I feel really depressed? Details inside?!
Question: I feel really depressed.? Details inside.?
I'm so annoyed with myself and I don't know why. I have so much on my plate right now, and I feel like I'm not trying hard enough with anything. Between my friends, my school work, up-coming volleyball, and trying to lose weight, I feel like I'm a disaster-stressed to the max.
How can I calm myself down.? I'm sick and tired of being 12, I wish I was older.
And to top it off, I'm breaking out [acne] because of all my stress.
I feel like I have zero self-esteem, even though my mom constantly tells me I'm pretty. I don't believe her. I wish life was a remote, and you could just push pause whenever you want, and power when you want to keep going.Health Question & Answer

Hi there..my name is Mike and I'm a social worker..thanks for letting me try to help with your issues..young people today have a lot on their plate to deal with..we are living in a time that is very confusing and stressful for everyone..and to be 12 in this world is a very frightful and anxiety filled time..12 year old girls and boys are going through hormonal changes that are very hard to understand..especially when you're not even aware of what those changes are doing..you're right on that border of childhood and adolescence where privileges and responsibilities start coming into question..then there's the pressure of your peers and parents..and you're also being bombarded by different sets of rules and laws that many don't even pay attention to but expect YOU to pay attention to them..12 is a difficult age to have to be worrying about puberty, hormones, rules, childhood, adolescence, parents, friends, and all in a society that couldn't set up a decent set of basic rules to save itself..I truly wish I had a simple answer for you but the fact is there isn't one..one of the main reasons our young people are so confused is that mankind and society doesn't follow a good, basic, set of morally righteous principals and guidelines combined with a strong set of spiritual values based on wisdom, justice and LOVE for one another..mankind is in this position because he has demanded the right to live outside of God's commandments..ahhh, I know what you might be thinking..God.?..who wants to hear about God.?..well, ask yourself this.."Has this world and it's 'values' done anything to make me feel better about myself or my future.?"..I have two excellent publications that I strongly feel would help you with your problems..your issues are REAL and guess what.?..I CARE!..yes, I know you don't even know who I am or where I live or you may wonder why I care at all when I don't even know you.?..I have been where you have been..not as a girl, but as a mixed-up, confused, depressed, sad, lonely, young man who felt ugly inside and outside no matter who told me different..believe you me, there is NOTHING you can say that would shock me or startle me or scare me..if you would like to know what these publications I'm talking about are..then e-mail me at the address I'm going to send you through your "answers profile page" and I can arrange for you to get them..free of charge..no obligation..and they are full of ideas and answers to all your questions..you don't have to give me your address or personal information..I can explain to you how easy it will be for you to get these books..give it a try..write me at the address I send you and I'll give you the information or if you do wish, i can arrange to have them brought right to your house by some very loving and trusting and caring people..in the meantime, you're in my thoughts and prayers and God DOES love you and I DO care about what you're going through..and if you wish, you can simply write me to talk about what's bothering you and I can e-mail you some great information that will help you in dealing with your situation..God Bless you and thanks for letting me write to you..Mike from CanadaHealth Question & Answer
first of all ur 12 and ur an idiot for letting crap get to u like that, girls are never satisfied with their looks, but if u want to know if u really are pretty ask guys "THAT ARE UR AGE" that u dont know if u are pretty, if they say yes then u are because they have no connection to u and dont have to lie for fear of losing freindship, but 12 year old boys are like inbreads so try to make sure they are telling the truth.Health Question & Answer
Lol, don't wish you were older,the time will pass before you know it( I know, I don't know where the years have gone). Don't be so hard on yourself weight wise, it sounds like you exercise. Look online for nutrition ideas for someone your age. Maybe you should get a pet, it might make you feel better.Health Question & Answer

hey dude take a long walk... that's all you need and a confidant...Health Question & Answer
I agree with you about the remote thing =) And I have seen pictures of you, and you are beautiful! Don't even think that you aren't! Don't be too hard on yourself about things. Don't try to loose weight.. eat healthy and exercise and it will happen.. if you stress over it then you won't loose weight. Try your best on your school work, and thats will be good enough. You need to relax and stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Listen to some music and read a book.. take a break from everything and unwind! The time will go by quickly.. trust me! I hated my life when I was 12.. but it was actually pretty sucky.. thats the year my dad died and I was really depressed. And once again: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! Remember what I told u in that first answer about school.? go back and reread it =)
Good Luck sweetie!
