I really have started to realise that I have don't nothing with my school life. That I have never made friends, been social or have had fun. Being in year 12 it reallly has started to haunt me. I am starting to feel so depressed.

I don't want this to affect my year 12 marks. Howevr I am struggling to feel happy about myself. I don't have anyone to go to, so i have ben trying to get by this on my own.

Any advice?

Make friends, because friendship is magic.

And with a few months to go until the HSC, there's still plenty of time.

But I have never made friends...I don't know how to.

You cannot simply say make friends

You know what's stopping you from making friends? You and that attitude.

Never tell yourself you can't do something, because you'll never do it. If you truly want to make friends you will try - it's as simple as talking to someone. Failing that, starting uni or whatever you do next year will always be an easy way to make friends.

WOuld that help?
Definitely, dogs are very loving creatures and would increase your endorphin levels and provide you with some stimulation/company. Dogs are proven to help with depression.

But it is so difficult. It isn't just friends.

I just feel as the whole world hates me and that i should crawl in a hole and die. Nothing has worked out for me and nothing will. I feel as I am doomed to feel this way all my life.

I have a dog, but i still feel really depressed all the time

OP, I will be your friend. You have my email adress, add me on msn.
You're not alone, and no one hates you.


You have a term left of this, and then you're going to go to uni and meet awesome people.

And why should anything work out for you if you're saying it never will? By dwelling in this state you're not going to achieve anything or get anywhere - you have to be the one that's proactive. You see something that's too hard and don't bother trying instead of closing your eyes and seeing how far you can get.

Youtube search motivational videos if you have to, you'll find a heap.

You're only doomed to feel this way if you let it control you.
