I'm depressed and I don't know what to do?

[Danielle]

So pretty much I'm 16 years old and I'm a sophomore. For the past 4-6 months I think I've been suffering from a case of depression :/ I'm skinny but i don't have a pretty face at all it's so gross eww I went to a new school last year and at first people liked me but then this girl spread a bunch of nasty rumors about me so now a year and a half later I only have a few close friends not a lot really and not popular at all. I honestly feel like everyone hates me their and talks about me meanly behind my back. Because of this I'm really quite at school. I've lost a ton of friends this year too I've also never had a bf and I'm convinced boys don't fine me attractive. I'm not good at sports I don't really have a talent and I don't see my life getting any better I wish I was prettier and had more friends and was actually good at something I should also mention that I was diagnosed with aspergers at age 2 and although I have improved a lot I still hate it what should I do? HELP

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time. Highschool is a miserable time for just about everybody including myself. I had only a few friends and got messed with all the time. I was really depressed and at six feet tall, I only weighted 130 pounds, and thought I was really unattractive. I know this isn't about me, but I know what it's like. What I realized though, is that if your unhappy about something, all you can do is try an improve your life and make it something your proud of. What helped me was going to the gym and getting in shape. I also tried really hard in school, and just stuck to my real good friends. In the end, you'll only generally keep those people after highschool. Don't let these insecure girls make you feel bad about yourself, because that's all it is. People in highschool are really cruel, and just use you as your door matt to make themselves feel better. It's okay that you've never had a boyfriend, you have your whole life to do that, and trust me I didn't date much either. Sometimes life is just really hard, but it shows you what you're made of. It shows you what you need to do to be happy. Karma will get back at these people, and just try an live your life the best you can. Look around and find all the things there are to be thankful for. It took me to finish highschool to really grow into the person I wanted to be, and now I really can't say I'd change much about my life. Find somethng you enjoy doing, and don't worry about what other people think. Don't let these dumb girls bother you, because in my experience.. Most of the girls that were attractive and "popular" in highschool are discusting, used up, losers now.. And the girls that weren't so pretty, turned out to be stunning. Life is testing you, and you need to work through it, and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Focus on collegeeeeeee. That should be your main priority. I'm only 22, and I'm telling you that's the most important thing. Do what makes you happy and forget about sports, popularity, and fake friends. Focus on you, and improving your life. Focus on the life you can have with a good job and a nice pay check. Worked for me =]. Good luck, I feel for you, find what makes you happy. I honestly I have 3 friends, and I've had them since 2nd grade, don't worry hun.

I was in a similiar situation a couple years ago.. I had just moved to a new place and was having a hard time meeting new people. Especially cause most the people at school didn't seem to like me all that much. Having less parties and things to go to did give me more time to spend on school and stuff, so thats a plus. I eventually decided to join a volleyball team and got a job at chikfila to make some extra cash. I made many great friends at those two places! Sometimes all you need is a new environment! I would say go try something new, join band, or Junior ROTC (if your school offers it), a sport,or any other club or thing that interests you! I hope stuff gets better for you sweetie!
