life help: I’m 17 and i live in canada. - Help.com

There are teen help lines that are completely private that you can call. If you know of a thiving Church they have youth pastors that you can talk to as well. Talking to mature proffessional is an excellent idea.

I wrote this post a couple weeks ago… maybe it can help some?

One thing for certain… masking the issue with drink is just that… a mask - it does nothing really but make things worse.

Let me know if you want to talk more.

Hun,
there is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. :) I’m not sure if this will help, but talk to any friends/family that you can trust.
If you’d rather not talk to them, talk to us! I’ve shared some really personal things on this site and everyone here has helped me so much that I could never even begin to thank them enough. :)
Sometimes ..someone listening is all you need.

How are you doing in school my friend? This is a good place for you to get answers:)

call the children’s help phone…its 1 800 668 6868…they are a lot of help especially for the fact that it is anonymous!

you could always talk to a counsellor at school… that way your parents wouldnt know because you can go during school hours and also everything you said is confidential unless you say they can tell.

i know its hard but you need to try and quit the dirnking. its the worst thing for depression. although at the time, it seems like its masking your problems, it just makes them feel all the more worse after youre sober.

depression is a really hard thing to deal with but you can get through it if you just keep hanging on and not look back. it might be hard but its definetely worth it =]

Hey. I have felt the same way more than once in my life. It does get better. You need to try to talk to someone about it. Someone that you can really trust. If you don’t feel that comfortable with anyone then maybe your school guidance councilor. If none of those seem like options to you then thats okay. You do feel comfortable with us to tell us this so maybe you just need to talk on here more. I think even that would help you out alot. Try what you think will help. I really hope that you start to feel better soon! But really talking does help. Alot. Sometimes just seeing that people do care is enough. you think “ugh my life is horrible, nobody cares what happens to me.” but just seeing that people do care what happens to you even people that you don’t really know does make a big difference.
Feel better soon!!!!

While your finding someone to talk to, get out and do some running, or jogging. Make sure you’re eating well too. Here’s a site which might help:
