Well to me my life is pointless.
I hate myself, I just hate everything about my life. It's hard to explain, but I just feel worthless. I'm that one person at school (I'm grade 10 btw) that is always 'happy' and I feel like that's what people always expect of me. So whenever I'm feeling down, no one is there to help me.
The only reason I pursue to keep living is for my family and friends. To be completely honest, if I had no one, and if no one cared if I died I wouldn't continue my life. My view on 'living' is why go through so much pain in your life to have a few moments of happiness. (This is just my opinion and I respect other peoples.)
I've been feeling this way for a couple of months now. I just don't feel myself.
Sorry for venting, but what I'm trying to ask is, am I suicidal, do I have depression or is this a phase?
Thanks.

It's good that you keep going because for the purpose of your family and friends.. if you feel no one helps you, have you tried telling your family or friends? They are your family, and technically the closed people to you, so It's always good to talk to them..family should be there to support you no matter what.. and if they give up then how would they be real family?
If its necessary you could visit the GP and ask them to refer you to a counsellor who can help you, it just depends how you feel, give it a couple more months, but you definitely sound like you need some help though. But the first thing I recommend is speaking to you family since they should come first. I don't think your suicidal because if you are, then you'd be making suicide plan and attempting them. People who are depressed are very lonely people who don't have any/or few friends, can't trust anyone and don't talk to people..part of it comes under self esteem. I wouldn't be able to say if you had depression, I think speak to your family first, try what ever it takes to get things better, and if it doesn't work then I would have thought you had depression.
Its a phase... but its also a phase because you're so alive inside.. and the world outside seems unfair..
People grow up - but they are not lively anymore ! They become like these mechanical social machines... like ants or something... Job, job,work,work,money,money,status,status,socializing,socializing... !
They forget to live !! And then they die without really having to live anytime -and that's why they are afraid ... because they are not Satisfied in the end, with their own life !!
A rarely satisfied person... who is content with what he has lived - dies with a smile !
How does one really get satisfaction in life ? So that you don't become another NUMB social animal - who is actually dead inside !!
The very definition of 'happiness' set by our society is not right - when all it wants us to pursue is status, social quotient, money, valuable possessions !
Real satisfaction is gained by being human... having empathy for everyone even animals and insects.. helping others in various ways you can... making others happy...and the most important one - following your Passion ! (for some its even praying to god/meditating)
Now your passion might be different from others, you might have not even found it yet like some are naturally good and passionate about something... and as you're still in your early years - you should find that passion and pursue it !
I don't know how this works - but it satisfies you inside.. it gives you reason to live and not just go-through with life like others - you start to look forward to each day, so you can improve upon your own passion, so you can maybe help another being on the planet !
Ah! Living is beautiful ! And you're just figuring out - that is so awesome !!
Weather you are suicidal or not, it's not worth it. Suicide may end your pain, but it brings twice the amount of pain on your family and fiends. If you don't fell right or hate yourself you should find counceling. Or even just a friend or family member. It isn't safe keeping this to yourself and bad things will come from it. My brothers best friend commit suicide about a month ago and it hit my town hard. He was a cool kid, athletic, girls thought he was handsome, smart, he just graduated highschool and was heading to penn state. He has severe depression. Yes he ended his pain but his impact on my town was borderline unbearable. Nothing will ever be that bad where one should take their own life. You have so much to live for. Please tell someone and talk to them. I hope I've helped you realize you have a meaning in this world.
Ask Jesus to help you. I am praying for you too sweetie. You are here for a reason. God made you unique and beautiful and someone somewhere needs to hear something that you have to say. Help someone else solve a problem. When we help others we simultaneously are helping ourselves. Hold onto hope and when you feel sad remember something funny or a loving and happy moment. It will get you through the tough times. (Love and Hugs in Jesus)
Don't worry it's just a phase. I'll be starting tenth grade in a week too! Warren Buffett's who's my ultimate mentor, said that the definition of success is to be surrounded by people you want to love you who love you. Just do that. Friends and family are not about number, but more about quality. You shouldn't care what anyone else thinks of you. Find something you like to do, and keep doing it. Cheers!
no you are not depressed or suicidal but it might lead there so maybe you should talk to someone such as a school counsellor.
I'd say you're depressed. You still have so much life in front of you - don't waste it.
