For the past few months I have been sad all the time and at night it seems the worst. However, I don't have many ways to get rid of it, and it always seems to be there gnawing at me. I am not depressed, and I do not think that there is a history of depression in my family, but it is driving me crazy. The worst part of it is that recently I have been thinking of cutting b/c according to everyone it does help with hurting. I know that it's bad to do, and doesn't fix anything, but that doesn't seem to register when I'm considering doing it. I am sure that I am not experiencing anything not normal for a 17yo guy, and I live a very comfortable life, so it's not anything serious, but I just cant seem to get happy and I don't want to start cutting. Does anyone have any advise, on what to do, and how to get over sadness?

talk to parents, guidance counselor, seek medical help. just because there is not depression in your family does NOT mean it cant creep. wake ur parents up NOW, not in the morning, and talk to them, or someone.

There must me something at the root of your sadness. If not, it is a chemical imbalance known as depression, regardless of your genetic history.
Cutting is an illness of itself, and should not be considered as an option fr overcoming this. If you are looking for ways to soothe this, please see a doctor first before you do anything detrimental.
Good luck, and I wish you the best.

It sounds like you are depressed. I suggest you speak with someone about how you feel. Talk to your parents a school counselor. Talk with someone.

go talk to a therapist
talking to them helps much more than any parent or friend
because they dont judge you
and they wont tell your parents what you say.
they may tell your parents how to help you
but they NEVER repeat what you say.
i hope everything gets better.
goodluck
