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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Just in the meantime...do stuff you like, try different things...try some sports you have always wanted to try...or whatever. But dont give up on it all...highschool sucks, i have been there...most highschool kids suck, but once out of highschool life will be awesome..its just one of those pains you must endure for the greater good. | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
