Again, not sure where to post this...?

Why, world.... Life is but an unforgiving, long-forgotten dream... And you can row your boat until your heart's content, because no one will be waiting farther down stream...

Guys, I need help... I'm a very confused and depressed teenager... And my parents are not understanding me properly, and I cry every day... Things just suck!

Does anyone know of places I can buy sound proofing stuff? I need to lock myself up for a while where I can't here anybody's (excuse me) bitching. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm complaining.. but... I don't want this to go on... Just.... ahhhh

I sometimes wish I were in a coma.

What if everything you knew never existed? What if all we really are is just dust in the wind? Dammit, I don't know what I'm talking about... Not even sure if I want to post this, but here goes...

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I promise you that five years from now you won't remember what you were upset about.
Trust me on that.

I remember when I was 3... and yes, I actually DO remember this, not being a smart butt.... when my mother would try to put shoes on my feet, I would squirm away and go off and bang my forehead against the floor in protest.

When I was 6, I thought... Man I was stupid when I was 3. 

When I was 12 I thought, man I was so stupid when I was 6. 

So on and so for, until now.  Last year I thought, Man I was such a dumbass when I was 21.  Now I'm 25 and KNOW EVERYTHING!

When I'm 30 I will look back and think, jesus christ I was an idiot when I was 25.

I know that none of this helps you where you are now, but it's something to look forward to.  When stuff gets you down, try to imagine yourself when you're 25 or 30 when everything is better, more calm, and more in your control.  Because when you're 25 or 30, you'll be looking back on the age you are now... fondly

As the days progress earth dies a little more. 10 years ago everything had more energy, more life. Now, days seem to be more depressing, more gray. Just hang in there, everyday that goes by is another day closer to when you can do what you want, to when you can be free. You create your own happiness, or your own sorrow.

This reminds me of when I was a teen. It was terrible and I am so glad its over. I am so much happier now. Try to look forward, you will be so much better off. I think being a teen is the most difficult time in life. Looking back, nothing I deal with now comes close to the anguish I endured, and that is saying a lot, trust me. Hang in there, its worth it, you will be stronger for it. Godspeed.

Thank you guys... You don't know (although you probably do) how great it is to hear these things... Does anyone on here IM? There are some things I'd like to discuss without the whole world knowing.

Hey man, I know what it's like to deal with depression in conjunction with clueless, unreliable and sometimes harmful family. It's a cold experience having no one to depend on... but that just means *you* have to become the person that you can depend on... financially but more importantly, emotionally. If you are your own guiding light no one can hurt you... they can just bother you for a little while. If you need advice feel free to shoot me a pm. There are also plenty of support forums out there for depression, troubling life issues, etc. and they welcome newcomers with open arms.
