i disagree, i think its widely known, just never talked about or dealt with

yes yes, i meant widely known amongst high schoolers themselves.

still disagree?

Well the thing is, in high school, the immaturity is just astonishing. Even when i was in high school i thought it was redicilous.
Depression is everywhere and effects a LOT of teenagers, and hell, even adults. Depression is being fed so easily in our culture.

When someone is physically hurt; what do we do? They get tons of respect and everyone helps them.
When you are emotionally hurt; what do we do? We deal out linar dualities and assume things about the person that arent really true. Most people automatically assume that when you want to confide in them, the you're being a "crybaby" which i dont even know wtf that is. Maybe a person who is always craving attention just for the sake of that?

The ultmate understanding is that everyone behaves the way they do because of things around them. Their experience determines their reality. There seems to be a big social ignorance regarding emotions; especially when it comes to guys. There is no human on this earth who does anything without a reason. More recently ive been reading deeply into psychology, and understanding that most of the time, we need to satisfy our emotions. When someone is labeled as a crybaby, they are put into that category and treated that way. It happened to me, and its terriable. I'm not just "being a pussy" or anything like that.

Thats the real problem. No one ever gets the help they really need in this world. We're all too busy with materialisitic things; like having a bigger cock, a more expensive car, a stronger emotional barrier. Not a single person can for one second pretend that they do not feel emotions. I often think of the jock stereotype. Kinda an asshole to everyone, exteremely arrogant, does things to boost this intellectual materialism, pretends not to have "pussy" emotions. The only things they are allowed to feel is mad at someone for being better than they are.

its fuckin stupid. No one gives a shit about anyone else, and its fuckin sad. No one gets along cuz they think everyone is out to get them. We will NEVER resolve these depression problems until we actually start caring for and helping one another.

All of this stuff i just said goes on outside of highschool, but to the high schoolers it is WAY worse.

Sry if i ranted, i feel like no one ever talks about it and it needs to be said.

No one can tell you what is right for you but drugs create more problems than they solve. Find happiness in something that you enjoy. I love to paint and read and I am a huge fan of gaming. Find something that fills your heart. It's out there for you and take it from someone who knows, life goes by in a blink and then you are gone. So just live and love and look at the good in all you do. :) Hope that helps you.

Marijuana is actually prescribed to treat clinical depression, but since the OP's already getting help from his family and friends, it seems like things are starting to look up

Yeah

I think george carlin says it best that drugs are a great tool to facilitate a reaction. Obviously that is how they work, but the things we consume in all mediums will effect our lives.
Just because some are damaging to our health does not mean they dont hold useful value. If at the end the person ends up happier and better off because of the drug, then by all means. Just gotta be sure that you are enjoying yourself and not destroying your life over it. Thats when its a problem. I dont believe drugs will always lead to a destructive life

If I could get $7 for every dragonfly, I would be set!

Opening up to those around you, who you trusted enough to care, is a giant step. To do that with everyone on that list, was a major risk on your part! The response that most must have been helpful and showed they care for you is pure joy! My deepest concern, was that you may not be able, to reach out to find, the one person who could relate to you IRL. It seems deep down, you knew deep in yourself many and took the step yourself to talk to them and found the person you needed, was actually many people, that you already knew.

May you continue to always know the ones who love you.

Weed changes people. You sound like you just want to be high all the time and are miserable without it, same thing happens when alcoholics don't get their drink. Sounds like you should stop being a stoner and do something productive with your spare time

My advice is to get laid and say OH YEAH! like the cool aid man
