If you haven't had anything happen to you to make you sad lately, then its a bit harder to figure out. Have you had these sad feelings before? If so, did they go away on their own, or did you have some type of treatment? Everyone has some down times, but if they are lasting longer than two weeks, you may be depressed, and just because you can't pinpoint a reason, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you have a school counselor or trusted person to talk to, that might help. Take care

Hi Hun! Theres got to be a reason! Have you been sexually abused? Have you been abandoned by someone? Boyfriend/girlfriend? Have you lost someone close to you by death or a moving away? Or The big one! Are you just not happy with yourself? There has to be a reason! What is your mental diagnosis? Are you bi-polar? Do you have Some kind of depression? The best thing to do hun is to get a hold of some one that are professionals at this sort of thing. Like you I am very sad too. So I go see my Therapist every other week. He helps me tackle everyday problems that seem to just make me sadder. Plus I'm bi-polar and fall into a very deep depression. So go ahead and contact a Psychologist, maybe you need medicine to help balance out your moods. Hun! please call this hot line to ask for help they will talk to you and try to help you as much as they can. 1-800-442-7315 They might be able to recommend a doctor to go to. Best of luck hun! Email me if you want! I will talk to you and try to make suggestions that might help you! Hugs!

Is it something that happened? Your not being very clear. We need some kind of clue...Is it your family? Your friends? Something that happened?
If your sad just all the time for no reason.. Go see a doctor it could be depression. Do you not enjoy your usual activies? Do you have issues sleeping? Eating?
regular episodes of sadness, tearfulness, or crying
hopelessness
increased irritability, anger, or hostility
persistent boredom or fatigue
low self esteem
feelings of guilt
inability to concentrate
acute sensitivity to rejection or failure
loss of interest or pleasure in previously enjoyed activities
social isolation, withdrawal
difficulty with relationships
physical illnesses associated with stress (headache, stomachache)
ditching classes often, even when your friends aren't
school grades tanking
loss of appetite or constant hunger
too little or too much sleep, increasing fatigue
alcohol or drug abuse including marijuana
self-injury or mutilation (cutting, burning, biting)
discussion or thoughts of suicide.
Go to a doctor if you feel you have any of those. They can better inform you and possibly get you help i.e. therapist, medication etc etc
Good luck =\
It sucks being sad. Especially for no reason at all.

If you don't know why, then its depression caused by a brain chemical imbalance. Look up Serotonin:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin
when this chemical is out of "whack" in the brain, we all can get depressed. However, a doctor (general practitioner) or psychiatrist can diagnose this and give you proper medication to correct the imbalance and correct it. Also call your local County Mental Health Clinic or County Health Clinic and ask if they have a psychiatrist you can see on call, they usually base it on "pay or salary" so that its quite affordable for you.
Good luck!

Don't worry, we all have those days when we are sad for no aparent reason. Maybe you know the reason why deep down inside, but you just not realizing it. But better days are comming, tomorrow will be a new day.

Garden variety manic depressive. Search for a vocation that keeps your mind off yourself while challenging the senses. A lion-tamer for example.

eat ice cream or something sweet
take a nap. If you're not tired, read a good book until you're tired
if you're worried about yourself, talk to a doctor or call any of many, many help lines (search the Internet)

Take a capsule of St. John's Wort and stop feeling sorry for yourself. I call St. John's my good faith effort to have a good attitude. It usually works.
