it has to be from the point of view of the depressed person who had some kind of unfortunate happenings in their lives

Embrace fatalism in the monologue. Nothing you do matters. Life seems so pointless. God can't possibly care, nor does anyone else for that matter. Can't go wrong with that... it's making me depressed just thinking about it.
The beauty of depression (so to speak) is that life details are largely irrelevant. People who you'd think have everything going for them can nonetheless be horribly depressed. It's how you SEE what's going on that makes the difference, not what's actually happening. In that sense, you can write about things you are very familiar with, but just slant them in a 'depressed' way. Makes it both easier AND more realistic!

Listen to some blues music!
....Or if you don't like the blues, perhaps you can fabricate a tragedy out of little annoyances, like the old saying goes... "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill."
You can also place the person in very bad circumstances, such as an abusive or dysfunctional family environment. Or the person could be an alcoholic or drug addict, and he has to rely on the substance he's abusing, and he's also running out of money and friends, etc. A homeless person might be a good start too. They lead a very rough life on the streets. Bullying and harrassment at school sounds like a good topic, something that the other kids and teachers can identify with.
Hope these ideas help.
Edit: Oh... and I suggest you use a spell checker if that's how you usually write. And watch your punctuation and spacing, too, and you're good to go. (I'm just saying, use this stuff in the monologue...)

heavily? At sixteen? Get a job. <-thinks all and sundry by the summer season that they are sixteen could have a job, except education and bigger curricular events do no longer enable for it. pay attention that overly deliberate events not often prove as exciting as they seem to be they are going to be. merely enable stuff take place (no longer definitely all and sundry like competitions). At a sea coast party all you like is human beings and foodstuff. in case you are able to desire to have some style of aggressive interest you will have a sandcastle construction contest.

A hippie who misplaced his bag of killer weed. He is going crazy with angst! in fact he's so depressed about losing his weed, that his high is wearing off faster than normal. Then finally, he finds it in the last place he looks...in his pocket! "Let's Roll!"

Someone who has lost a child is pretty depressing

If you'd like a little about my depression, ask me. I won't post it here. It will only be brief. No intimate details. I'm ok now.
Senior citizen.

Someone who has been rejected/dumped by their only love, perhaps?...
think of Shakespeare.
p.s. Be sure to use a spell-checker before you turn it in.
