Ok, so when I was 10 my mother passed away. And I had to come live with my dad and step mom.I hadn't seen my dad in over 5 yrs. and i had never met my step mom. We got along in the beginning. And as time went by its like the likingness just went away. Now all there is, is arguing and everybody being stressed out and ppl trying to avoid other ppl just to be less stressed. Now my grandma has lived with us over a yr. And thats just added to are problems. it likes nothings good enough for anybody i've tried talking about it to them but they don't even let me finish. And if your going to say just try talking to them again don't even bother b/c i wont. I get yelled at. Now i'm on anti-depr. and my dad says i'm just on them b/c i want to fit in with the cliche at school. I'm 16 now and i don't even have close to the normal life of a 16 yr. old. I don't know what to do! I just want to die. I hate it here. I've tried everything to make it better and its just not good enough. Can sum 1 help me!!

Being a teenager is really hard. It is even harder when you don't get along with the people closest to you. Also depression would not help this situation. Are you seeing a councellor as well as taking the anti-depressants? If not maybe you could, it might help you to have someone to talk to that is seperate from your family. It is hard, but we all have to try and accept eachother for who we are and when you have grown up you will not have to live with your parents anymore either, so work hard at school and try to prepare for your future as an adult. Then you can go out on your own and be able to live as you wish. But now it is very important to make the most of the situation you are in, see that councellor and maybe they will help you sort out your home relationships and assist you to overcome your depression. You may then find life easier to live.

Wow. Being 16 is very stressful for most people. You might be surprised how many of your schoolmates have the same feelings, even without having lost a mother and moving into a different family.
I really do feel for you; I have been 16 and I have been the mother of one.
I mean, don't think they aren't suffering too. Having a teen stressing in the house is just as stressful as being one. Parents worry so much about their kids, even when they don't know what to do about it. And it sounds like your family is going through a lot even apart from having a teen the house.
I would recommend that you find a really good counselor you can talk to. You are growing up, and need to have somebody outside the family to talk to, though I hope you can keep a good relationship with your family too. Talk to the school counselor for a start.
If you can talk to another adult too, that will be good. There really is hope for the future, but you have to work at it.
I wish you the best.

No one can make your life better but you. You have to make a decision to not let them get to you so much. When you're at home stay busy and out of their way, so that you don't end up in the middle of anything. You are on antidepressants because apparently a Dr thought you needed them and it sounds like you do. People can be rude and don't think before they speak. Do your part to get along with everyone the best you can.
