<p>I can't have fun in my second semester senior year. If do, my GPA will suffer. I should've realized that when I signed up for 4 APs, 3 of which ended up in my 2nd semester. With that being said, second semester sucks compared to first semester. I didn't expect my last out of 8 semesters to be my most academically challenging.</p>
<p>Current GPA: 2.50 :(</p>
<p>"Usually it's a deficiency of amino acids that brings on depression."</p>
<p>Or listening to too much emo music.</p>
<p>... ok this might hurt someone's feelings but it is my honest assessment</p>
<p>if u have to resort to any kind of drug to fight off depression, you're a wimp, should jlust suck it up, because someone else has been MUCH MUCH LOWER than urself for sure</p>
<p>... and you might very well get addicted to it (such as Rush Limbaugh and his addicted to pain-killers... fool) </p>
<p>i think this problem with happy pills nowadays is kinda a reflection of society today... people just want to hide from their problems
heck, if too many ppl use their anti depressants whenever ANYTHING is bad, we'll have a real representation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World on our hands. And i think y'all knew how that turned out</p>
<p>grxkn--aren't AP classes for a full year? Also, I don't mean to be rude, but why take 4 APs when you can't handle it??</p>

<p>Right, try telling someone with a bad case of schizophrenia on anti-psychotics that they should just "suck it up".</p>

<p>irrelevant. This is related to depression, not schizophrenia or psychosis.</p>
<p>I'm just depressed that I've gotten stupider and lazier this year. ;( </p>
<p>I need to shape up for college!</p>
<p>lol...yeah i listen to too much emo music.</p>
<p>Adagio for strings
Clocks
Can you feel the love tonight...lol</p>
<p>ilovetocamp is right. Unless you are depressed to the point of seriously committing suicide (and I certainly don't think that describes any of the seniors here), taking "happy pills" is a pretty poor idea for a quick fix. I suppose it's kind of normal to be unhappy at this point of our lives, since we will leave everything close to us and have to be weaned of our supports. Or, maybe we feel that we missed out on a lot of opportunities and could've done so much more. Either way, none of these reasons are serious enough to merit happy pills.</p>
<p>mwe05:
My school is on a block schedule. I didn't think I could possibly get 3/4 of my APs in 1 semester, but with my luck, I did.</p>
<p>No, it's not irrelevant. Even though 99% of highschoolers who say they have "depression" just listen to Dashboard and slick down their hair, there are people who actually have depression, just like there are people with other mental disorders.</p>
<p>irrelevant. that 1 % is most likely not the ppl posting in this topic.</p>
<p>Same.............im jux depressed.......march is approaching.......then ap exams, then finals, then graduation....... sigh.......I don't feel like graduating either....High school is everything, it's like the real world, u c things that might not exist in college. (deans picking up the bad guys, fights, fire drill, funny teachers, hang out in the hall. the list just goes on.)</p>
<p>what the heck... u exist in teh "world of happiness" and yet u are depressed</p>
<p>and what exactly do you mean by deans picking up the bad guys?</p>
<p>Somethin to think about:</p>
<p>Since food has started being pumped with steriods, there has been an increase in agnst, depression and depression related stuff in teens. There was no breakfast club and emo way back in the day.</p>
<p>From Family Guy</p>
<p>Holy Crap! It's the Breakfast Club!</p>
<p>Tony the Tiger: Y'know what I got for this Christmas? It was a banner year at the cereal house. I got a carton of cigerettes. Old man grabbed me and said "Smoke Up Tony, they're grrrreat!".
Bastard.</p>
<p>Anyone seen Garden State? I'm kind of where Zach Braff character was. In a kind of comatose state, not really understanding where the hell I am in life. I'm at the edge of something, I've worked so hard and done so much, but where am I being led. I have no idea.</p>
<p>fortune-I watched Garden State three times last weekend. I want Natalie Portman really really badly.</p>

<blockquote> <blockquote> <p>You wanna bet? Yeah, I won't go too deeply into that, but that's how I found out I have clinical depression. Seriously... I'm on antis now. And depression is a chemical imbalance triggered by stress. Most people diagnosed with depression usually have a genetic predisposition for it. But the antidepressants have helped, and I'm in therapy. If you guys are really really really feeling like life is just sucking it up right now, I'd suggest therapy. I know the idea of having to go see a shrink sucks, but I swear to you it helps. And you won't end up with cops and meds banging down your door because you're crying histerically lying on your bathroom floor with an open bottle of sleeping pills in your hand.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>

<p>btw, emo is like the only thing I listen to. ha ha</p>
<p>I really don't wanna bring you guys down, I don't. I just want you to see reality. Don't treat depression lightly: "aw i have a test monday and a project due! now I can't go to that party" :( poor baby. Seriously, "there are people who actually have depression" -> yes, OOO! OOO! me! me! i'm one of them!!! Really guys, take a look at your lives and realize how lucky you are.</p>
<p>"I watched Garden State three times last weekend. I want Natalie Portman really really badly."</p>
<p>You are indeed depressed.</p>
