Have you tried telling your parents you feel this way? Maybe they can offer you some guidance. Remember to call emergency services right away if you feel suicidal!

He's not suicidal, he just feels bored and tired of his situation.

My advice: get into extracurricular activities and try shit you've never done before. Your parents will support it and might even help you financially (sports, clubs, etc).

My high-school sucked too, I know the feeling; we all did. Honestly.
Also, suck it up. Finish high-school and get out; explore. That's what my father told me and now I'm telling you.

Judging from your name, you're probably only a few months older than I am, so I'll give you a few tips that have helped me:

1.) Find something that you enjoy doing, every single day. Whether that be listening to music, playing an instrument, exercising, playing a sport, etc. just find something that you enjoy doing and do it every day. It'll give you something to look forward to and will help distract you from anything negative.

2.) Life is not always happy and easy. It's normal to have periods where you're angry or depressed, so just acknowledge that fact and don't try to force yourself to always be in a good mood. That said, try to acknowledge this and cope with it in positive ways, not destructive ways like breaking an Xbox controller.

3.) Take at least 5 minutes a day to literally do nothing but relax and be as calm as possible. This can be in the shower, during a meal, before you go to bed, whenever. Just reflect on your day and your life and try to relax.

Other than that, go enjoy life. Not to be so stereotypical, but you only live once. The only person that you have to be happy with every single day is yourself, so do things that make you happy and confident in yourself. Playing video games in moderation is fine, as long as you don't feel that it has an extremely negative impact on your life. I've struggled with depression throughout my life for various reasons, and the best advice I can have is that the easiest way to deal with it is to try to find time for the things you enjoy. Anyway, just try to fill your time with things you enjoy and positive energy. It may not work right away, but over time you'll find your life more meaningful and happier.

im in highschool now, i started in august and im already feeling like i got nothing to do


If that means that school is easy for you, that is not normal. Your teachers are probably not equiped to deal with a gifted kid, you have to make sure you are heard, tell them if stuff is to easy, and tell them again and again. Then you get to the road of faster education, college, scholarship... you will be a wizz kid, doing science and stuff.

Or figure out that school is not there to stimulate your brain in any other way than figuring out social stuff, be social, get the chicks, be the most bad ass in class, enjoy life, become normal and happy, find and marry your highschool sweetheart.

Wasting your time playing games, well, you are from norway. Learn how to code and become some super hacker like all the other scandinavian kids that sit bored at home in the dark. Or if you think computers suck then get a flying V and start a black metal band, burn some scientology centers or stuff, rape some people, maybe murder someone, your prisons allow for enough stimulation to master music, make an album become rich and famous.

Or do drugs, life is full of possibilities. Or if where`s waldo was to easy for you, go find jesus.

First month of grade 9 eh? did the majority of your middle school go there?
I guess my grade nine was pretty lame too but i can say just keep moving forward and bettering yourself and there will be ups to go with this down.

I don't know what to say other than you aren't alone. Lots of people feel this way. In high school antics are your best friend.

If you feel like your personality is lacking, try to find some characters from shows, movies and real life that are vastly different from each other. Then see which ones feel like you could be living their life. Gotta be real about it, though. If you aren't Jason Bourne, you aren't Jason Bourne. Don't emulate anyone unless you feel like it's a personality that already exists within you.

Don't believe the hype about your future, i.e. go to school, get a girlfriend, get a job, get a dog, get married, buy a house, have kids, go to work, go to work, go to work, travel, retire, watch baseball, die. That's a bunch of bullshit. Figure out what steps you'd like to see in YOUR life and take those. Not everyone gets married. Not everyone buys a house. Not everyone has a job. Not everyone has a boss. Not everyone lives indoors.

Just think about what you might like doing and fuck what people say you should be doing. Your experience is all that matters. But I will say respect your parents' wishes no matter how crazy they are until you're ready to support yourself. Your family is family for life and they will always be there for you so don't burn those bridges, but do cut the rope when you're ready.

The typical path can be a good one, but don't let the idea of a boring predictable life prevent you from creating your own.

Find a hobby.

If you think life sucks now kid you're in for a big surprise depending on your attitude.

You decide your attitude btw, so if you think life sucks maybe you suck? I'm not insulting you, I'm just being completely honest. When ever I felt depressed at your age I realized it was because of me sucking, not my situation, not somebodys fault, just me.

Pick up an activity, you're a fucking kid go out and explore shit that you'd like to do. Screw your xbox every single kid your age plays that shit why don't you be cooler than them? Be the only kid in your school that can do jiu jitsu and muay thai and also helps others out or something, i dunno man do shit. sitting there whining does absolutely nothing for you or anyone else.

Join the extra curricular clubs in your school, make a new set of friends. if you are an emo-music person you need to wake up a bit cos noone cares really and people just wont want to be around you. theres nothing wrong with listening to it of course its just these bands making money off their theme and their product is designed to make you want you to be like that . . . . while they in their non observed time are probably having a laugh in places you wouldnt expect them to be doing the oposite of the things they say in mags interviews and music...its all a stage show man and you will see this when you get older. research marilyn manson . .before he became marilyn manson . . ye . . . its a ll a game and the manson character made him rich and famous. Smashing controllers tho needs to be looked at. Why? the game did nothing to you, it was your choice to turn it on and you bought the game youve just got mad at . .or someone did at your request. Life isnt bad at all. you need to read just a boy by richard mcann or something and put your own life into perspective. you can be and do anything, but its not going to be given to you. Nothing worth having comes cheap or without hard work and you need to get ur mind in a state to accept that and make everything you do count.

edit - oh ye the tired of getting up early, you my son are going to bed too late! I do a sprint triathlon 5 days a week! 30 lengths in the pool, 15 k bike and a 5 k run, its takes about 2 hrs. i do this at 6:30 EVERY morning before i get into work and then work for 6-8 hrs, go home but make sure i get 8 at least hrs sleep. tonight is a major exception to this rule as im finishing work for tomorrow so i will tone the gym down . . but ill still go! I can tell you for fact i cannot do my monday to friday work and gym without a breakfast, 5 smaller meals up to bed and then the 8 hrs sleep, i get up at 5am every single day and i dont feel tired. . . well mostly! Please, there are plenty of hours in the day to do anything you want trust me and i still manage to take my 2 little girls out every night to play on the swings

It's not easy to find a path when you have no experience in life and you see possibilities and careers only on paper, if you think life is bad studying and living with your parents then think again, it gets much worse to a level you can't imagine and will be just you dealing with it.

On a brighter note..try an meet people to know what actually different jobs feel like and maybe get inspired.

life is so great .. that i dont even wanna die even though that is a inevitable .. there is a lot you can do mate


and it seems you havent tried extra curricular stuff .. playing games are great but that doesnt cut it .. you need a hobby

whether it be play in a band (be the vocalist/drummer/guitarist) hell there is a lot to be done ... join flash mob dance .. practice martial arts .. learn programming(you might even earn alot with it) .. you could go to bars/clubs every damn night .. learn quantum physics (you could even use your your entire life learning that) .. hell you could even find other games in other console

just .. just find a hobby .. i also know how you feel .. i felt that a lot of times where i dont know the purpose of my life (inshort i was bored) yet there is a lot still have to try you havent done .. dont get stuck in just playing xbox

seriously life is great .. i even wish for immortality but sadly i cant have that .. just have guts .. do alot of stuff you havent done or normally people are scared to do .. enjoy !

Find something to do and do it. You have to live if you want to feel happy, set goals for yourself these goals will help you find motivation and they will help you find something to accomplish and what your purpose in life is.

It gets better once you get to college.

If games aren't fun for you then I find that's caused by some other problem. Perhaps you have some bad relations with your parents. If that's the case, when you're 18, and leave home, you get to do whatever the hell it is you want.

Life doesn't suck. Human bodies are structured in a way that they want to continue living and procreate. Where does sucking factor into life? Life seems fairly neutral compared to the alternative of not being alive.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

If your username is indicative of your birthday, I would have to say that feeling this way is by no means historically unparalleled behavior for people in your equivalent cohort. Try to make it better, make yourself better, and just hack it. You'll feel better in a bit [probably], all about those ups and downs.

Yeah this is pretty on the ball. Although I never went through a emo/depressed phase, there are times where life sucks then the next day life can rock.

If you don't enjoy playing games go do something else you think you might enjoy. Nobody is forcing you to only play games!
When I think of something else, something will go here

Emptiness in various shapes and forms,
perhaps emptiness will fill up,
if you just fill it with emotional stuff,
and catalog it with great fluff.

Its not always happy to find your place in life,
but after you do you live with purpose and might
its not easy or hard, just let it embrace you like hearing a bird,
singing freely in the spring mourning...

What i' m trying to say is you should look for your calling and.or spot in life. It may take a lot of time, but your life will be very rewarding and graceful afterwerd. You will still have problems, you' ll always have problems, but the way you face them will change. And i quote:

I don' t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.

Get addicted to a MMO like WoW or FF14, the frustration is never suicidal, it just slowly simmers and resides in every waking thought, but never enough to make you snap since that would mean you'd cancel your subscription.

clearly depressed. Force yourself to workout. At the least take long walks and listen to classical music or something that invokes thought. Possibly seek therapy or psychological assessment.

Try fapping, fapping is a good start.

Stop bitching and start doing something. Find stuff to do.

Try to explore and be open to try out new things. Maybe gaming is just not for you. Get to know yourself and find out, you still have a long way to go and life does not stop here. You will be surprised there are more things to hate in this world and it does not stop in highschool.

Your lucky you are not born to starve like some kids in Africa.

Girls.

Also lol @ the excuse to take a day off school. Typical teenager. Dont worry bout anything.

Although It honestly sounded half like you got owned in a game of CoD on your xbox, smashed ur controller, ur mum heard and bitchslapped you for it so you got all angsty and came on TL to post after an hour or two because now ur upset and have nothing to do after smashing ur controller Pure speculation, ofc.

Having nothing to do should always be the least of your problems, because you only have 80-110 years of life to do stuff at a maximum which is not even close to enough, so you should have no problem at all filling your time. If you don't like to game, do something else. Find hobbies, find shit to get good at, then realize that no matter how much time you sink into it, you won't have enough.

The reason you don't feel suicidal is because you are still only in high school.

After you've had these feelings for a decade straight, you'll start looking for an exit door.

Unless it's just a phase or something. I'm sure you'll be like most people and find your calling in life.

Hey man, I can totally relate to how you feel. I am 20 and much of my teen years (and even still to an extent) were spent being completely sick and tired of everything and just stuck in purposeless sadness. What you need to understand is that it's not an all or nothing situation. Your life isn't going to just continually suck until you discover something that makes it all better. It requires a certain amount of discipline to start putting effort into improving your life and mindset in even the smallest ways. That's easier said than done and often it feels like you are taking 1 step forward and 5 steps back. Two big things that helped change my perspective were starting to incorporate exercise into my routine and trying to pull myself away from the screen a bit (for me it's computer maybe for you it's xbox/TV). If you try to do both of those things you may get into a sort of upward spiral and starting filling your time with things that actively make you feel better.

Another huge thing is that you shouldn't be too hard on yourself. This is what I personally have struggled with the most. It's easy to just tell yourself that you are depressed or a piece of shit or whatever and reinforce the idea that you cannot ever get out of the mental/emotional state that you are currently in. DO NOT LET THE PAST DICTATE THE FUTURE. Allow yourself to be even better than you think you are; don't let a low self esteem prevent you from ever getting out from under it.

Some of this stuff probably sounds cheesy but it's real stuff I've found with battling depression and I could still stand to listen to some of it myself. Feel free to PM me if you ever need to just vent or want some advice. I've been there man, keep your head up.
For the love of the game

oh boy. I expected more than a broken xbox controller and some teenage depression.

Dear OP,
Find a way to express your sadness and your anger. Yes, life sucks. You've just realized the most important aspect of life. The positive thing is: You don't suck. So do something. Learn an instrument, find a girl, do sports, read books, whatever makes you feel less terrible. There is no thing as "the meaning of life". Basically it's all about getting along with yourself, because you're the person you'll be having to deal with your entire life.
first we make expand, then we defense it.
