I've been depressed lately and feeling bad..my friend betrayed me by going out with the guy she knew I liked and he had asked me out but I said no because I knew she liked him to and thought when he asked her out that she would say no to..but she didn't..now they're going out and it i'm depressed and feeling down..and my brothers moved away and now I am an only child at home..and I feel self-conciouse all the time about my height, nose, and sometimes I think im really pretty tho..Also..sometimes I feel I don't have a lot of friends and it makes me feel worse..Also because they are like 3 years younger than me..How do I stop feeling bad like this???HELP!!!

Is there anything you like to do? Like listening to music, driving, or hanging out with your friends? When I get depressed, I stop doing things I love, but once I get myself to do them, I ease out of it. Maybe you should treat yourself to something, or talk with someone you trust.
Don't worry about your height or your nose or anything else. You're you, which is special enough. If no-one else likes it, they can go elsewhere. As for your friends, I kinda know this feeling. I'll only look at my close friends and think that I have no friends because I have like, 3 or 4 really close ones, one being 3 years younger than myself. The thing here is to step back and look at the bigger picture. When I do, I find a lot of people that like me and consider me their friend. Who cares if your friends are three years younger than you? Psh, I bet we're pretty close in age and the "cool" thing is to have older friends. The only time having older friends is cool is when they are cool people. Not because they're 18 and can get whatever or are 16 and can drive. It doesn't matter. If anyone gives you grief about it, they're probably just jealous that you're comfortable enough around people that you can go through age groupings and get to know other people.
I hope you get through and that at least some of what I've said helps. Peace & Best!

You just learned a valuable lesson. Women can be the worst of creatures, even those who call themselves friends. Learn a lesson from this. Be more careful whom you choose to become your friend. You don't need a ton of friends, only a few really good ones are sufficient.
Look at it positively, even though I know that's very hard right now. Maybe fate did this because there is somebody better for you coming down the road. Maybe fate just saved you from heartbreak because this guy isn't all that great. Appearances are deceiving.
Stay positive. I'm sure you look just fine. When the right guy comes along, nobody is going to sway him from you. Until he arrives, enjoy your life. Get out. Just enjoy the sunshine, a good book or going somewhere to meet new friends.

My best peice of advice to you is to realize that these people are 3 years younger than you. You are 3 years more mature than they are, so don't let their actions suprise you. Tell your friend how you feel about her dating this boy, but only if you can refrain from personal attacks. If she doesn't care about how you feel she is obviously not a true friend and you should put her behind you. Life is just begining for you, this soon will be the least of your problems!

You could try enrolling in some sports program with people your own age. Challenge your skills a little, or take on the challenge of something new. You never know how many friends you might make by the end of summer. Who knows maybe you'll end up liking sports more than you ever thought. Good luck!

It's alot to deal with all at once. I've been there and it sucks. I'm not going to say that your friend is a horrible person. But most of my friends are guys, because guys aren't interested in getting your boyfriends or wanna be bf's. Just give it time and it will all work out. God Bless You!!

1st of all, talk to your friend about how you feel. but remember, there are tons of guys out there......i've never had an 'official' boyfriend and im fine. as for friends, age doesnt matter. all my guy friends are younger than me. it is good to have friends your own age too, all you have to do is be friendly and be yourself. trust me from personal experience, you'll find friends. just be patient. good luck...........

HOW OLD ARE YOU? YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF. DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT YOU, OR HOW YOU THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK JUST BE YOU. LOOK THE WAY YOU WANT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF BEFORE OTHER PEOPLE CAN. SPEND TIME WITH YOURSELF GET TO KNOW YOURSELF AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE. I PROMISE IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW YOU AND UNDERSTAND YOURSELF YOU WILL FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER.

You're NOT depressed, you're just upset. I didn't read your whole question, but some dumb pre-teen drama is not nearly enough to make someone depressed. Come on.
