i cant get things done for school because when school is all you have to do with your life its really depressing. my mom stays at home and does my laundry and cooks for me anytime i want and doesnt require me to do any chores. even if i go to the park to keep from off'ing myself or somewhere its depressing to do these things alone. i go to school and come home i dont have a TV just this old computer so all i can do is homework.

i cant get any hobbies because i dont want to do it alone thats depressing. so there is no reason for me to live and i dont know what to do i think just off myself and be on the news in between football and other BS that seems reasonable at this point.

A lot of it could just be your age. It's the chemicals in your brain. I was chronically depressed when I was 17. I felt just like you described. Finding a counselor would be of great help.

When you are feeling this way, you might ask yourself, "In a couple years, will I care at all about what's going on right now?" Life can and will change in ways you can't even imagine. There will be women to meet, places to see, a career to find. You can custom design this life if you so choose. And you can start any time you want, no matter what has happened.

The only stipulation is that you have to be here. You have to stick around long enough to see it.

Here is a guy who started out a college kid in Canada, moved to LA, started his own company, moved to Hawaii and recently completed a tour of South America. And you can see how he got there. I hope he inspires you.
