This year i came to feel this way
i wake up, go to school, get through school roughly, go home, eat, do my homework at a slow pace, watch tv, sleep, wake up, and do the same thing over...then on weekends i replace school with work
i have this thought that i live every day just to get to the next day
i feel that life is the same thing over again and i am starting to get depressed
i feel very lonely and notice my life is a pattern and boring things
i do sometimes go out but i dont think about those times
however, i feel that the only thing that can change me is having a girlfriend
am i getting depressed or im just feeling lonely?
my friends all think im a very happy person but when im home im sad, i cant go out with my friends much so i so it some times
what is my problem and how can i fix it?
main issue: feel like everyday is the same thing over and over again and nothing new happens
and oh ya im 17.

someone who is "Depressed" would never have the energy to accomplish what you are accomplishing, and would not write such a letter as yours. you are bored. that's all. the fact that you are 17 tells me you want to expand your horizons and find more sophisticated ways to challenge yourself.

I am in the exact same position as you, however, I graduated from high school last week and am on holidays at the moment and studying for exams. I got myself through the year without a boyfriend, I just reminded myself over and over again of all the things I could do when I was finished. Try not to live so much in the present, think of everything you can do if you have a gap year next year! I'm Australian, so when I turn 18 in January next year, I'm technically an adult, and have adult responsibilties which I'm looking forward to. And shake things up! Quit your job! You have your whole life to work! Use that time to do things you wouldn't normally do! Have a bit of fun!

Your upset because you have no one to hold lol :) Plus your life may be getting stale (no one can do the same thing over and over for very long), so my advice is:
1.) Create new friends ontop of your present ones.
2.) Plan a trip, even just a road trip with your friends to another city.
3.) Don't worry about work, it isn't your life and never should be.
4.) You choose to have a bad day, will you let your life control you, or will YOU control your life - in other words, your emmotions aren't you, you have control over them, so if your having a crap day, then just find something in it that is good - you may not have a girl friend, but you aren't jobless - so you have money to spend on yourself lol !

Maybe you just need to start a new hobby or get more involved in school activities. The main thing is to keep yourself busy but obviously at this stage, school is a very important part of your life.
That's why you should see about the kinds of things the school offer and take part in them.
And, just try to be grateful for the things you do have. Friends, you're getting a good education. I don't think you particularly need a girlfriend to be happy.

I do that too, every day. =) But I actually am starting to love life! Sure it's boring, but hey, get a hobby! Hang out with friends! Plan something you could do weekly. I see my therapist and go to an afterschool program. There is always a way to fix boredom.

you may be a little depressed dude, but i don't think i would classify you as clinically depressed. you are going through big changes in your life right now and getting into the real world soon - its tough stuff
suggest you see a school counselor tomorrow first thing, just to chat, let us know how you get on,
