Answer 1

Just try to divert ur concentration.Just explore in which u r more stronger.Just prove urself tht u too can something which ur frds or ur brothers cannot do.If u strong in studies,just work hard and prove them by scoring higher marks.Physical structure is not a matter at all.Many scientist and record breakers are dark n ugly.Dnt mind others.read lots of book which will gve confidence to you.Change ur dressing sense which make u look better. change ur style.change urself which will gve confidence to u.Just dnt mind any one.Just think u r most beautifull person the world.Dnt lose hope.Dnt take exttreme steps.

Brothers tell you all sort of things when they are angry. It does not show they mean it, only that they are angry. A seven years old may tell you to drop dead, translated, it means, go away, I'm very angry at you. Of course he would be sad, but don't ever think of harming yourself just to show them. Your 12 years old brother was angry too when he said that. If you were not 15 but 11 when he told you to get a nose job, you would have told him to get a but. t job. But now you are too sensitive.14-16 is just the age to feel bitter, depressed and clumsy. Don't cry, stay out of their way. Music is good but doing things are better. If there are places you can do sports, it gets you tired and it is a good sort of tiredness. If you have any talent in arts, try to do some creative work. If there are any courses, you can take, take them. Do things all the time so that you don't have time to sit back and think and pity yourself. Be busy, it helps to overcome depression. Your family is probably too busy as most parents are. They are probably not aware of how you feel. Most of us have few friends, and just hang out with them ,don't expect too much. Everyday, stay in front of the mirror and say ' I am good, I am beautiful, I am worthy, I am intelligent, and smile' 20-30 times. It sounds stupid, but try to believe what you say, and it helps.If you really think you are fat, try to give away a few pounds. At your age, cutting down some bread, fried things, and sugar is enough. Everyday go out to walk, take some fresh air, feed the birds, Do some window shopping, do little things that cheer you up, whatever you like or whatever you used to like.  Good luck. And also , when you are sure ,you won't break and burst out crying, tell that friend how you felt about that btrayal. But be sure that you can be cool. Let the burden off your shoulders. When you are very down, fill the bathtub with warm water , put a jarful of salt in it ( kitchen salt- ordinary salt)and some nice smelling bubbly soap, and stay in it for 20 minutes. It helps to relax you, that is if your family permits you to own the Bathroom for half an hour. Good luck again.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so down! First of all let me tell you that feeling like this is very common as you grow up. You are 15, discovering who you are and your purpose in life. It's a scary world out there and it's natural that sometimes we don't like ourselves and we get really down.

Your brothers are still also very young and kids can be cruel. They don't mean a word of what they say to you. Trust me. Your brother (12 yr old) may even be unhappy with himself and is putting you down as a way to make himself feel better. Strange as it sounds but people, even adults behave like this.

Try writing a list, a list of all the things you like about yourself and what makes you different to everybody else. These reasons are what makes YOU special. Listen to your music and do what makes you happy.

When your in a situation when you are being put down or you feel sad, think of your list. You will learn to ignore the things people say to you and as you get older you will begin to appreciate yourself more.

Answer 6

sh*t your situation is very hard. i have an idea to shift the way your family thinks towards you but, i don't think you can do it this time. okay, relax, think positive and don't keep thinking of it (i know it's hard).

think of it like this.. ignore your 7 year old brother (he don't understand things yet and it's surprised me that a 7 year old can say that) while your 12 year old other brother is just being frank (he don't understand about feelings yet) give your self a favor you are the older person you should understand them. think that you love your brothers and you will act like it, in that way their feelings will be closer to you and you will have a better bond as you go through. always smile to everyone specially with your members (it helps). and there are millions of friends in the world. enjoy your life outside the house and dont let this affect your studies. your only problem is your parents but, think positive that they care about you, they are just acting bad. understand them. at this point the best way to make you feel better is to shift your mentality to positive thinking. enjoy your life outside and be cheeful inside the house. the more you feel the anxiety the more you fall.
