Depressed about missing out on High School?
For the last few months I’ve been horribly depressed almost every day.
My only friend has a MySpace page and I can’t help but look at it and see all his friends, good times and great pictures from in High School. He went to so many parties, had so many friends/girlfriends and seemingly had a great time.
I had NONE of that. I’ve been pretty sheltered for the last few years and have no social life. Now my school years are basically over and I feel like I’m forced to grow up. I’m going to community college then maybe a university but I’m still so depressed it makes me sick. How can I feel better all of this? I can’t really relate to anyone. I wish every day that I had stayed in school

As for high school, I wish I could have skipped it all together. I HATED it. College, on the other hand, was the most amazing experience of my life. You will see and experience things you never thought. When I got to college, I thought I must have lived in a daze all through high school, because suddenly LIFE opened up for me. I know you feel like you’re missing out on a lot, and that could be true, but consider what you’ve got ahead of you: more fun and stimulation than you can imagine.
Furthermore, please seriously consider talking to someone about your feelings. You will benefit from processing what’s swimming in your head.
Best of luck.
The only way to make up for what you have lost is not to look for what you have lost. You need to look for what’s next. I had to worked very hard to get into University and started my life again from that level. You will have to work hard to get into college/university and start your life again from that point (if you can make it there). College is where you get what left of your “innocent time” . And if you make it there, remember that you have to be very nice to people and be very sociable to make the most of chances t o get good friends. You had lost plenty of chances already. By the time you get out of college, it’s tougher to get friends. True friends come and go, enemies stay. That’s the hard-knock school of life. You will soon find that only future success will make up for loss in the past. You cannot search for things in the past.
I know some people get their friends and companionship from religious places. They go to churches or mosques or temples, but this kind of thing is not for every one. If you are not in it now, the chance is that you won’t want to be in it. Therefore you just have to be positive, do a make-over of your mental readiness and aim for college life.
Hope you can decide what’s your next move.
