Hello Romashu,

I am sorry to hear that you're depressed. Luckily, there are plenty of resources to help you deal with depression: http://boards.youthnoise.com/e.../a/frm/f/28410584663

I think that using drugs is a complete waste of time and money. That is not the way to solve yourproblems. And i personally think that everyone should wait tuntil they are married to have sex.

We both know this is kinda stupid for me to answer this cuz you know what I'm gonna say already.(like that's gonna stop me though =) You need to find that one thing that is going to make you happy no matter what. Once you find it don't let go! Just keep remembering that there is always something good even if its hard to keep around. Pretty please do this...it's how i made it (alive still (thank goodness)) through the seventh grade. (I'll tell you that story some time if I haven't already.) And you wanna know why you should just find the bright side?

...Through all the darkness in the world light will always prevail, but darkness on the other hand, can never show itself in the presence of light.


If all else fails I will totally listen to you because I really don't mind. I just want you to feel better and smile again!!!! I hate when I can't make people smile, especially you.

Are there any activities you like to do? Anything you could possibly do with your girlfriend?

I know firsthand that the outlook seems very bleak while depressed, but the first thing you need to tell yourself is that things will turn out okay. Having hope is a really big help.

If things get worse, you should definitely consider talking to a doctor. It could be a chemical imbalance that would best be fixed with medicine. But I'm no expert, so don't take my word for that.
