I am depressed, I feel up and down all the time. How can I fix that from just being happy?

Question

I am a freshman for high school in one day and really nervous about it. I also play football which i kind of hate, i do it just because i know my family would be disappointed. I have hung out with my friends for awhile. I don't do anything vacation wise with the fam. I am usually really depressed in the last couple months. Mainly, cause my summer has really sucked! please give me advice on what to do?

Answer 1

If you hate football, dont do it.....do something else that you like.  When you are in school, summer does tend to suck mostly cause you build yourself up for it so much in the spring when you are sick of classes, and since it doesnt turn out to be something comepletely fantastic, it ends up being a let down at the end since its almost over.  Not everyone goes away for vacations every summer.....actually most people dont.  And to see friends less is a tendency in summer....you are used to seeing them at least 5 days a week at school during the school year.  Just look forward to school and being around your friends and having something to do every day.
