I'm depressed and lifeless, and sad for no reason, how can I cope?
Zack, you seem like a nice kid and you seem to have a good plan for your future. Being 17 is hard, but it's also the most precious. Based on the book that you've written on here, I believe that you're thinking way too much on everything. What you need to do is concentrate on yourself. Do school activities, join a club, volunteer for something that means something to you. Don't worry about what your friends and classmates are doing, just worry about yourself. And this girl from Mexico? honey, she's not the only girl in the world. Some things are meant to happen on its own and love will happen for you when it's meant to. Let nature take its course. Your innocence is something that you should be giving to someone special, not someone who only looks beautiful. And why you do you have to resolve with suicide?? No no no, your life is too precious. You have to know that what you're going through and what you're feeling, it's normal, believe me, your friends and classmates have the same thoughts. All you have to do is take your chances by talk about it. Life is all about risks. Let me tell you something... "What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger." From the things that you've written here, tells me that you're a lot stronger then what you give yourself credit for.

How can I help my friend if she is depressed, sad, and always gets angry due to her dad beating her mom?
The most important thing to do to help someone who is depressed is just to be present and connect with them. Try to be empathic and put yourself on their shoes. I want you to understand that this is not an easy situation and there is not much you can do besides giving emotional support to your friend. You can also incentive your friend to look for psychological support for victims of domestic violence, (yes, because she is also a victim, even if her dad doesn't beat her), and offer to go along with her through this difficult process, from the search of such a service to accompanying her to the first consultation…If you would like a more thorough help, please find us at https://ScaleUpCare.comAlso, don't forget to take care of yourself, by following these 5 pratical evidence-based ways to take care of your psychological heath.

What are the odds of beating depression on your own?
It's different with everyone. I think if you find yourself struggling with it constantly and it's really wearing you down then you should seek help. Keep that option open and don't be afraid to open that door because that's the first step in fighting against depression. Depression is really a 1 on 1 problem. It's you against yourself. Doctors have found that it is treatable, and many treatments work. That just makes it a 2 on 1, or 3 on 1 problem...the battle just got a lot easier. If you want to treat it on your own. You need to get to the source of the depression. Ask yourself why. Why sadness, why guilt, why anger. Start solving those problems individually. We all have them, that's part of being human, it's called being normal. I'd freak out if I didn't have feelings. The solution, is don't indulge in those negative emotions. I don't enjoy the sadness, so when I'm sad I find something to laugh about. Same when I'm pissed, reverse that emotion as soon as you feel it. If you find that you don't have reasons for being sad, guilty, mad, then I would seek professional help. If you find that you can isolate a reason for your emotion, then you can definitely get to the root of the problem and will your way through. Just be honest with yourself, life is way too short to waste it being depressed. Good luck, and be smart!
