Even thought im still young it feels like i've everything there is to do in life. i'm bored of my life...help?


Question:
I'm only 15, but it feels like im one of those old men who sit on their front porch and do nothing, waiting until they die. I have great friends, but i get bored of them. I read alot and i go out with friends alot, but at the same time im tired of everything. nothing is exciting anymore. Everything feels dull and like i've done it 100 times already, and for my age i've already done alot of things, probably not as much as someone of 30, 40, or 50 years old, but it feels that way. I try to change things up, but then i just get bored of that. I want to change my ways but i cant find anything that keeps me interested. Alot of times already before i go to sleep i've just wished to be dead and i've become depressed with life in general. I just dont know what to do anymore. My birthday is coming up on the 10th, but it just feels like another waste of time...

Wow! hun your to young to be bored with your life already! It sounds like you might have depression, have you considered talking to your doctor! Plus it sounds like you might need to do some different things, pick up a hobby something you can get interested in. What types of things do you like?? Cars?? Go to car shows stuff like that! There is all kinds of collections you can have. Stamps, coins and cars are a few! Maybe try something different like fishing or boating or tubing! It sounds like you have lots of friends! Thats a big help in life! My boyfriend makes knives, maybe you could try something like that! He learned by reading books from the library! He does a beautiful job and it makes him happy! Find something that makes you happy, try new stuff, you've never done before. Libraries are a great place to start, tell the librarian you would like to look at books of crafts and stuff men do and make, books may give you more ideas of where to start. I wish you good luck! Please see your doctor if your depression keeps up! Hugs!
I've felt like that for a few years, probably a bit before 15 years old (just turned 18), and I frustrated myself with it for a while. I picked up a hobby - not just as entertainment, but as output. If you're a creative creature, as I am, create things. Although, I'm the kind of person that feels as though they'll be most happy when in their 30's, and structure is kinda my thing. That's why I'm a chainmailler ;)
By creating, you are making goals that are finished soon, and can be continued with the next project. ..Like a checklist.
I also like to learn. Try watching shows and going to places you haven't before and researching a bit - things you're interested in, of course.
Get a job(depending on your state, you might have to wait a few months). That mixed it up quite a bit for me.
It sounds like your life has become stagnant? Try joining a group at your school e.g. a book club, or lunch-time work at the school canteen, or just asking your head teacher if you could take on more responcibility at the school, which should provide some exciting new options.

I felt like I had done everything, and there was no point in living anymore, as there would be ups and downs, but none of it would be truly forfilling, I was really depressed and having suicidal thoughts (not suicidal though), and I talked to some guys at school, now I sometimes go out drinking with them (something I completely recommend you don't do, drinking is bad etc.), but its added risk, and given me something to look forward to.

You should talk to your school's consellor, and let them know what you're feeling, even if its just a 30 minute meeting to tell them how you feel, and possibly recieving some relevant suggestions on how to improve your life (They might ask to check up on you for a few minutes each week to make sure you're doing okay, but they won't label you crazy and tell your parents etc.)
PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING YOU WILL REGRET! If you want to talk to someone you can always e-mail me and i will be happy to help you.
