The Mind is very powerful. If you think you are worthless, you will feel worthless.
When you change your thinking that you can accomplish great things and are not worthless, you will accomplish great things.

I have always has bouts of feeling depressed. I kinda sulk around for awhile and that feeling passes. That comment 1967 made about dancing was so true. When I was very sad over my mom’s illness, I would drag myself to an aerobic class six days a week. I really worked it. When I came out of the class I was soaked in perspiration. My hair was totally wet. This is the way I got through her stroke. It’s worked other times too.
Also, I went to a counselor. That helped too.

By the way, people who work do not feel worthless, they feel accomplished and self reliant. Another reason for you to find a job, (as my suggestion in an earlier post). So you see, your life will change for the better once you become more of a success in life, it can start with a simple part time job. Do not leave school, however. In fact, if you have real issues, there are staff at your school in the guidance department who can help, or get you with someone who will help sort out your feelings. Good luck...

You're not worthless.My guess is someone in your life is just making you feel that way.My best advice is to stay out of their orbit, Not everyone can be indispensible but we all make our contribution in our own way & in our own time.You're very young.Give it time.

Sheila was fat and looking back I think she was jealous of me. (I wasn’t fat) One time in high school she decided that I shouldn’t wear panty hose. (It was a short-lived fad in the U.S.) Anyway Sheila and another girl ripped my hose off. It was horrible experience.
I was the one who felt worthless and stupid. That was bully stuff. It was particularly bad because she was in my ... clique.
jersy: I didn’t do anything. I just suffered low self esteem. I wouldn’t tell even my parents. I should have gone to the school counselor but didn’t. Maybe my teen years were the most difficult for me.
jersy, I hope things will work out ok for you. Does your mother understand how you feel? Does she help you with the person who causes you hurt?
Your mother would have a terrible time of it if the "secret" got out.
Be careful, jersy. Your situation will probably get better in the next year. I sure do hope so. I don't like that your father gives you such a burden when he tells you what he tells you.
Most of the people on akaQA will guide you as best we can. However, at any time we could say the wrong thing.
I find your writing easy to read. : )

No persons life is worthless, think about what you like best to do, talk with a counselor, ask them for advice. When I feel abit down, which is not often, I think about the people worse of than myself. You could join a voluntary group ( if you are old enough) and help out, this way you will be helping others, and wont feel worthless. Just some ideas, Good luck.

Worthless??? That is a negative implant put there by some outer alien force (not you dear) and which should immediately be erased and replaced by positive affirming thoughts...or make a list of what you are grateful for...or a list of things that you are NOT ...or go a walk with your buds...or take a swim with friends...or study..write a song...be joyous and revel in Y-O-U!!!...inspire someone with your music as even the birds seek a bit of inspiration now and then...above all take no-one elses' criticism to heart...if another is not willing to fill your shoes on your dying day, then how on earth could they even try to fill your shoes and do your living for you?? Criticism is best left for the field of art as positive observation...Peace baby.
Also....your Father is not your 'girlfriend' and should really have more maturity and discretion when it comes to talking to you about these serious 'adult' problems..tell him to go talk to his wife...your mother, about his relationship with HER and not to burden you again and that you will expose him and his 'talk' to the other adults in your life. That should make him think twice about what is appropriate conversation with you, his child!! Peace baby.

How do you stop feeling worthless when society is programmed to be so harsh.
We all become an extension of the 4 walls into which we are born
If we don't find what we need within those walls
We look for it in the school yard
If we are unable to find it in the school yard
We look for it amongst society
If society doesn't fulfill what we need
We have a good chance of taking the longest journey of all in life
THE JOURNEY INWARD WHERE WE STOP LOOKING TO FULFILL THAT NEED

I cry, feel sorry for myself, question the value of my existence....stuff like that. Probably I think about people I believe have double-crossed me/stabbed me in the back....screwed me over in one way or another, and I feel some resentment.
When I am done being self-destructive, I DO something. It might be as simple as laundry, weeding, go bowling, or read a book. Underneath it all, I know I'm not really WORTHLESS, just having self-doubts.
(I recently found a letter I'd written to a friend back in 1967, when I was 15. Why I never mailed it, I don't know, nor why I still have it. The letter was about my dad not giving a hoot - much less two hoots, about me. I'd just come home from a conference at UC Davis. Dad didn't ask me about my week at all, then criticized my hair and told my mom I looked like a comic book character when he thought I couldn't hear him. My mom, on the other hand, was always pushing me to be more.....certainly a no-win situation I've carried through life, much to my own misfortunes. Moral of the story: Your value is not dictated by others, no matter what THEY think.)
