Default Wasted is not the answer..

I feel for you.. My 20 year old daughter is off in Germany finding her way so I understand.

First, pls. ignore the advice about getting wasted. That is never a long-term answer.. and all you'll do is create more trouble for yourself and get even more depressed. Geez.

I'm just going to put a few things out there that helped my daughter when she was confused and unhappy.

Counseling - google counseling for your area and see if there is a place you can go to begin processing the tremendous upheaval in your life.. your parents' divorce to name one.

Volunteer - help out needy kids, the homeless, go anywhere you might have a 'heart' for giving. You'll feel good.. and make new friends.

Church - even if you're not into it, you'd be amazed at the awesome youth groups that the churches have going today. Pick a progressive church with a big youth ministry and you'll find lots of support.

Good luck sweetie..
