Depression

Depression is a horrible thing that can occur due to many reasons:

1: Bipolar Disorder
2: Having no friends
3: Bullies
4: Or every day just seems like a bad day to you

Sometimes you might feel like everyone is against you, sometimes you just want to go away and be alone until you die, and sometimes you really try making friends, but the assholes in your school couldn't care less if you were dead..

The best thing to do if you have a depressed friend, is not avoid them, this will make them even more depressed and lead them to suicide/ homicide. Don't tell them to "cheer up", because that reminds them of how sad they really are, and all that does is make them even more upset. That's like telling a person with Cancer to stop being sick. You should talk to that friend about why he/she's upset. Ask them about how they're feeling, and try to cheer them up, instead of telling them to do it on their own. It's not easy getting out of the deep, dark pits of depression by yourself, the only way to do it is if your friends will help you. You could easily save your friends life, because most depressed people show it clearly that they are depressed. All it takes is 5 simple words to start a conversation that could completely change this person's day from being a terrible day, to a great day: "Why are you so sad?".

About 276,000 Teenagers attempt suicide each year, and 5000 of them succeed!

Girl: What's wrong? Why are you feeling so bad?

Depressed Guy: No girl will ever date me, and everyone hates me. I have no friends, maybe I should just kill myself and get myself out of everyone's way. This depression is going to make me sad for the rest of my life...

Girl: Don't say that! Every girl in the school talks about how sweet and cute you are. If you kill yourself, I would never be happy again!

Depressed Guy: I have no reason to live, every day is the same thing: Get out of bed, go to school, go home feeling like dying. I haven't smiled in a very long time, and all of these people telling me to cheer up isn't making it any better. I don't know why people don't like me, I try my hardest to make friends, and I just go home with the same feeling every time, I always want to cry myself to sleep. The cycle doesn't end, until I finally pull the trigger.

Girl: Please don't kill yourself! You're an amazing person! You're smart, funny, cute, and talented, and if nobody else can see that, then that is their loss. I love you, and I never want to see you sad ever again!

Depressed Guy: Ok, thank you for the inspiration for me to live another day!

Girl: I'll see you at school tomorrow, and you can sit by me at lunch and we'll talk about this, ok?
