Slightly Depressed

    Hi,

    I can't say that I'm in despair but having taken a step back to look at myself I'm far from satisfied.

    I'm 17 in 5th Year, currently coming to the end of the Easter holidays.

    Generally I'm considered to be quite smart, now I'm not a nerd and never really embraced that life, I do my best really to avoid being placed in that grouping. Thats not to say I don't like being intelligent. It's fantastic. I've won numerous awards etc. but I mostly credit this to a natural learning instinct, see I don't study much or dedicate my time to homework, and recently as much as I try I can't seem to motivate myself to do any work, work that needs to be done.

    So I don't work much. I must be occupied right? Wrong. I waste my time. I wanted to use this holiday to reinvent myself but that never happened. Nothing did.

    I have no girlfriend.
    I have few interests/activities.
    I have a dwindling no. of friends (Though I have a few close friends)

    A while back I failed to get onto my student council, voted for by the students and teachers, something I really thought I would achieve and really wanted. I saw the entire affair as a reflection on what my peers and teachers thought of me. THEN, I got really depressed. It shouldn't of even been that difficult. 18 of 40 got voted on.

    Sometimes I look at myself and think that I'm unattractive also. I'm very skinny, and I often get spots on my face and back. I do go to the gym on weekends though. I'm also reasonably shy around new people.

    I'm not sure If I'm looking for advice (though it is appreciated), venting or whatever but thank you for reading this and I do feel a bit better already just putting this out there,

    J.
