From a person who has battled depression in the past.
Some advice, slap yourself every time you say, "I'm depressed."
The more time you say or think you are depressed, the deeper you will sink.
Just say to yourself something positive even when doing things that are "depressing."
Example,
You come in from school and feel like shit; you just want to get into bed.
Do not say "this world sucks; let me leave it for a while."
Say something dumb like "I did a good job at school all day, now to get a little rest as a reward."
As silly as it sounds, doing is believing, and you will be happier for it.
