i know how you feel because i was once battling depression for a whole year straight during my high school years. but here are some things which helped me get out of it. and i am pretty young too (just turned 20) so i hope i can reach out to you somehow.

- idk if this will work for you (it kinda worked for me a bit) but think about other people out there that have it worse and be thankful about what you have. be thankful that you have a roof over your head and have other things that you have,
- another thing i found helpful is to find an outlet. maybe learn something totally new? something that you think you might find interesting. like: learning a new instrument, learn more about how your car works, learn a new sport. and its even better if you are out of the house and/or with new people. basically it keeps your mind off things and you wont think about it as much as time goes by.
-try not to stay alone for long periods of time. its ok that you can have solitude even now and then but try not to do it too much. the more you are out of the house, the better chance you will forget that you are depressed.
- and as i said before, meet new people. join a group or something of the same interest. and since high school is over, youll be able to do what you want without have the pressure from cliques or w/e.

but really as you grow older, youll realize some things. life is tough and there are some challenges that you have to do by yourself. youll find it easier to get over depression as time goes on by overcoming these challenges.

and lastly, just dont resort to suicide. your gonna end up hurting your loved ones along with yourself.
hope that helps =]
