Dear Anon. I would like to add that I have been through years of depression and treatments. I know there are good counselors out there and I would encourage you to be honest with your parents. Like Dr Heller said they really do want you to be happy and productive. If you talk to a psychologist who specializes in interest testing it would give you an idea of just what areas you are really interested in and want to pursue. They do all kinds of testing and help you decide what you would like to do with your life, and you do have a beautiful life ahead of you, if you can just find the right path. I think if you ask your parents to see someone who could test you and see what your interests are they may be more amenable to you talking to someone. If you focus on a career choice as a place to start it might help. Best of everything to you and may you soon feel worthwhile. I know how miserable it is to feel that way, it is no fun. But death is not the answer. God does love you. He never takes away His unconditional love and He has promised to never leave us or forsake us. So try to hold on and see something positive in your life. bbnrse
