Depressed :(

Hi,
I feel very depressed and it's even worse over the summer since I have nothing better to do than to sit and think about how depressed I am. I have been depressed for this whole year. I don't enjoy going out or staying with anyone, I just want to be alone and cry like all the time. I hate it. I can't even sleep, because I cry at night. There isn't anything wrong with me (or with my life). I do feel lonely, because I don't really have close friends or a boyfriend. My parents are married and we all live together but they never talk to each other and they are depressed too. That's why I stay in my room like all the time to avoid them. All of my friends are away for the summer. What can I do to stop being so depressed?
Thanks!

Oh and I'm 16 and I'm going to be a senior next year and my sister is leaving for college but that doesn't really bother me because we were never close.

Hello:
Are you depressed or bored? What can you do to stay busy during the summer? Lots of people think that they are depressed when there is not a reason to get up in the morning. You need to find a reason to wake up and feel good about yourself. Do you work? Do you exercise? What do you like to do?
