I’m so depressed with my life,. Suicidal thoughts come to my mind each day, instantly after I wake up. I’m unbelievably lonely and school makes it even worse…I can’t deal with anything anymore. I’m thinking of dropping out of school, it’s a waste of my time and I feel that my mind can’t function properly for school. I’m way too depressed to go that I can never be motivated to work.

What would you like to see change in your life? What do you think would take away your depression?
I dropped out of school years ago and haven’t been studying since then. I’m self-taught at everything – from English to audio engineering. I don’t feel like I need an education. You probably shouldn’t be listening to me because I haven’t got my shit together yet, lol. But I can surely say that school is a horrible place for people like us. I wish you luck with your online education thing; stay strong.
I think what would be make me feel happier is to drop out of school for once and for all. I’ve made a decision that I want to and continue my education online. Now the problem is how I’m going to face my parents with all of this…I mean how do you really tell your parents I’m not going to attend school anymore? It’s so damn hard…my parents are what’s holding me back. Besides them neglecting me, I feel this is the right decision for me. I’ve always had depression and going to school makes my life unbearable in so many levels.
Yes, you will be happier not going to school. Yes, your parents will struggle accepting/considering you dropping out. (It’s still considered dropping out even though you finish it online.) Dropping out of schooleased some stress, but my home life still was the same only I was there 24/7. Make sure if you follow through with this you find extra curricular activities. Try and not become a hermit. It makes getting/keeping a job harder because you’re not socialized.
at what grade did you drop out? I’m currently in 11th grade.
Don’t drop out it makes it way worse trust me. I did and now I’m even more depressed I thought it would help but it didn’t. Stay in school cause when you graduate you’ll feel like you accomplished something. I thought school was the cause of my depression but it wasn’t. Actually it helped some which now I see but it’s too late for me.
^ i almost posted something similar to this earlier, but deleted it before submitting. I didn’t appreciate the subtle value of social interaction with people near my age, until i had finally removed myself from the opportunity to do so.
But on the other hand, there was certainly some sense of relief regarding the requirements of attending classes and maintaining grades and superficial acquaintances. The high school mentality sucks ass, but what’s worse is being totally isolated and depressed, while being virtually trapped inside a toxic home environment, without access to the tools and resources needed to make your home time actually useful.
If you drop school, get your GED (or finish online, whatever, however it works these days) immediately, and get away from your toxic home environment. Get a job you can you can maintain, with which you can sustain yourself, and be relentless, organized, and frugal… and don’t let idealistic people fool you into thinking money isn’t important, because it is. You’re going to need heaps of it to have any kind of life, and so you probably need to figure out a way to go to college to become qualified for a decent career. Once you get that far, you’ll need to figure out how to start and run your own successful business. If you get /that/ far… you should be fine, because you’ll be able to afford to take good care of yourself and access worthwhile experiences.
