Life as a teen is horribly confusing and sad for a lot of people! My suggestion is dont ever let yourself get to a point where you feel like there is nothing you can do to fix it. Only you can control your happiness, do what makes you happy, be independent learn to be happy with yourself and be confident in who you are and one day you will be happy. Adulthood is much more emotionally stable than your teenage years, so it does get better! Keep your head up and Good Luck

 Ok, this may not be exactly what you want to hear. I was a really sad teen as well, would spend a lot of time sleeping (because it was an escape from reality), and would fantasize about how great and perfect my future self would be. But when adulthood arrived, I was like, is this it?? It doesn't always bring happiness. You will still be dealing with problems, just hopefully different ones from what you have now. But if you spend these years working on and developing yourself, and learning from your mistakes, you will at least feel better equipped to deal with the problems. And the problems you have now will seem smaller when you look back on them. Also, remember happiness doesn't depend solely on what happens to you or how others treat you. It also greatly depends on how you choose to react to things. You can't control life but you can learn to control your reactions.
If you could be more specific about why you're sad, it might help us advise you better.

 At this stage of your life, things can be confusing because you don't know what direction you're supposed to take your life. The teenage years are particularly hard and even depressing. your body goes through trauma of changing dramatically, and peers project their own insecurities by acting judgmentally towards others. I saw this on a friends homepage, "don't wait to find yourself, go out there and create yourself". you can determine your fate for who you want to become. If I were you I would focus on developing skills, activities, habits, hobbies that nurture your spiritual, mental health development by doing things that make you happy. IF nothing makes you happy, I suggest trying something new. i hope that helps, feel free to PM me.
