Q: My bestfriend is depressed...

My bestfriend is severly depressed. She was before she moved away, and it's even worse now. We're both going into our 12th year of school, and she now lives 2h away.

1. She hates her school--she was taken in by a group of nerds, and she hates them all [She's a hating person, I know.]. Because most of the school has seen her with them, she can't seem to make other friends.

2. She hates her family--Her mother is one of those put-downers. She's constantly on my friend about her grades [which have been slipping to 70s rather that high 80s because of her depression and lack of caring]. Snide, rude comments to her, our other friend, and myself.

3. She hates her family2--Her sister is a suck up, constantly a golden child. She gets my friend in trouble ALL the time for stupid things (ex. Sister needed a shapener and Friend was using it, so she said no. Sister got Friend grounded for a month for it).

On top of all this, her father does nothing to help, and her parents don't care about anything but how "Stupid" she is. They've even told her to spite her that her sister is gettingher university fund [all because she got high 70s, and decided she wanted to go to College].

I think your friend needs to sort some things out. clearly she is not at all happy. it seems her family just dont understand where she is coming from and they need to. if your friend is depressed she needs help and support and although im sure you are there for her all the time, she needs her family. she should really sit down and talk to them. she doesnt need the stress of her sister acting like a spoilt little brat.. she shouldnt worry about that. it is tough moving to a new school.. but eventually she will be accepted, it just takes time and who cares that she hangs out with the so called nerds.. is the problem really that she hates every single one of them? or that she is embarressed to be seen with them?? she needs to fill her parents in on what is going through her mind.

she was taken in my nerds and she hates them. so the only people that wants to be her friend she hates.

i know how hard it is being young and having parents not understand what your going through. even when her mother says something to upset or put her down it can effect anyone's mood.

so is she a friendly person, or look so anger she's going to ripped someone's head off.
some people are turned off my body language, and facial expressions.
someone told me i dont look approachable, when i was really depressed.
so she may need to look at herself.
