Mason R	basically your coming to a sad realization that life is temporary and nothing is permanent. But you are forgetting about the first point in life, go down in history, be it by starting a family, becoming memorable by doing something greatly important, or just doing your part for the next generation. If you give up now... you will fail. so dont give up hope, and keep on trying, never divert your eyes from your goals, no matter how small they may be Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Angela	(((((hugs))))) You should realize that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. You should try to find a good Bible belieiving church and get into God's Word. It is full of encouragement and it is full of TRUTH! It is definitely a confidence builder when you see who you are in Christ....after you give your life to Him! Take care and smile! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

michelle n	if i had a nickel for every time i felt alone or sad etc.. in my teenage years i'd be very rich. just realize that this too shall pass and you will vaguelly recall your "misery" or adolesence...there is soooo much more to come, be patient! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kill the silence	i dont wanna sound like a preacher or whatever, but i DONT like church and my family is all about it and they are always telling me to listen to their kind of church music and it actually makes me feel better even though i dont like smooth music...im more of a punk kinda guy and it does make me feel better for a couple of days... but its not like the boring BORING kind...its in spanish though and kinda sounds like cumbias... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Phil	GO TEEN SPIRIT! WOO! dont worry honey im 16 and i live a happy life i sometimes feel the way you do, but you'll be okay in a short time, unless something really sucky happens or maybe youve listened to too much hawthorne Heights Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

RetroGirl	i seriously had that same feeling. i was going through a rough time and always felt horrible.... i just talked to my bff about it and she seemed to know exactly what to say....everyone will tell you talk to your parents, or go to a doctor. but really if you have super good friend just talk to them about it. they always seem how to make things right. i dont think a stranger from the internet will really be able to tell you exactly what to do. you need to go to someone you trust and love. good luck! feel better! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cognizant One	You should see a therapist. I wish I had when I was that age. It's the most confusing and difficult time in your life I think. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shadoyaj	i felt that when i was 15 and i overcame it by socializing. you just have to tell urself to get out there and do something. So the remedy would be...go find a job. It helps a lot. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mexme	It's normal to feel like this for a while. I mean, your going through a big transition right now...from girl to woman. You've got hormones going crazy, pressure from friends, pressure from parent, pressure from yourself. I can tell from the way you constructed your question that you are intelligent and mature. Maybe more so than those around you so you feel like fish out of water. I am a little worried that you say you are always tired. That might be a sign of depression. If this does not get better soon you might need to talk to a doctor. You are at a risky age for drug use now. Please don't get caught up in trying to "escape" with drugs and alcohol. Any problems or hopeless you feel now will be waiting for you 10-fold once you come down from your high. I have times of depression. Sometime you just cannot control how you feel. But you can ALWAYS control how you act. This might sound crazy but when I really feel low, I force myself to skip. I mean actually skip around the house! It is impossible for me to feel bad when I skip! Before I know it, the mood has passed. I know that when I feel bad, if I just gave into it and layed in front of the TV I would be there 2 hours later and just feel even more depressed. It might help if you set some goals for yourself...something to set your sites on and bring purpose to your life. Here is a wild idea... What would you think about spending a year abroad as a foreign exchange student? That would give you something to look forward to and offer some hope of a little escape and the experience of a new world. I wish I had done something like that when I was in high school. And it would look good on your resume!! I wish you luck. PS don't be afraid to talk to your parents about all these emotions! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

26mercedes	im 13 right now, having a similar problem, its because theres nothing new anymore, 15 is actually the laziest age, and our schools make us work a lot harder at the wrong time. you have to find something new such as going to a new entertainment park or driving a car (thats a few months away for you), i was kinda drained for a few weeks but all you have to do is find another great memory, which may take a while sometimes. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

raysmithson1	go out and shop get around people, it takes a lot of energy to feel this way be happy Ray in Monterey Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Karen	Being a teenager is really tough, but being a depressed teenager is even worse. You need to see a proffessional and sort things out while your still young. Remember at your age the brain is still forming, you are still growing and there is a lot more in life to learn. You will do a lot of maturing in the coming years and you will start to firgure things out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pomfritz	take a moral inventory of both what is good and bad in your life. it can be surprising to realize how many things are right ... we just don't always see them. ask parents about counseling for you. it's not just for crazy people. i believe everyone can use it from time to time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kiana	It's true that we're born, we live, and we die, but the key word there is LIVE. You have to find what awakens the feelings of passion and fire within you. Then DO it. Pursue it, because if you follow what you love, not knowing how you're going to do it but being unwaveringly sure that you're going to succeed, then you WILL. Do some soul-searching. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

russelldude_2004	Well, I felt the same way back then too. but I realized there was more to what I was telling everyone. Not that you are leaving anything out. Life isn't short. Go on and live life looking forward to what you are going to do tomorrow. and not what you are going to do that day. Because that is what you should be concerned about. If you feel like your wasting the day then be prepared for it one day in advanced. (But don't spend ALL day thinking about what you are going to do tomorrow) The point to life is to set a good example for the people that are coming after you. You are born, you live a great life, you die feeling satisfied. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Siesie	Woah. Creepy moment there. I felt the same exact way just a few weeks ago! Okay, for 3 months I kept on acting sad, thinking about life and how we die and everything that you said. Then I went out and had fun for one night with all of my friends. We had a great time, and I laughed in what felt like years. Now, I feel much better, and I'm getting back into my regular schedule. I'm not usually such a depressing person, but I think it's just a stage in life that everyone goes through. I went through it, you're going through it right now... Please, don't think about suiside or anything. Go out and have a great time with family or friends. Listen to some new songs. Do something crazy, like get your hair cut (I did right after I felt better) or eat a whole cake. Do whatever you feel like, and enjoy it. Yes, life's short. Yes, we don't have time to do everything we want to. And yes, we are going to die someday. But think of living in the now. You're young, I'm young, we still have so much left to live for. I hope this make you feel better. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Narcissa K	You just need to find a reason to live. I felt like you but after these I AM SO MUCH BETTER 1. Good music- i recommend Gym Class Heroes, Amy Winehouse, and Michael Buble 2. Good Reading: I recommend- Francesca Lia Block, and fun novels like Gossip Girl 3. Poetry: I recommend Andrea Gibson, Shihan and Shel Silverstein (search the on youtube) 4. Good Friends- Email me, and put yourself out there you can meet great people You need a more full, fun life, yes we all die eventually- but don't we want our lives to mean something? If not for us, but for those who couldn't? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jamie kat	There is definitely a point to your life hun! You and only you can do whatever it is that you were put on this Earth for. The problem is, being a teen is tricky bc your brain is not fully develped and you are getting more and more hormones and chemicals. Teens also suffer more from lack of serotonin, the chemical that helps you feel good and happy. I went through this at ur age too, it sucked soooo bad! My mom sent me to a therapist and I hated it. I'm 30 now and can say that there is a reason to live. I went through a divorce and battled feeling that way again but this time I stood up to it and went out and found people who were less fortunate and helped them. I sponsored an orphanage in Thailand and just knowing that little old me is making just a teeny difference helped me feel better. Try writing, a new sport, cooking new foods, volunteering, and reading. I just read "The Alchemist" and its a short fiction book that deals with finding ones Personal Legend. It's a good read, pick it up sometime. Just hang in there and you'll get through this. Try to keep your eyes fixed on a goal and remember that one day you just might have kids to and they might face the same issues. Thats why we go through things like this, so we are better able to help others make it through too. Take care!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Joe	It's normal, going through an identity crisis. Just use your output for stress, whatever it might be. You're going to feel really crappy for the next couple days, then you are going to appreciate little things in life. Then, it's going to go away like a bad dream. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

DORY	First of all honey, Happiness is a Decision! Not a Symptom of a Disease! Each Day you wake, You have a CHOICE! Love it or HATE it! It is all up to YOU! You will decide your day!

moviegoer	"What's the point ?" ---- exactly the same line of question asked in the first episode of Boston Legal, Season 1...maybe you should check it out....same in the movie "Rebel Without a Cause" ---- James Dean was self-destructing , dead drunk...the old man allowed him to sleep and said to the people around looking concerned...."There's nothing wrong with, his problem is he's way too young to understand" ....at 15, if you have an idea of what's going on, then tht I guess is the right time for you to ask that question Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Matthew T	The truth is that God is necessary for life to have a point or purpose. Here is what one brilliant atheist had to say: “Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell That is a fact that won't ever completely go away. We can busy our lives with careers, marriage, kids, hobbies and sports but they are all to keep us from thinking about a meaningless existence. Happiness is the same as not thinking about death and a pointless life. We long for joy but without God, we have to settle for busyness. But the Christian idea is that God created us to be His sons and daughters and for us to seek Him and find Him. To seek God is the greatest adventure of all time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Azn Invasion	You're either going EMO, Pregnant, or a normal teen. Most teens feel like you so don't feel bad.

Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Guinness	you need to talk to your parents about this one. this isn't a yahoo. answers question Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Becky V	Think of it this way - you were born to live and die, BUT in the mean time you have been given a challenge and opportunity. You are suppose to see how much you can do with the time you have. How much can you infulenance others and how much can you make out of this "travel". Go for it, when you feel tired and down, think to yourself what should or COULD you be doing, pick up the phone, call a friend, where should you volunteer? There is stuff out there with your name on it....go find it... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mike	get a hobby Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

§§pecial Unicorn	It's because you are either at the end of middle school or your first year at high school. (freshman year, we were on high school campus) Because the sociology and dynamics there are already developed, you might feel a little like an outsider and just going through the motions. Try to get involved just a little more, get more comfortable. Stay tight with your known friends and treat it as more of an adventure. I can't promise you will feel better immediately, but you will soon. Any drastic change from routine can cause you to shut down a bit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jj	have fun, make friends, find a hobby and interests. All these things can help make ur life meaningful. interests will then lead to a job and jobs lead to money. if you make friends and find things that you are interested in, then your life will seem more fun and worth living. you will start to appreciate it more.

Serious Shuck	what moves you? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Marc	Read the Bible just live your life Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

OhWell	I totally know how your feeling, I have been there many times. I think this is more a spiritual issue than a physical one. Your soul is lacking God. You need to have faith, because life is hopeless with a belief. Science has yet to prove that a person doesn't have a soul. Jesus Christ is truth, and I would suggest you read the bible and find that truth, I have and I'm much happier, and I have a reason for life and eternity. A far cry from where I was at when I was suicidal all through my teen years. God gave me another chance at life, and now i see why. I can't explain it, its a miracle! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
