Recently, Ive been very sad/depressed....school sucks, family problems etc....Im always a bit down. But even when I am happy, something always comes up and brings me back to depression again....it feels really awful.

Now, I am a teenager, so maybe this is just a phase...but are there any things that could help me?

Well you could always talk with some specialist. That has helped me a lot, much better than medication.

The key is to stop caring about other people :)

But be careful what specialist you choose. A lot of them will actually make you worsen...

Do something to make it better. Sitting back and feeling sorry for yourself will no solve anything. Get up and do something that you enjoy, then decide on some way of improving your current situation.

Is there someone you can talk to? Talking helps and expressing your feelings. It might sound lame, but it is better than the alternative, which could lead to worsening depression and/or suicide.

Spend time with friends usually works. Exersice is also good at making people feel good.

Your hormones might have alot to do with it.  I turned 16 recently and sometimes fell how you described.  Try not to worry about it dude.  Try just listening to some happy music, watching happy movies, laughing with friends and stuff.  I have mood swings, and I know I am having them, which makes me angrier :lol:
Just don't worry about it; it'll pass I'm sure.

I found that keeping myself busy and finding a hobby (or hobbies) really helps. These forums are great to pass the time, but when I spend a lot of time on here I get really down for some reason. I feel like I'm wasting my life. So, I'd recommend that you try and keep busy and hang out with friends or make new ones etc, and maybe get into working out or playing a sport, anything to take your mind off it.

play some football (soccer) listen to some good music you like not depressing songs go out with mate don't worry about the exams so much, try not to spend the whole day on your pc or watching TV. what football team do you support I support Man United try following your team it takes your mind of things and gives you and your friends something to talk about. hope I helped

Why don't you get a hold of some anti-depressants? That's guaranteed to cheer you up!

Suicide is the only answer. But seriously, get a hobby.

The only thing that cheers me up when I feel sad is read Garfield Strips, or watch funny videos.
