, 4 and check out http://www.watchtower.org/e/20060615/article_02.htm

Answer #5

yes there is a secret to happiness I agree w/ happiness08 go to Rev 21:3,4. you may not feel like reading the bilble but I promise that it will help you. go to the website mentioned to you above. but if you can try to talk to a Jehovah’s Witness they are always helpful. You may think that they have nothing to do w/ your life but if you tell them what you just wrote they will help you. fun mail me and tell me if it gives you any reults. or check out my profile and leave any comments. hope this helps you.

Answer #7

the only advice I can give you is tell your parents! The only reason your quiet is because of the background your from! dont hate me for saying that! I’ve studied psychology, you r who you r… you r depressed yes, go 2 your gp and express what you just said! if you tell your parents how you feel maybe they’ll treat you like an adult and tell you how they are feeling and include u

it sounds you r being left out!

good luck and try 2 b happy it isnt your fault xx
