How do I stop being depressed?

I try to be happy, I really do, even if it means faking a smile.I've cried so much this past week, I just fell helpless and useless. I can't find myself asking anyone for help. I've always been told to keep my mouth shut, and not give my opinions out when spoken to. And that's what I did. For years I'd sit alone without talking to anyone, and when I made a 'friend' they'd always make fun of me because of my English. And once, a boy even threw a rock at me.I feel like no one really cares, that I have no meaning. I Lost everyone who ever really cared. My grandmother died of cancer. I Lost my grandfather too.

How do I find real happiness when it's pretty much everyone who hates me?
My parents don't even tell my brother to stop hurting me. They just let me bleed.

From what I've heard, toi have a really unsupportive group of people surrounding you. No wonder toi feel so low. It's definitely hard to remain happy, optimistic ou positive when negativity surrounds you. First try talking to your parents. Tell them politely but firmly that toi think your brother's antics are going out of hand and to take matters into hand when his antics are starting to get nasty. Of course, a little bit of sibling fight is healthy, but as long as matters stay in hand. And for those people, who are making toi feel bad, ignore them. They just won't be able to feel good about themselves until they hurt somebody. Sometimes if they get that their cheap mindgames are not breaking through to you, they may drop it. But if toi find that, with every time toi remain silent their bullying increases, speak up and give them a peice of your mind so that toi will able to sleep well and peacefully at night.
And as a last resort, try moving out as soon as toi can and try hanging out with a new group of friends. Hope everything works out for you. Good luck :)

Well actually I had and am facing similar depression from past 2 weeks. Yesterday I cried all jour because of a person.

But toi know what crying for people who really don't care about toi is a waste of time and I have realized it. If your parents don't care about it then don't cry like a coward and just let them know that if they don't care toi won't care about them too.

A tip as your Friends bully toi (they aren't actually your Friends then but your enemy) ignore them, be plus confident and read inspiring books, engage your self in musique (it will give toi relieve) and instead of listening sad songs and cry try to listen pop songs and enjoy them. déplacer out for a walk when toi feel toi are loosing your self and enjoy nature.

photographie is a good way to express your feelings to the world. toi can write a diary so that there'll be someone whom toi can tell everything.

Paper is plus patient than people and they won't share your secrets ou make fun of you. Plus écriture diary in English will improve your écriture and speaking skills. toi can always use a dictionary.
Don't hurt (physically) your brother back as maybe it could make the situation worse. Because he could attack plus violently.

And feel free to talk to me anytime toi want. I will listen to you. Because I feel strangers can understand your ou mine problem better than our close persons.

Be Positive ^_^
Lots of hugs
