I'm a senior in highschool and I've been very depressed for years now. I've never been a happy child and I've never had anyone to trust. I grew up in a rough childhood and my parents divorced at age 6. I was forced to live with my father and step mom and I hated every minute of it. I was removed from my school and placed into a new enviroment. I was picked on as a kid and I had no new friends. I had no friends at all. Then when I got into middle school, I was kicked out of my dads house which was practically ran by my step mom who had control over everything. My dad kicked me out at age 12 at night. I lived with my grandma, while my mom became a sober individual. She has been sober for 5 years now, but a new problem comes in. She gets boyfriends here and there and she focuses on them more than her own kids. I'm the youngest, so I'm left in the hell hole. I'm a average student, making A's and B's, occassionally C's. I have a job that I can't stand and I never have time for anything. Money slacks but I get by. My school is complete hell for me, and I dread every day there. My dad only seems to talk to me when my step mom isn't around. Oh I forgot to mention, my dad and step mom now have a one year old...I'm very stressed and upset with everything. I cry daily over very little things. I can't trust anyone due to a consueling my step mom put me in and the lady told everything to my step mom. Now my mom wants to put me in a treatment because she thinks everything is my problem...I don't know what to do anymore. I need help.
