Hey man, I understand more then you could think...
During my sophomore year in Highschool me and my friends attended a newly built high school. Anyways, I didn't hav any classes with them or even lunch. I would only see them occasionally in the halls. Then my twin brother wanted to transfer back to our old school so I went along. Now to make things worse I wasn't even attending the same school as my friends. It totally sucked; I felt so alone. ALthough me and my friends are still close I had to make more friends. Actually come to think, I believe most school have seperate lunches... at least all the middle and high schools around here do. Anyways, sometimes we need to learn to continue to take things as they come and move forward. Life is full of change.
Depression is nothing new; many of us face it everyday. I've faced it all my life and learned the best way to deal with things is not to focus on all the bad but what good you have. It's so easy to become more depressed by saying, "man this sucks, nothing ever goes my way. WHy does my life suck?" THough, that never helps. It's much easier to decide to keep pushing; continue to smile. The way we think really does play a major part on how we feel. If you think positive, you feel better; if you think negatively, depression sets in.
And this kid you speak of seems to be wrapped up in his whole little world. Let him say what he will, you shouldn't let a kid dictate your feelings or actions. Deep down he's the one searching for something to fill the void in his heart.People tend to do things like that when they are lacking something in their life: security, God, love or whatever it may be. LIfe is bound to get you down at times, but always remember you don't have to stay down. Also remember you have people who care for you; your family, friends and the members here at CAA. I will keep you in my prayers.
