Answer 1

Avoid being alone. When alone, you have the opportunity to hear your own thoughts. This can lead to many worrying problems, including getting to know yourself better, being more in tune with what you like and think, and most alarmingly, having a stronger sense of yourself. These are dangerous and frightening outcomes. Wise woe-mongers ward off such perils early. They learn to lean exclusively on others for all their insights into who they are and what they like – and you can do the same. Your friend can be the source to have laughter. It is impertant to have laughter. Read a joke book. Learn a joke, and tell it to a family member or friend. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh. If your family and friends don't know how to laugh, teach them by your example. Learn a new skill. Imagine the sense of accomplishment and the power of mastering a new skill. Like mesquite cooking. Like whittling. Like pterodactyl breeding. Oh well, two out of three. And if you learn that skill in a classroom setting, full of other energized new-skill-masterers, you get the bonus of seeing that positive face of the world, complete with smiles and busy dentists. Study history. Bad things happen. Good things happen. That's history. Today will one day be history that somebody reads about. So don't sweat it.

Answer 2

I think you are feeling the way you are simply because you are 13 years old. I had the same dreary feelings at that age and wish I had had someone to talk to . Your school counselor would be a good choice. I hope he/she can help you, but within a matter of only a couple of more years, you'll be feeling better. Keep your chin up.

Answer 3

Yes, tell the school counselor or the advisor. Better to deal with this earlier. They will get you to see a doctor.

Answer 4

It is very important to look after yourself no matter what others may think about you . If you share problems with others they work with you and not against you .
Talk to a doctor and your family and friends.
