    I have been feeling rather depresed.
    This past week has been the worst in general, first my sister moved to another country for god knows how long and she was my ONLY true friend, next the guy I feel like I am in love with hasn't been acting at all like he feels the same way which just kills me because my friends say he does but I don't think so on top of that it is harder to concentrate in school cause of this... I feel so bad that in school I broke down, I literally started to cry as I am writing this. What am I going to do? I feel like everyone hates me including my "love", my sister is gone and my friends act like they have to tell me what I want to hear, please help!

    Thank you so much in advance for such a long read, you don't know how much I need it right now.:)

    Barbie, you're young, and when you're young even one minor or major change can upset the whole balance. Your sister moving is still fresh and hurtful, so you're bound to be upset about it. Write to her, phone her, keep in touch, just because she's far away doesn't mean you two can't still have a close relationship.

    As for the guy you like, really, you will have many "loves" in your life before the right one comes along. Now, that doesn't mean that this doesn't hurt. Maybe he senses that you are a bit down right now, and he's distancing himself. Most men can't handle sadness, depression, so if you are exhibiting those he might just stay clear of you until this all passes. Make sense?

    Now, crying about all this is also normal, I remember going through these feelings when I was a teen, and it hurt so bad. The teen years really are the hardest years you'll ever go through, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Remember that everything you go through now will make you the person you will later become. Will you be strong, self assured, intelligent, well, all the experiences you have in life will lead the way to who you will be. Right now, just be yourself, experience life, don't let a few sad things bring you down. Big smile, like you mean it. ;)

    Do you keep a journal? That might help, it always did for me. Go out for a pizza night with your friends, or a movie. Have a sleepover, go meet new people. You only get to be a teen once, enjoy it. :)

    I know that I sound trite, but really, only you can get back on track, no one else can do it for you.

    Thank you so much, another thing is, as a joke my sister said "I hope you have bad luck this year" and ever since she said that I feel like my days have been getting worse, I personally am very superstitious, I believe in luck and I feel like she "jinxed" it, all I need is some assurance on that, that's what I'm most scared of.

    If there's one thing I've learned, it's this. You make your own luck. If you walk around all day waiting for something bad to happen, then odds are it will. If you walk around, head held high, optomistic and looking forward to the day ahead, well odds are that your day will be wonderful. It's all about your outlook, it really is.

    So, chin up, and tomorrow have the best day ever, wake up telling yourself that everything will be great, wonderful, the best day. Really, you'll be surprised what will happen if you really believe. :)
