It has been months and months in which I have been seriously contemplating whether or not I am depressed. Some days I will smile up at heaven (this not intended to start a religious battle, but for all educational purposes) and thank God for all he has done for me, however other days which seems to be a 70% time thing as opposed to a 30% time of the looking to heaven. I feel extremely stressed due to school, I am 16 years old have been taking classes since freshman year (now a junior) throughout the high school years with not a single summer break. Now I realize that there are people out there that have taken classes for far more years with no breaks, but it just feels overwhelming. I let my parents down, for I don’t try my hardest in class, I never study, still manage to get B’s. Nevertheless, I feel like it is not good enough for my parents, even though they are proud of me for dual enrolling (take classes at a nearby college which gives college credits and high school credits). I am constantly having to do work for my online classes and my typical enrolled classes. I have friends that I talk to most days, but they don’t feel like friends I can tell these type of things. Honestly, the only reason I am doing this right now is because I don’t know what else to do. I think of suicide and how it would just make it all go away, but then I think of how my brother would feel and how the rest of my family would feel. I usually begin to leak a few tears at this thought, though it is a frequent one. I have never done self harm, but have come close. I know it will probably end in the response of “Tell someone you trust” but the thing is… I don’t have someone like that, while me and my brother are close it doesn’t seem like the type of thing I can tell him.

In addition, it is not my parents that trouble me or my family, it is that i feel i am a disappointment which causes self loathing.
I can tell you if you need someone to talk you came to the best place there are many people here you can talk to
Dear addonexus02,
This disappointment that you write of, is it strictly related to school studies and grades?
