I have been so sad lately, because it seems like there is no future left for any of us due to a rising population, global warming, collapsing of western economy, and corrupt rich people.....it seems theres no hope :(

i just turned 19 yesterday, and have been so depressed the past few weeks. i am in college, going for math education, have a family and i commute, im single but have lots of friends and are very sociable, have a part time job but i feel hopeless about the future.....america seems like its declinging to third world staus, with the new national defense law theyre going to arrest anyone, people want sex more than love and dont want relationships they lose interest after two weeeks like, problems with iran dn israel it seems like a ncuealer war is going to happen soon.....so with no future job, love life, no good world; i use to be the optimistic person helping others but i feel sad and pessimistic now....what u think????any tips????do u think it gets better??

Watch less TV.

America will go down the drain and the world will end. But hey! That's no reason to be bummed out, have a good day anyway. It is your choice after all.

'Be The Blessing'. Google it. They sell t shirts. Buy one or two. Or three. Its for a ministry, but do you really need to believe in God to appreciate the power behind those words...?

America is not the world. The planet is a big place. There are plenty of opportunities.
Watch less TV and study more.

as for depression- exercise more, join a hiking club or sport group. You'd be surprised how you feel after a sweat.
