Even at school recess, i'm all alone outside. I've been crying alot when I'm in my room. And I stay up all night because I can't turn my mind off. Should I runaway?

First of all u have 2 try 2 find wat exactly wants 2 make u run a way. Did u have an argument with friends or ur parents? After youve found tht out, think abt all the ppl who love and care abt u and how ur absence would affect them. Thts wat i usually do when i feel depressed, and it stops me from running out the door. Hope this helps!!!!!! :)

 Hey, don't worry, you're SO not alone in the whole depression thing: 1 in 10 people have it, i think that i might be depressed myself, but heres a hint on how to feel better: exersize! seriously, it makes me feel so much better, i hate exersize but if i just take my bike out for 1/2 an hour i come home and feel all invigourated and then i dont feel so guilty eating chocolate and stuff :) mail me if you want to talk about it.

reader, anonymous, writes (15 March 2008): No. No. No. Do not runaway. I was a runaway myself not much older than you. It helped nothing. My problems remained. Actually things got much much worse. I have emotional scars to this day (30 years later) from all that happened to me after I ran away. What to do? Talk to someone you trust. Anyone. You need one good friend to listen. Spend time with friends if you can. Read, watch funny movies, exercise a lot, get enough sleep, eat right. I know this sounds like it has nothing to do with your problems but these things will help stabilize you emotionally. Know this 13 is the hardest year for a girl. You are changing. Your hormones will cause emotional issues (like crying). Things will get better. Unfortunately, it takes awhile. Please be patient.

 Not at all. Talk to the guidance counselor at your school.
Start there first, especially if you can't talk to your family. You will have an understanding and professional person to talk to and guide you in the right direction.
Keep in touch!

Everyone i have come across has felt lonely and misunderstood and ill treated at some point of time during their teen years.
Running away is never a solution.As you grow older you will come across worse things but you have to be strong.if you run away now everytime something happens that you cannot deal it you will run away.talk to somebody if not to ur parents then your guidance counselor at school.if you believe in God turn to him and pray for strength.
Life isn't easy! things the you never thought would happen happen to you.sometimes the people you love and whom you always thought would be around for you leave or break your trust.but these things happen and you have to look out for yourself.and the only way to do that is to be strong and fight the unhappiness you feel in you.
Be strong ...take control of your life!! maybe get a makeover ..take up new hobbies that might help you in teh future..decide to be the friendly girl in class.And ..no matter what you do ..donot ever feel rejected or lonely.because you are that only if you think you are.
and Smile! you are 13....you have years of happiness to look forward to.:)

 i went through exactly the same thing when i was your age. you remind me so much of myself back then..and ihad the same feeling of just wanting to run from it all and start over...i know its been said before and its hard to accept but things to get better down the road...they really do. 13 was deffinitely the hardest age for me to live through...theres so much going on and changing.
please message me if you want to talk i hope i can help

 I know the heartache you are going through...when I hear you, I see myself. I'm a lot older and stronger now, but the scars are still there. I'm sorry I am not able to help you unless I know some reasons why you are feeling the way you do, but I know that running away from your problems will not necessarily help you. You may delay it or deny it, but the bottom line is you need to go through them. Please write to me...maybe we can come up with some solutions. In the meantime...please stay home.

I know you know that running away is not the smart thing to do.think of this: how will you get money? where will you stay? at 13 you are too young to get a job.I have been where you are.. talk to your parents. they can take you to a doctor and you can get help. whether its in the form of therapy or medication.please be smart and dont make any stupid decisions!3 shauna
