I pray all the time! I pray so I can over come things! But are there other ways other then praying and talking to someone about it? I'm curious!

It depends on what those things are. There might be actual behaviors you can change in yourself to make a difference.
Are there times you aren't depressed? When you are doing what?
Have you been seeing a counselor?
How often do you see the counselor?
Have you told him/her that counseling doesn't seem to be helping your depression and that you are still depressed five days a week?
Make a list of depression-busting activities for during those five days --
Read a book
Help someone with learning times tables
Work on spelling and grammar (lots of online tests)
Read ahead in textbooks
Read the poetry by a famous poet such as Emily D!ckinson or William Wordsworth
Ask someone to teach you how to do something -- bake or cook a simple dish or take apart a carburetor or paint a watercolor/tempera painting
Read happy, positive books.
Draw scenes or symbols or objects from the Bible.
Another app is a Bible verse a day. You can get it texted to you or emailed daily.
At your school library or at the public library, ask one of the librarians to show you where the Newbery Award winners are. One of my favorites is Holes by Louis Sachar. Two more are Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson and Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan. And when I was your age, I read every horse book I could get my hands on.
Yea, my aunt is a teacher and I had her when I was 5th grade. I hated it because I was the only one she was mean to... Which I have never really liked my aunt! I still feel bad because if you would have been my mom or dad I would have got smacked in the face or grounded for the rest of my life. Just please forgive me!
Do you have any friends to do things with?
Apology accepted. :)
The reason I was asking about friends was because I am trying to gain a better understanding of what goes on in your every day life. I read that you lost your sister. I am sorry to hear that. That must have been very hard on you and your family. Is that when your depression started?
Thanks for accepting! Oh,OK! Yea, she died when I was 9! Worst thing ever happened to me and my family! The depression did start when she died! But, recently got worse!
