i am so numb to the sadness i feel. i dont want to talk to anyone and i feel like i have no true friends. my teachers even say bad things about me and make me feel worthless. my friends sometimes stick up for me but i think im wearing them down. my step dad said he only cares about me because he is married to my mom. he doesnt want to know anything about me. i feel so sad. i have cried countless times today and i really want to know someone out there cares for me. i am starting to detache myself from the world. i really need help.

Yes. I was at a point in my life where I truly knew the meaning of depression.
I would suggest speaking to your doctor about things you can do. Don't let the first option be medicine (anti depressants). Depression is an extremely hard thing to beat and many people, young and old, experience depression at some point in their life. Please don't let people tell you that you are "emotional". Depression is real and it sounds like you are very depressed.
I think you should speak to your mom about what your step dad said to you. That's a very hurtful thing to say, especially to someone (I'm assuming) who is so young. Please don't let what other people say upset you. I know it's hard but people dogged me my entire life and I have been more successful than all of them.
Speak to someone you trust about this. You'll get past it in time.
Good luck and take care.

Yes, I do believe you are depressed. You should find someone to talk to and definately find some emotional support. You are not the only person to ever feel like this. Maybe you could visit a counselor or a church. Churches also have people willing to lend an ear and help you find your way back to feeling good about yourself. Churches are made up of all different types of people from different walks of life. Maybe you'll find someone who can tell you first hand how they came out of depression. Now, about your stepdad... No decent man would ever say that to his child or stepchild, so he obviously has issues of his own. Do not take to heart what a person like him thinks about you. If your friends have stood by you through this its because they see that you are a good person so keep hope alive. Good luck and God bless you!

You may be depressed, both from your inner perspective on things, and what sounds like some insensitive people around you. I'm sorry.
Depression is treatable if you get counseling. Start at school, and go from there. If your mom can help, great. But if she lets your step-dad talk to you this way, she may be incapable of helping.
You can feel better, but it will take some strength and work on your part. Good luck!

I want to thank you for summing courage to talk about this issues, you're doing what others in your position can't do. I was once in a similar position .What help me was my love for music and ambition to succeed in life.I studied hard and I'm an engineer today , I was hard but I challenge my self on every opportunity that I had to be the best . Right now,they cant reach touch, I prayed to God to forgive them

you do sound depressed to me. i know it's hard to accept that things are changing around you and people that are close to you seem to not care but i'm sure they do. maybe you've took things in the wrong way? i think you should speak to someone. it dosen't even have to be a family member, maybe a friend. if your friends think that you definatley need to seek help then maybe you should see a councillor?
